- You can request that beta features be enabled in your production environment by entering a support ticket (some beta features not initially available in production, Planview will advise). Please note that any issues you find will be handled during the normal development cycle.
- Planview sends out status emails in advance of planned and non-planned releases/updates/incidents. These alerts include the date and time window of the releases/updates/incident, as well as a link to the release notes that include a list of the issues addressed in the releases/updates/incident. To subscribe to these alerts, please go to https://status.planview.com/ and click the Subscribe button.
- Inner circles are offered as a way for our interested customers to collaborate with PPM Pro Product Management and each other, provide feedback on PPM Pro product capabilities, and guide new feature development. Click here for more information or to register.
Action Required
In preparation for the switch to the new notification service, please ask your internal IT helpdesk to safelist these domains: @pvnotifications.com or *pvnotifications.com. Safelisting both domains ensures that your notifications will not be blocked by your email spam blockers when the new notification services is launched.
Action Required
Starting with the February 2023 release, PPM Pro will stop accepting requests that use a direct server endpoint in WSAPI endpoints in order to ensure data integrity. This change affects customers doing custom WSAPI integrations that are not managed by Planview.
Please verify that your integration is using one of the following endpoints to ensure your integration is not interrupted (be sure to replace "myCompany" with your DNS subdomain name):
<wsdl:port name="MainServiceHttpsSoap11Endpoint" binding="ns:MainServiceSoap11Binding">
<soap:address location="https://myCompany.ppmpro.com/
services/MainService.MainServiceHttpsSoap11Endpoint/"/>
</wsdl:port>
<wsdl:port name="MainServiceHttpsSoap12Endpoint" binding="ns:MainServiceSoap12Binding">
<soap12:address location="https://myCompany.ppmpro.com/
services/MainService.MainServiceHttpsSoap12Endpoint/"/>
</wsdl:port>
Note that sandboxes and production environments will have different subdomains (e.g. mycompany.ppmpro.com and mycompany-sb.ppmpro.com).
No change is required if your integration was custom built by Planview or is being managed by Planview.
Starting in January 2023, the option to Import/Export from MSP will be renamed to Import/Export from XML. We encourage users that need to import data from Microsoft Project to import XML files instead of MSP files. Doing so will prevent issues that can arise from differences between MSP files from the online and desktop versions of Microsoft Project.
