Exporting settings, templates to another environment v2003

[Erkki]

Greetings.

In most project several environments (testing, POC, training, production)
are created. The question : Are there tools to transfer general settings,
security templates, views and the rest eg. from test to pilot (global
export/import ok). Has anybody a scent of these elementary tools - no reason
for doing this locally n times ?

Hi,

To which version of Microsoft Project do you refer?

I should have put the version number 2003 first in the subject...:

Hi,

Well, it's not a matter of version, I just wandered we were talking about MS
Project allright..
If you want to transfer sttings, best is to copy the file Global.mpt into
each environment.

If you know what the settings are, you can also store them via Tools,
Organizer, in a file and transfer the file such that they can locally be
re-copied into the global.

The latter method is advisable if you want the different glob files to also
have settings of their own.

Hi,

maybe I formulated my question wrong. I am concerned about Project server
general settings, security templates, views and the rest, which are not
transferred in the global.

Sorry for my quick fingers and slow thought

Hi Erkki,

In that case try posting on the server newsgroup. Please see FAQ Item: 24.

That is exactly why I asked for the version... 2003 is as such a meaningless
answer since millions of 2003 users do not use Server.
Sorry for the loss of time.
