Defining projects in Maximo and Primavera Project Management
A project is a collection of one or more work orders. The project logic establishes
the relationships between the work orders. You can define a project when you
export work orders to Primavera Project Management.
About this task
If you export a work order to create a project, that project name is the selected
work order ID or the ID of the parent work order. The project description is the
work order description or the parent work order description and the project
planned start date is the date that you exported the work orders.
1. On the List tab of the Work Order Tracking (PV) application, run a query to
select the work orders that you want to export to the new project.
2. In the Work Order Tracking application, click.
3. From the Primavera tab, go to the Export tab and expand the EPS node in
which you want the new project to be.
4. Select the appropriate options from the options list.
5. In the Primavera EPS Detail section, choose one of the following export
functions to export your data:
Option Description
Work Orders Export creates a new project in
Primavera for each work order in the query
result set.
Click Work Orders Export.
Project Export creates a new project in
Primavera that includes all work orders in
the query result set.
Specify the project name, project description,
and planned start date and then click
Project Export. If you do not specify a

“Data transfer requirements and restrictions” on page 20There are several requirements and restrictions on what data can be transferred
between IBM Maximo Asset Management and Primavera Project Management.
“EPS detail” on page 17The Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) is a framework in the Primavera product
that contains details of the projects that are in the database and the ownership of
those projects. When a project is created, it is assigned to an EPS node. Every time
that you transfer data between IBM Maximo Asset Management and Primavera
Project Management, you should verify that the Enterprise Project Structure (EPS)
into which you plan to transfer data exists in Primavera.Related tasks
“Appending result sets” on page 14You can use the IBM Maximo Asset Management to append a result set to a
project. When you append a work order to a project, you are creating new
activities in Primavera Project Management.

Management that was created by exporting the project from IBM Maximo Asset
Management. When you overwrite a project, all work orders are removed but all
the project details, such as notes and logs are maintained.
Creating relationships between tasks on projects
The relationships between tasks on a work order is called logic in IBM Maximo
Asset Management. You can add relationships in Primavera Project Management
and export them to Maximo Asset Management where they can be viewed on the
Logic tab. All dates that are based on the relationships that are generated in
Primavera can be exported and stored also in Maximo Asset Management. You can
add logic in Maximo Asset Management but Maximo Asset Management does not
display the relationships through a visual component as in Primavera.
About this task
The Logic tab in the Job Plans (PV) application and the Logic tab in the Work
Order Tracking (PV) application provide the same functionality. You can begin this
process from either application.
Valid values for the type of relationship are the following:
v FF - Finish to Finish: The completion of the To Task activity depends on the
completion of the From Task activity.
v FS - Finish to Start: The start of the To Task activity depends on the completion
of the From Task activity.
v SF - Start to Finish: The To Task activity cannot complete until the From Task
activity starts.
Chapter 3. Administering 7
v SS - Start to Start: The start of the To Task activity depends on the start of the
From Task activity.1. Go into the Job Plans (PV) or the Work Order Tracking (PV) application. Select
the job plan or work order for which you want to create logic.
2. On the Logic tab, in the Logic for Job Plan name section or Logic for Work

About this task
The parent work orders, or PM records that you want to transfer to Primavera
Project Management must be listed on the List tab in the Work Order Tracking
(PV) or Preventive Maintenance (PV) application. Child work orders are
transferred to Primavera Project Management only as part of a hierarchy. Child
work orders listed on the List tab are not transferred to Primavera Project
Management.
The activity changes that are transferred are as follows.
v All activity resource assignments
v Maximo named activity codes
v Activity fields defined in the standard integration and in the PLUSVMAP table
The update happens in two phases. The first phase identifies all activities created
in IBM Maximo Asset Management and their associated resource assignments. The
resource assignments are deleted from the adapter table. This approach does not
affect any activity information that was added through Primavera Project
Management. The second phase inserts activity information created in Maximo
Asset Management into the adapter table, including resource assignments.

Data transfer requirements and restrictions
There are several requirements and restrictions on what data can be transferred
between IBM Maximo Asset Management and Primavera Project Management.
v Project maintenance (PM) records
To transfer PM records from Maximo Asset Management to Primavera, in the
Preventative Maintenance (PV) application, the following settings must be
configured.
– The Estimated Next Due Date (that is located on the Time Based Frequency
sub-tab of the Frequency tab) must be set to a future date.
– The Extended Date on the Frequency tab must equal the current date.
– Adjust Next Due Date must be selected.
PM records in a hierarchy and PM records not in a hierarchy can be exported.
All PM records and job plans that you want to export must be active.
v Purchase order lines
If a work order is referenced on a purchase order line and the work order is
exported to a project in Primavera, the purchase order line becomes a constraint
activity in Primavera with a Finish-Start relationship to the work order activity.
For example: In Maximo Asset Management, PO 1068 line 1 references work
order 1032. When the project is exported, both the PO line and the work order
become activities in Primavera. The PO activity is created with a Finish-Start
relationship to activity 1032.
v Labor, crafts, and tools
All labor, crafts, and tools are exported to Primavera the first time there is an
export from Maximo Asset Management. If a resource changes in Maximo Asset
Management, the corresponding record in Primavera changes on the next export
from Maximo Asset Management.
v Calendars
If the mxe.primavera.exportcalendars parameter in the MAXPROP table is set to
Y then all calendars are exported to Primavera the first time there is an export
from Maximo Asset Management to Primavera. If a calendar changes in Maximo
Asset Management, the corresponding calendar in Primavera changes on the
next export from Maximo Asset Management.
v Dates
Actual start, actual finish, scheduled start, scheduled finish, and constraint dates
are the only date fields that are exported from Maximo Asset Management to
20 IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera
Primavera. Projects that are imported back into Maximo Asset Management
update the scheduled or actual dates depending on the status of the activity in
Primavera. If the activity is not started, the scheduled dates are changed with
the values that are imported from Primavera. If an activity is started, the actual
dates are changed with the values that are imported from Primavera. Target
dates are never affected by importing a project into Maximo Asset Management.

The PLUSVMAP mapping runs after the adapter completes the standard updates
and inserts into Primavera for an export or Maximo Asset Management for an
import. Spare fields in the respective applications are intended to be used to
customize data transfer. However, the process can be overwritten. If this is done,
the client must take full responsibility for doing so.

resource record is updated.
v If the Schedule by Work Location check box is not selected, a resource record is
created in Primavera for the craft record that is specified on the work order or
task. The craft standard rate is included on the resource record. In a
multi-organization environment where duplicate crafts with different standard
rates could exist, only the first craft record is exported to Primavera.
v If the Schedule by Work Location check box is selected, the location specified
on the task is checked for a work location prefix value. If a prefix exists, it is
appended to the beginning of the craft to create a resource record in Primavera.
If the task location does not have a work location prefix, the location of the
parent is checked for a work location prefix. If it has a work location prefix, the
work location of the parent is appended to the craft specified on the task to

“Creating relationships between tasks on projects” on page 7The relationships between tasks on a work order is called logic in IBM Maximo
Asset Management. You can add relationships in Primavera Project Management
and export them to Maximo Asset Management where they can be viewed on the
Logic tab. All dates that are based on the relationships that are generated in
Primavera can be exported and stored also in Maximo Asset Management. You can
add logic in Maximo Asset Management but Maximo Asset Management does not
display the relationships through a visual component as in Primavera.
The Maximo Asset Management table for exporting project
expenses

The Maximo Asset Management PLUSVSESSION table for
importing new activities
New activities are imported from Primavera Project Management to the IBM
Maximo Asset Management WORKORDER table as task records. When a project is
selected for import into Maximo Asset Management, the relevant row is retrieved
from the PLUSVSESSION table and the PVPROJID is used to retrieve the project
from Primavera. If the project contains an activity which does not exist in Maximo
Asset Management, a new task record is created in Maximo Asset Management.
