  • 1.  Criate a new project through process

    Posted Jul 02, 2014 08:56 AM

    Guys, I'm creating a process aiming to copy the properties from one project to a new project created a new layout and a new EAP. In version 13.1 of Clarity there are some cases in which the draft is to my understanding that purpose (id ='s csk_InfrastructureProject, csk_majorITProject). I tried to use them as a base, but I can not, in time to run the process it overlap the current project and does not create a new project. What better way to solve this?

    Hi,

     

    Why don't you use a gel script to do a xog read of your project, Change the name and ID of the xog file and then xog it back in.

    I don't think I understand what you are trying to do.  Can you explain what you want to do more fully?

    I need to create a process to automate the change of phase of a project. The project has a wbs PRELIMINARY. In another phase, the new project created from this has a new wbs, but the properties tab has the same data.

    As Jeanne suggested, creating a process would fulfill the requirement.

    This seems kind of roundabout.  But it would do the job.

     

    1.  Create a custom object that has all of the fields that you want from the project properties page.

    2.  Create a mapping from the project object to your custom object and then a second one from the custom object to the project object.

         See this thread if you need instructions on how to do this:  Convert Clarity Idea into Incident

    3.  Create a process that converts your project to a custom object using the Convert Object System action.

    4.  Create a second process that autostarts on create of your Custom Object that converts the custom object into a new project.  You could also probably launch a subprocess from your previous process to accomplish the same thing.  But a second process seems more straightforward to me.
