The number of activities in this view has exceeded the administrator's limit of 5000. You can use activity filters to manage which activities in the project to display.
In the screen below I have set the number of activities to 5 for illustrative purposes:
How do we fix this? You need to change a setting in the administration application. In older versions of P6 you could only change these settings by running a java program which runs on the server itself. But in 8.2, you can do this through your web browser!
The URL you use to do this is almost the same as the URL you use to get to P6 normally. But after the "p6" part, you add "admin.jsp".
For example, if the URL that you usually use to connect to P6 is:
http://172.22.1.115:8203/p6
Then the administration URL is:
http://172.22.1.115:8203/p6/admin.jsp
This will bring up a screen as shown below:
This looks virtually identical to the java administration application, but it is much easier to get to!
By default the number of activities is limited to 5000. This is mainly a safety valve. If you are connecting over a slow internet connection it may take a long while to load over 5000 activities. Or, if your local machine does not have much memory, your web browser may be bogged down by more than 5000 activities. And so 5000 was chosen as a reasonable limit. But you can easily change this if you need to see more. The maximum value allowed currently is 100,000.
Note that after changing this setting, you must press the "Save Changes" button in the lower right corner. Then, you must also log out and log back into P6 to have the new limit in effect.
If you need to see more than this, you may want to first ask yourself why - can you really get use from seeing so many activities? Also, you can use activity filters to only see certain activities.
