The functionality of the Appius-PLM integration module with the Oracle Primavera project management system ensures the quick exchange of data between the two systems. The module adapts to the structure of a particular company - the settings specify the data parameters that need to be obtained from the systems. For example, it is possible to customize the creation of a work breakdown structure (WBS) in Oracle Primavera based on the project structure in Appius-PLM. After uploading data from both systems, the integration module checks the structures by code and unique identifier. When uploading the WBS, the required levels are automatically created in Oracle Primavera with the required parameters filled in.
The module provides the following options for users:
- import of document sets from Appius-PLM to Oracle Primavera;
- exporting dates to Appius-PLM in case of their adjustment (for example, the “Late Finish” date from Oracle Primavera can be transferred to the “Required date for issuing documentation for work” property);
- setting up automatic linking of documentation from Appius-PLM with calendar-network schedules in Oracle Primavera.
By automating the exchange of information between systems, human error is eliminated and the risks associated with documentary support of projects are minimized.
