About Installing and Configuring P6 EPPM

Contents

This guide tells you how to automatically install and configure your applications. Before you begin, read through the Prerequisites for P6 EPPM Configuration.

You will use the setup.exe in the Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management physical media or download to install the following P6 EPPM applications:

Note: You do not have to install all applications; you can pick and choose what you install. However, you must install P6 to run the other P6 EPPM applications.

• P6 (and its help, tutorials, and Oracle Configuration Management (OCM))
• P6 Progress Reporter (and its help)
• P6 Team Member Interfaces (includes P6 Team Member Web, P6 Team Member for iOS, P6 Team Member for Android, and E-mail Statusing Service)

  Notes:

  • You will need to configure E-mail Statusing Service separately. See the P6 EPPM Post Installation Administrator's Guide.
  • P6 Team Member for iOS supports SSL (https) or HTTP only when it has a certificate signed by a trusted authority.
  • P6 Team Member for Android requires SSL (https) when you are not using SSO authentication. If you are using SSO authentication, you can use HTTP or HTTPs protocols. HTTPS requires a valid certificate from an Android trusted certifying authority.
• P6 Professional Cloud Connect

  For Release 8.3.2 and above, select the P6 Professional Cloud Connect install option if you plan to use P6 Professional with an EPPM Oracle database by connecting to a remote service. The wizard sets up a remote method of access to connect to the EPPM database and the P6 APIs. For more details on establishing the P6 Professional Cloud Connect database connection in P6 Professional, see the P6 Professional for EPPM Installation and Configuration guide.

  Notes:

  • When you choose to install P6 Professional Cloud Connect, the wizard will also install P6 Integration API (in remote mode) by default.
  • P6 Professional Cloud Connect does not apply to Microsoft SQL Server database users.
  • You cannot use LDAP with Cloud Connect.
• P6 Integration API

  Note: The wizard installs the remote P6 Integration API. If you want to use the local-mode P6 Integration API, see the P6 Integration API Configuration Guide.

• P6 EPPM Web Services

Once you have installed your applications, you will use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to configure:

• An Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database
• A WebLogic domain

  Note: If you are using WebSphere, you can still use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to install or upgrade your database and connect BPM, BI Publisher, and the content repository to P6 EPPM; however, you must manually deploy your P6 EPPM applications in WebSphere. The wizard will not deploy the P6 EPPM applications into WebSphere.

If you installed the following applications, you can use the wizard to connect them to P6 EPPM:

• A content repository (Oracle Universal Content Management 10g, Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities (WCCC) 11g, Microsoft SharePoint, CMIS-compliant repositories)
• BI Publisher
• BPM 11g

Once you have configured your applications, you can begin using all of your applications.
