Installing Job Service and Distributed Job Service Only

To install Job Service and Distributed Job Service only:

1. Download and extract the media zip file locally to the client computer.
2. In the extracted media zip file, in the Client_Applications folder, double-click setup.exe to launch the installation wizard.

   Note: Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Installer, and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) are required to run P6 Professional. If they are not installed, follow the prompts to install them and then restart your computer as needed. Allow setup.exe to run when your computer restarts and follow the prompts to complete installation of the required components.

3. Select the Advanced option.
4. Click OK.
5. Deselect the Primavera P6 Professional option.
6. Expand Primavera P6 Professional (x64), P6 Professional Common Components, Tools for P6 Professional Database (Only).
7. Select the Job Service option.

   Notes:

   • If you want to run Job Service jobs in a language other than English, you must install P6 Professional on the Job Service computer. You can install it along with the Job Service, or you can install it at another time.
   • Job Services is available only with 64-bit P6 Professional.
   • If the Job Service Windows Service is to be run by a user other than the user that installed the software, the PrmBootStrapV2.xml file must be present in the other user's profile. The default location of PrmBootStrap.xml is \%PROGRAMDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.
8. Click Next
9. Click Install.
10. Click OK to automatically run Database Configuration immediately after installation. See Running Database Configuration After Installation for details.

    Note: You do not need to run Database Configuration immediately after installation, however you do need to run it before you can use P6 Professional. You can run Database Configuration manually at any time. See Running Database Configuration Manually for details.

After running Database Configuration, you are prompted to test the Job Service alias. Click Yes to test the database connection. If the test fails, you can still continue the installation.

Caution: If you are installing on a SERVER machine in a Distributed Job Services environment, DO NOT test the Job Service alias.

Once the Job Service is installed on your computer and it is able to successfully connect to the database, the service periodically runs any user-defined jobs that are scheduled in P6 Professional. If you are using Windows 2008 Server, refer to required configuration instructions below.
