To install P6 Professional, the Administrator or an account in the local Administrators group must log in to the Terminal Server.
Prerequisites
Install Oracle or SQL Server Client drivers as appropriate on the Windows Terminal Servers as described in their respective docs.
With Oracle database, confirm the Create Global Objects Windows Security Policy is set up on the Terminal Servers and add the domain Users or Groups of the end-users who will be accessing the published application. If the local security policy is not set up, complete the following steps to add the policy:
- Click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
- Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignments.
- In the right pane, double-click Create Global Objects.
- In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.
- In the Select Users or Group dialog box, select the user group that these end users are a part of, click Add, and then click OK.
- Click OK.
With Oracle database, the Oracle client software also requires that you give the Authenticated User Group, Read and Execute privilege to the Oracle Home Directory and ALL its subdirectories and files on the Terminal Servers.
Installation Steps
- Run the P6 Professional setup.
Note: Terminal Services automatically runs setup in Terminal Services install mode.
- Install P6 Professional.
- When setup completes, click the Finish dialog to the Terminal Services install mode.
- After configuring database connections as described in the installation documentation, Deploy PrmBootStrapV2.xml from the
%APPDATA%folder to the<P6 Professional Install Directory>\Datafolder.Note: This will ensure that users who launch P6 for the first time will inherit the PrmBootStrapV2.xml file with existing database configurations
- Increment the DeploymentVersion in the default version of PrmBootstrap.xml.
For example, increment the deployment version from 0 to 1:
<BootStrap MajorVersion="8" MinorVersion="2" PatchVersion="0" DeploymentVersion="1"Notes:
- This will force a new deployment of the PrmBootstrapV2.xml file to users who have an existing PrmBootstrapV2.xml. If the deployment version is not incremented and a user already has a PrmBootstrap.xml file in their local profile, P6 Professional will use that user's existing file rather than a newly deployed copy.
- Never change MajorVersion or MinorVersion.
- The default location for PRMBootStrapV2.xml is
<P6 Professional Install Directory>\Data.
- Test the application by logging up to two users into the Terminal Server. If errors occur, contact Oracle Support for assistance.
Note: The Citrix Administrator Application can also publish the application through Citrix.
