To continue installing the Oracle Database and load application data:
- On the Primavera Database Setup Wizard screen, click Next.
- On the Create Oracle Users screen, specify the Oracle Database administrative, privileged, public, and background user names and passwords.
Caution: Use a unique name for all your user names; do not use duplicate names. Repeating user names will cause conflicts.
Notes:
- P6 EPPM does not support passwords with multi-byte characters.
- Oracle recommends using strong passwords. Strong passwords in P6 EPPM contain between 8 and 20 characters and at least one numeric and one alpha character. To further strengthen the password, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
- Do not use special characters in the database name, privileged user, or public user name, for example: { } [ ] : ; < > , . ? ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ | / \ ~
- On the Configuration Options screen:
- In the Application User section, enter the P6 Professional application administrative user name and password. By default, the application administrative user will be granted Admin Superuser access rights.
Note: Oracle recommends using strong passwords. Strong passwords in P6 EPPM contain between 8 and 20 characters and at least one numeric and one alpha character. To further strengthen the password, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
- Select the Load sample data option if you want to include sample project data in a non-production database. If you do not select the Load sample data option, empty data is loaded in a secure state and includes only the most basic information needed to run the P6 Professional database.
Caution: You must choose the base currency if you do not want the database to use US dollars ($) as the base currency. You cannot change the base currency once projects are in progress.
- If you want to use a currency other than US Dollars as the base currency for the database, select a different base currency in the Currency field.
- Click Install to start the process of loading the database tables with application data.
- In the Application User section, enter the P6 Professional application administrative user name and password. By default, the application administrative user will be granted Admin Superuser access rights.
- On the Finish screen, click Finish to exit the wizard.
Notes:
- If the database creation fails, see PrimaveraDatabaseSetup.log located in the user home directory (for example, C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator). Contact Oracle Global Customer Support if you need further assistance.
- When the installation successfully completes, delete the installation log: DatabaseSetup.log. You can find this under C:\Documents and Settings. The folder name will depend on what you setup during installation.
Once the application data is installed you can begin to install and configure the client module.
