About Automatically Upgrading and Configuring P6 EPPM

Contents

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

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

Notes:

• For Releases 8.3.2 and above, before installing P6 EPPM, run the script, manual_script_before_upgrade.sql located in the p6suite\database\scripts\install\PM_08_03_00 folder of the physical media to minimize the configuration change on the Oracle database server.
• You should upgrade all your applications to the latest version to ensure they work together.

• P6 (and its help, tutorials, and Oracle Configuration Management (OCM))
• P6 Progress Reporter (and its help)
• P6 Team Member (includes P6 Team Member Web, P6 Team Member for iOS, P6 Team Member for Android, E-mail Statusing Service)
• P6 Professional Cloud Connect
• P6 EPPM Web Services
• P6 Integration API

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

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

• Upgrade an Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database
• Configure 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 Webcenter Content Core Capabilities, CMIS, or Microsoft SharePoint)
• BI Publisher
• BPM 11g

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