Microsoft Project Import/Export Overview

You can import Microsoft Project projects into your Oracle Primavera Cloud environment and export Primavera Cloud projects for use in Microsoft Project. An integration connection to Microsoft Project is required for importing or exporting Microsoft Project data.

During the import process, you have the option to create a new project using the data in the Microsoft Project XML, update an existing project, or automatically detect which action to take based on the XML filename. Imported data includes project configuration and setting data associated with the project, such as activities, calendars, relationships, resource assignments, and WBS. Microsoft Project external dependencies are not imported by Primavera Cloud.

During the export process, you can select a project from the workspace where you chose to export. The full list of data imported or exported between Primavera Cloud and Microsoft Project can be reviewed in the Microsoft Project Default Business Flow Reference (Oracle Primavera Cloud Help only).

To run the import process, you must have the required workspace security privileges to import and add new projects, and the required project security privilege to edit projects. To export a project from the application, you must have the Export Projects global security privilege enabled.

When the import process is complete, you can review the integration details on the Manage Services page. When the export process completes, you can download the Microsoft Project XML file that is generated from the system notification.

Only one project can be imported at a time.
