Installation: PLANTA Hybrid
Information
- Below you will find information on the installation/configuration of PLANTA Hybrid systems (project + pulse).
- Information on how to use PLANTA Hybrid can be found on the corresponding pages in the PLANTA project/portfolio help area.
PLANTA Hybrid combines two PLANTA components: the agile PLANTA pulse component and the traditional PLANTA project component. This connection (i.e. via PLANTA Hybrid), which enables the synchronization of the data of both systems, allows you to benefit from the advantages of both agile and traditional project management for project planning and controlling.
Requirements
The following requirements apply to the use of PLANTA Hybrid:
- PLANTA project must be installed (at least DB 39.5.11). For information on the installation, see here.
- PLANTA pulse must be installed. For information on the installation, see here.
- PLANTA project and PLANTA pulse must be linked. For further information, please refer to the "Settings" chapter.
- In addition, PLANTA link must be licensed.
Settings
The following settings are required to make PLANTA hybrid (the linkage of PLANTA project and PLANTA pulse) ready for use:
- PLANTA project Server
Go to the web.conf and configure the following server parameters for the PLANTA project system which is to communicate with the pulse system:
generic_service- must be activated (true)generic_service_interface- must be configured if necessarygeneric_service_port- must be configuredssl_generic_enable- must be activated (true) if you want to run pulse on HTTPS.apikey_auth_filter_generic- must be deactivated (false) because pulse does not authenticate itself to the web interfaces.- After you have configured the parameter you have to restart the server.
- PLANTA link
- In the PLANTA pulse and PLANTA Hybrid Parameters module, store the parameters and interfaces required for hybrid use in the General Settings (pulse) and Hybrid Interfaces (pulse) areas and generate a web token for the purpose of authentication with PLANTA pulse to store it in PLANTA pulse.
- In the PLANTA standard, all required standard interfaces are already stored by default.
- Synchronize or link PLANTA project and PLANTA pulse users in the User Synchronization module.
- Since PLANTA hybrid is based on web interfaces, please also refer to Web Interface Configuration.
- In the PLANTA pulse and PLANTA Hybrid Parameters module, store the parameters and interfaces required for hybrid use in the General Settings (pulse) and Hybrid Interfaces (pulse) areas and generate a web token for the purpose of authentication with PLANTA pulse to store it in PLANTA pulse.
- PLANTA pulse
- Store the web token which was previously generated in PLANTA link under Administration panel → Settings tab → PLANTA-Hybrid menu entry in the API token area.
The following settings are particularly required for time recording in PLANTA hybrid.
- PLANTA project
- Since pulse allows multiple postings per day as well, the Time recording variant parameter must be set = 3 to enable multiple hour postings per day in PLANTA project.
- PLANTA pulse
- If you want to use extended time recording, go to the Administration panel → Settings tab → PLANTA Hybrid menu entry in the Extended Time Recording area and
- activate the Activate time recording on PLANTA project elements parameter and
- configure the Protocol (http/https), Port, and Host parameters.
- If you want to use extended time recording, go to the Administration panel → Settings tab → PLANTA Hybrid menu entry in the Extended Time Recording area and
Notes
- If you have set-up PLANTA pulse with a self-signed certificate, you have to additionally deactivate the global Activate SSL valifdation parameter.
