Running Database Configuration After Installation

If you selected the Run Database Configuration option during installation, the Database Configuration wizard launches automatically after P6 Professional installation is complete. Use Database Configuration to create a database connection for P6 Professional and Job Services.

You can also run Database Configuration manually at any time. See Running Database Configuration Manually for details.

Note: To change database connection settings, the Database Configuration wizard must access the PrmBootStrapV2.xml file. This file is located in <local drive>\%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.

To run Database Configuration after installation, complete the following steps:

1. On the Select Driver Type dialog box, in the P6 Professional driver type field, select Oracle.
2. Click Next.
3. On the Configure ORACLE Connection dialog box, in the Oracle Connection String field, enter the Oracle EZCONNECT string in the format, //<server name>:<listen port>/<service name>. If using the TNSNAMES file, enter the Oracle Database name.

   Note: The two leading slashes are mandatory for API applications like Update Baseline, XML Export/import, and Schedule Comparison.

4. On the Enter Public Login Information dialog box, enter your public login information that was defined by your administrator.
5. On the Validate Database Connection dialog box, review the settings and click Next to test the database connection.
6. If the connection is successful, click Finish.

   If the connection is not successful, click Back and revise the database information.
