Notes

• While both P6 Professional and Oracle Primavera Contractor can import and export XER files, the formats of the XER files are different. Therefore, when exporting a project for use with Oracle Primavera Contractor, you must select the Primavera Contractor - (XER) option instead of the Primavera PM - (XER) option.
• If you are exporting a project that you previously imported; and, that project contains relationships to external projects that do not exist in your database; and, you scheduled the project; be sure that you scheduled the project with the Ignore Relationships To and From Other Projects option selected (in the Schedule Options dialog box). If you select this option when scheduling the project, the module will preserve the external activity dates.
