alternatively, you can clean your xer files after export – check this post.

xer file slow to import to p6? try cleaning pobs data

are you sure you’re logging in with admuser?

select *

from dba_tables

where table_name = ‘pobs’

but now when i use the delete command, it does not work and show the same above error. please help. i have checked exporting various files using p6 8.3.2 all are around 20+ mb and when the exporting starts it copies the pobs files.

hi soumak,
i think that request might be out of my league. i think you would want to talk to a database expert. i know a little, but not enough.
i do know that in the newer versions of p6, this bug is fixed, so if you’re able to upgrade i suggest you do that. here is some info on the latest version.

thanks for the wonderful tips and steps for cleaning the pobs data. we are using this application since long and its a generic issue with most of the project planners. i am more interested in having this process getting automated.

i would be glad if you could help me out with the process of automating the deletion from pobs table. my mail id:- (soumak.manna91@gmail.com).

waiting for your reply.

thanks in advance.

if you are receiving error messages when running commands with oracle xe, you have to end your statement with a ;

so these are the commands you would like to use

delete from pobs;
alter trigger rt_pobs disable;
alter trigger rt_pobs_del disable;

also, if you are having issues finding pobs data, try the other accounts of the database such as admprm$pm

hi – sorry i’m so late on this reply. i don’t have any 2022年足球世界杯入选名单 you on this – it’s more of an sql expert question. sorry.

first off i’d like to thank you for taking the time to write this. i’ve looked all over the internet for a solution to this issue and your post is by far the most most in-depth explanation and solution to the pobs issue. so again, thank you.

little background…my company has a p6 database setup for each of our regional offices (~8). i’ve recently (past year) made it a habit to run the pobs cleaner utility prior to importing to the 3 databases i regularly use. however some of our other regions have not been so fortunate. for instance: a 900 activity 14mb schedule (minimal 世界杯时间比赛时间 ) reduces to <1mb after running the pobs utility. while this is frustrating the bigger issue is when they try to link a p6 schedule to synchro or navisworks. they report it takes +30 min while i can perform the same sync on the 'clean' schedule in 15 seconds….

having said that i don't have access to the sql database as this is managed by our it department. although i prefer it that way (read: i don't want to mess anything up) i'm also handcuffed as it relates to helping out schedulers in other regions. long story short (and prior to reading your post) i reached out to a scheduler in the industry who provided me with instructions on how to truncate (ie truncate table pobs) in lieu of delete. our it ran the command but received the following error:

msg 4712, level 16, state 1, line 1
cannot truncate table 'pobs' because it is being referenced by a foreign key constraint.

have you encountered this error before? do you know how we can get around this?

we are using a sqlserver database, p6 version 7.0 sp3 (yea…) if that helps.

cheers,

tj

what database engine are you using?

please advise the following comments getting in primavera p6 while login the software..

your database size has reached to 110.63 percent of maximum database size allowed, please take appropriate action.

hi
it is possible that you don’t have any pobs data in your database. then my assumption is that the xer file is coming from a database that does have pobs data.

thanks michael great utility

turns out it pretty easy to clean individual xer files are you go. i use a small app created by ahmet kochan here’s the link://www.deco-dalles.com/clean-pobs-xer-file/#comment-31112

still importing xer process is taking long time (3 hours) . the xer is about 8 projects with external links nad 75000 activities (max 45000 activities per project). do you have any idea?

best regards,

“your database size has reached to 96.4 percent of the maximum database size allowed. please take appropriate action.”
i am using primavera p6 professional r8.3.2 and my primavera stopped once after data base reach 124 percent despite the deletion i did for most of my project ,that time the only solution was reinstalling p6 again
hope you found a solution for this problem
thanks in advance
