Progress Reporter Help site location

The URL used to launch P6 Progress Reporter Help. Points to the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). OTN houses Oracle's most up-to-date documentation. If there are any changes to P6 Progress Reporter functionality, those changes will be represented in the help documentation on OTN.

Note: You can use OTN only if P6 Progress Reporter can access the internet. If it cannot access the internet, you must use the local version described below.

Local Host Option

If you prefer to use the local version of the P6 Progress Reporter Help, you can use the local host URL. You can use the local help only if you deployed the pr-help.war file in WebLogic or WebSphere. See the P6 Progress Reporter Configuration Guide for more information.

Use the following URL structure for the help site location setting: http://serverIP:port/ContextRoot/

where ContextRoot is pr-help by default.

Examples:

WebLogic: http://serverIP:7001/pr-help

WebLogic: http://serverIP:8204/pr-help (if you used the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard)

WebSphere: http://serverIP:9080/pr-help
