Hi All,

I used SolutionUpgrade Tool to export some Project Template Items that have been already created.
But it doesn't work what I expected.

 

There are no relationships( WBS, Activity etc ). I created the packege difinition with Aras UI according to SolutionUpgrade Tool document. Here is my manifest file.

-------

<imports>
  <package name="ProjectTemplatePackage" path="ProjectTemplatePackage\Import">
  </package>
</imports>

---------

Of course, AML files in the import folder are not good.

---------

<AML>
 <Item type="Project Template" id="B1C0CB143DE541109A222441C98C3841" action="add">
  <description>AIAG Standard Advanced Product Quality Planning process</description>
  <name>APQP</name>
  <wbs_id keyed_name="APQP" type="WBS Element">4E15596C62994F2CA9BB5DDCD7E66AAD</wbs_id>
 </Item>
</AML>

Hello Boro,

Project Templates do not expand well due to the relationship to the WBS structure being behind the WBS_ID  property,  instead of a relationship.

Kostja at Freudenberg-FDS and I built a set of utilities for  Exporting / Importing Project Templates (and converting a Project into a Template,  also useful sometimes).    These utilities are tuned to follow the exact Project - WBS  data mdoel,  and they also preserve the dependencies (precedence). 

http://www.aras.com/communityProjects/default.aspx?projectid=861A313128D84B88A156D049899BEEA2     is the link to the Community Project.      We lasted verified this package on Innovator 8.2.0.   May run as-is on 9.1,  or may need some small adjustments,  but I wouldn't expect they would be difficult to do.    If you do make changes,  please email the updated package to me so that I can post it.
