Convert Microsoft Project MPP to MPX: A Simple Guide

Are you struggling to convert your Microsoft Project (MPP) files to Primavera Xer files? Look no further! With this tool, you can easily convert MPP to MPX and import your projects into Primavera. In this article, we will guide you through the process of converting MPP to MPX and provide some additional tips for working with Primavera.

Why Convert MPP to MPX?

Primavera allows users to import files in the MPX format, but Microsoft Project saves files as MPP. To read an MPP file using an older version of Microsoft Project or another project planning application, you must convert it to the MPX format, which is a generic, format-free version of an MPP file.

1. Download and extract the Primavera P6 Administration Tool.

2. Open the folder and find the runP6AdminTool.cmd file.

3. Double-click the file to start the tool.

Using the Primavera P6 Administration Tool

The Primavera P6 Administration Tool is a powerful utility that allows you to perform most P6 EPPM administration tasks from your PC, as long as you have Java and the Primavera P6 API installed. You don't need to deploy a Weblogic Server for small firms or users who want to run P6 EPPM without the complexity of running a Weblogic Application Server.
