Configuring OCM Settings

Contents

To configure the OCM settings:

1. Open the P6 Administrator application.
2. In the Configurations tab, expand your configuration.
3. Expand Services/Configuration Management.
   1. In the Configuration Capture Enabled field, choose true to allow P6 to collect configuration settings at the collection time. Choose false if you don't want to allow this option.
   2. In the Automatic Capture Time field, choose the time to capture the settings. Note you should set the collection time in OCM (Oracle Configuration Management) to occur at least a few minutes after this capture time.

      The default is 12 AM.

      Note: To manually capture P6 configuration information, launch the P6 Administrator application remotely through a browser. Right-click the /Services/Configuration Management node, and choose "Capture Configuration." Go to a command prompt, and change your directory to the following location: OCM home\ccr\bin\
      Execute the following command: emCCR collect

4. Set a collection time on the OCM server to capture P6 information automatically, as specified in Configuring the OCM File. The OCM collection time should be after the P6 EPPM capture time.

   To set the collection time:

   1. Open a command prompt and change your directory to the following location: OCM home\ccr\bin\
   2. Execute the following command (as all one line):

      emCCR set collection_interval="FREQ=interval;
BYHOUR=military hour;BYMINUTE=minute"

      For example,
      emCCR set collection_interval="FREQ=DAILY;
BYHOUR=18;BYMINUTE=20"

   3. To check that you set the collection time properly, go to a command prompt and change your directory to the following location: OCM home\ccr\bin\

      Execute the following command:

      • On Windows: emCCR.bat status
      • On Unix: ./emccr status
5. Restart the P6 application server.
