How to export project? (with the tasks included)

[mitzaka]

Hi SNC,

Is there a valid option to export a project with the tasks and relationships, so that you can import it later on.

Only option I see is export to XML, but it only exports the base info about the top project task.

i knew a implementation where we had catalog item and user would attach xml or excel to that ... after submission, the data sources are triggered via scripting which take care of the import action .....

you might look into this for scripting reference .. basically the model was based on this excluding the mid server part

Dimitar Dimitrov - Project templates are coming! Many people have built them today by marking a set of projects as a new status of "template" or a template "flag" and then using those flagged projects as templates with either a "copy" functionality or by "inserting partial project" but using the whole template.

or goto ui action and refer 'Export Workflow' button .. it uses the same principle .....

Can you just create one big header task in the project schedule you want to copy & copy the header task #, then go into the project you want the tasks imported for, right-click on the header and select 'copy partial project' and paste the task#?

That would work if you want to copy / paste project from one instance into the same instance. However, my case is to export a project from one instance (say Dev) and import the same project along with all the sub tasks and relationships into another instance (say Prod).
