Managing the number of tasks supported in the Resource Constraints view

The Resource Constraints view supports a maximum number of task work orders in a project. If this number is exceeded, the Resource Constraints view is disabled, along with the CPM resource constraints analysis. The default maximum number of tasks that are supported is 100. You can modify this maximum number by editing the pmgui.scheduler.constraints.maxrecords system property.

About this task

If the maximum number of tasks is exceeded, only the Resource Constraints view and the CPM analysis functions are disabled. Other functions in the Graphical Scheduling application operate normally. The maximum number of tasks is included to prevent the Graphical Scheduling application from hanging because of the time needed to process a large number of tasks for resource constraint violations.

To specify a value other than the default of 100 for this property, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Click Go To > System Configuration > Platform Configuration > System Properties to open the System Properties application.
  2. Click Filter, type pmgui in the Property Name field, and press Enter to display a list that contains the pmgui.scheduler.constraints.maxrecords system property.
  3. Click pmgui.scheduler.constraints.maxrecords to open the property, type a different number in the Global Value field, and click Save to save the property.
  4. Select the pmgui.scheduler.constraints.maxrecords property row.
  5. Select the Live Refresh action.
  6. In the dialog, verify that the property that you changed is listed, and click OK.
