Are you tired of encountering the "import file is invalid" error while trying to import files into Primavera P6? In this informative video, we at Softedemy, your go-to destination for engineering software insights, will guide you on how to resolve this frustrating issue.
Sometimes, when importing files into Primavera P6, you may come across an error message stating that the import file is invalid. This error is not related to the version of Primavera P6 you are using but rather a compatibility issue with the file itself.
In this video, we will focus specifically on the "import file is invalid" error and provide you with a practical solution. Let's dive into an example to illustrate the problem. When attempting to import a file, such as the "recovery schedule," you might encounter the dreaded error message: "the import file is invalid." Unlike version-related errors, this error indicates a problem with the file itself, not the version of Primavera P6 you're using.
To demonstrate the resolution process, we'll show you a step-by-step solution. First, we'll create a new project with the same name as the problematic file. Next, we'll export the newly created project as an XER file. You can import this file into any version of Primavera P6. After saving the file to your desktop, open it with a text editor such as Notepad.
Now, here's the crucial part: copy the data from your exported file, including everything from "OBS" onwards. Replace the contents of the original problematic file with the copied data. Save the file, and you'll notice the file size has increased. Cancel the import process, return to Primavera P6, and import the modified file. The file size will match the size of the exported file.
By following this method, you can successfully import the project without encountering the "import file is invalid" error. The problem has been resolved, allowing you to access and work with the project data seamlessly.
