As you’d likely expect, P6-Reporter (previously EP-datawarehouse) delivers you data in tables that represent your common P6 items: Projects, Activities, Resource Assignments, and Resources. There’s a lot you can do with these, but to create great reports, you’ll often want to manipulate these tables too:
More charts. More insight. Understand your projects in ready to use, customizable reports in Power BI, Tableau or ODV.

More charts. More insight. Understand your projects in ready to use, customizable reports in Power BI, Tableau or ODV.
New charts for resource allocation - see at a glance which resources are overallocated, then select a resource to see which dates are affected, which projects are using it, and how much float you have in each.
Gantt charts - select a resource and view how it is allocated across a series of projects.
Milestone Trending - see any of your milestones across your portfolio: where they're planned to be, where they are now, and if they're behind, how quickly you can expect to get caught up.
Green-ups are now expandable. Want to know the percent completion for each activity in a category and not just the category itself? Now you can.
More trending! Is your project headed in the right direction? Perhaps you've had a major setback and are getting caught-up, or perhaps you're falling steadily behind. Looking at current numbers only tells half the story. P6-Reporter reports are the only way to see where your Primavera P6 projects have been so that you can tell where they are going. In here you'll find trending information for all costs, finish date and duration variances, as well as CPI and SPI over the course of your project.
PCM-Archiver version 6.1 gives you better control than ever over the archived file and folder names.
December 20, 2021
PCM-Archiver version 6.1 gives you better control than ever over the archived file and folder names.
The date format used in file and folder names is now configurable.
Naming rule overrides can now be defined in a separate file, making it easier to keep track of which rules have been customized and which are the defaults.
More specific naming rules always take precedence over less specific rules, allowing naming rules to be defined in any order.
Attachments with illegal characters in the file name can now be downloaded with PCM-Archiver. They will be renamed automatically.
When using force the regeneration check box with incremental extraction, the whole document type will be re-extracted, making it easier to deal with changes to naming rules.
The out-of-the-box naming rules for drawings have been improved so that the drawing title is included in the file and folder names.
Additional checks included in progressive and incremental extraction modes to ensure that PCM-Archiver does not make any changes to files outside of the archive location that it controls.

Safran Risk has released v21. Read about all the exciting new features.
Correlation of Activity uncertainty - It’s now possible to correlate the impacts of activity uncertainties in the correlation matrix.
New Cost Module Functionality - Risks can now be mapped to cost elements at the summary level. Allowed for any number of fields instead of just Base and Quantity via the new “Input Fields” functionality. Multiple different groupings can now be applied to the same cost model.
New Import of External Files - The import of external files has been completely re-written. It will import files from P6 (.xer and .xml) and Microsoft Project (.xml and .mpp).
Switch databases without having to re-start Safran Risk - It’s now possible to switch databases without restarting Safran Risk. The database connections can be saved.
Probabilistic Branching has been added. This allows the model to turn on/off branches during the risk analysis. Functionality has also been added to the scripting to make this easier via a script.
PCM-Archiver version 6 allows you to save even more time when resuming previously-interrupted extractions.
November 30, 2021
PCM-Archiver version 6 allows you to save even more time when resuming previously-interrupted extractions.
Incremental extraction - There's no longer any need to re-extract documents that were previously successfully extracted when an extraction is interrupted partway through a document type, for example because it was cancelled or aborted due to error.
Document types are listed by name in the web interface instead of by acronym, which makes it easy to find the ones you are interested in.
Improved naming rules and behaviour now ensure that each document will be written into a unique folder.

Better logging
In P6 we sometimes discover data anomalies that do not make sense and need to find out what happened. Emerald’s P6-Auditor tool provides an easy and quick way to investigate these anomalies. The P6-Auditor reads the data in the P6 audit tables in a spreadsheet format, making these tables much more legible and searchable.
Let’s take a look at how to go about finding what has happened to an activity code that is no longer in our project that once contained values for the activity code.
