Using Oracle Primavera P6 Source Plans with OnePager Version 7.1

Introduction

To use OnePager Bundle Standalone with Oracle Primavera P6 you are required to have Oracle Primavera P6 installed on your computer with OnePager Bundle, possess a valid Oracle Primavera P6 license and an account, and have Oracle Primavera P6 source plans that can be imported to OnePager Bundle. With these requirements satisfied, OnePager Bundle can access your Oracle Primavera P6 XML formatted, ZIP formatted, or XER formatted files and create a NEW chart, UPDATE an existing chart, or OPEN an already created chart residing on your computer.

This article is a complete guide for using OnePager Bundle Standalone for importing Oracle Primavera P6 XML, ZIP, or XER files through the creation of a OnePager Chart, editing the chart, and incorporating the chart into a schedule conversation such as pasting the chart into a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

As a convention, whenever we refer to the OnePager Bundle in the context of Oracle Primavera P6, we'll just say OnePager when its absolutely clear that we are discussing OnePager with Oracle Primavera P6. Since only the Standalone edition of OnePager can import Oracle Primavera P6 XML formatted, XER formatted files, and ZIP formatted files containing XML formatted data, we'll just leave the suffix "Standalone" off.
