After installation, you have to make some settings, adjust parameters, or create files in PLANTA project.
If you have any questions, please contact your PLANTA consultant.
Administrator First Log-In
Information
After the PLANTA system has been installed, the administrator can log on using user P20, which is delivered with the PLANTA software, and make the adjustments described below: In order to log yourself on with user P20, you need a password which can be inquired from the responsible PLANTA consultant.
In the course of the master data entry, the administrator must create further PLANTA system users and generate login data for all PLANTA system users as well as for him/herself, which will be used for later logins.
Collect Master Data
Information
In order to enable working with the PLANTA software, persons, users and project master data like, e.g., resources, calendars, cost centers, etc. must be recorded in the PLANTA system. Further Information
Global Settings
Information
Global settings are parameters which control or enable the use of particular functions and throughout the system (globally). They are edited in the Global Settings module. After installation, the special parameters listed in the description are to be checked and their standard setting is to be modified if necessary.
Model Parameters
Information
Model parameters define the planning model of a project. Depending on how these model parameters are set and combined, they generate different planning models and the results of project schedule calculations may therefore vary.
Set Limits for Database Queries per Global Variable
Information
The following global variables must be checked and possibly adjusted in the global variables module after installation of PLANTA.
@G80109 and @G80110: These global variables determine the limit of database queries.
If the amount of found records is greater than the amount specified in @G80110, the query is always canceled (with a message).
If the amount is greater than the amount specified in @G80109, the user is asked whether the query is to be canceled.
Default values are 50000 for @G80109 and 100000 @G80110 - these values can temporarily be changed by the Python code within a session.
These values must be adjusted to the needs of the respective application. Further information on the interface can be found here.
If these variables are set to the value 0 or a value smaller than 0, the respective functionality is deactivated. I.e., database queries with result sets of any size are permitted.
