This topic lists the issues that have been addressed in the Asta Powerproject version 16.0.02.253 fast track release.

Issue 33259
Category General
Summary Unable to open, create or save projects on network drives when using Asta Powerproject with Windows RemoteApp.
Description Since the release of Asta Powerproject version 16, customers using certain configurations of file redirection have been unable to open, create or save projects when using Asta Powerproject with Windows RemoteApp.
Resolution

This issue was caused by the Windows API method ReplaceFile failing when Asta Powerproject was used with Windows RemoteApp. To resolve this issue, it is now possible to turn off SQLite Network File Handling by editing the Windows Registry. You should do this only if you experience problems opening, creating or saving projects when using Asta Powerproject with Windows RemoteApp.

 

If you experience these problems, please contact Elecosoft Technical Support for details of how to turn off SQLite Network File Handing.

 

Issue 33363
Category Import and export
Summary Unable to export projects directly to Primavera Cloud.
Description Before this release, if you wanted to open an Asta Powerproject project in Primavera Cloud, you had to export it in XML format and open it in Primavera P6, then export it from Primavera P6 in a format that can be opened in Primavera Cloud. Customers requested the ability to export projects directly to Primavera Cloud.
Resolution You can now export Asta Powerproject projects in a format in which they can be opened in Primavera Cloud, by choosing to export the project in XML format and selecting the Oracle Primavera Cloud check box that has been added to the Primavera XML & XER Export Options dialog.
