Running the Standalone Upgrade Utility

Use the Standalone Upgrade Utility to upgrade the schema for an existing P6 Professional database with Oracle XE or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3.

If you selected the Run Standalone Upgrade Utility option during installation, the Standalone Upgrade Utility launches automatically after P6 Professional installation is complete. You can also run it manually at any time.

To run the Standalone Upgrade Utility, complete the following steps:

1. If Standalone Upgrade Utility does not launch automatically, click Start, All Programs, Oracle - Primavera P6, P6 Professional <release level>, P6 Professional <release level> Help and Tools, P6 Professional Standalone Upgrade Utility.
2. Click Next.
3. With Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3 only, in the User field, enter the user name for the database. Otherwise, skip this step.
4. In the Password field, enter the password for the database.
5. Click Next.
6. After your credentials are verified, click Next.
7. Click Finish.

After running the Standalone Upgrade Utility, you can optionally migrate your existing P6 Professional database to SQLite. See Running the Standalone Database Migration Tool for details.
