After installing Primavera Portfolio Management:
- Connect all the servers in the distributed setup to the installed PPM database in the following order:
- Multiple Primavera Portfolio Management Front-End servers
- The single Primavera Primary Back-End server
- Multiple Primavera Portfolio Management Secondary Back-End servers
For detailed instructions on how to connect to the database, refer to Installing the PPM Database.
- Notes:
- To change databases, you will need to run and configure the Primavera Portfolio Management Console on all servers individually.
- If a new PPM database is created, the actual database creation will be performed from the first Primavera Portfolio Management Front-End server on which the Console is run. All other servers will then need to be connected to the new PPM database using the Console.
- Configure the SMTP Server Smart Host on each server.
For more details, see Configuring the SMTP Mail Server for Primavera Portfolio Management.
- To verify the installation, see Verifying the Installation.
For the Primavera Portfolio Management URL, enter the Full Internet Name of the NLB cluster that was specified while Installing and Configuring a NLB Cluster. This ensures connecting to the cluster instead of a particular server in the cluster. When connected to the cluster, it will forward requests to the server that is least busy.
If the DNS system of the domain was not configured to resolve the NLB cluster name, you must use the IP address of the cluster instead.
- Configure Propose.
- Configure the Bridge for Project Management System.
