Issue/Introduction

How do we add ETC hours to an assignment using XOG?

Environment

Release: All PPM Releases

Component: CA PPM XML OPEN GATEWAY (XOG)

Resolution

You can only XOG in ETC by using the curve segments.

 

See below an example:

Under assignments in the task labor section, you need to specify the ETC segments,

   ..............
               <Assignments>
                         <TaskLabor start="2007-09-04T08:00:00"
                                         finish="2007-09-29T17:00:00"
                                         resourceID="res1">
                             <EstCurve>
                                 <Segment start="2007-09-04T08:00:00"
                                               finish="2007-09-29T17:00:00"
                                               sum="100.0"/>
                             </EstCurve>
                         </TaskLabor>
                     </Assignments>
 
 ....................

NOTE:If the assignment already has Actuals and the loading pattern is Uniform, the Actual Thru date must be included in the Assignment properties in the XML for the ETC's to update. 
It is also recommended to make sure there is a Loading Pattern in the XOG file if there is not a default Loading Pattern set on the Assignment Object Attribute.
Normally the Loading Pattern default is set under Admin / Project Management / Settings, but if you XOG in a resource without a loading pattern it could end up with that field not getting populated
