Loading Application Data

To continue installing the SQL database and load application data:

In the Configuration Options dialog box:
1. In the Application User section, enter the application administrative user name and password. By default, the application administrative user will be granted Admin Superuser access rights.
  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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Click Install to start the process of loading the database tables with application data.
On the Primavera Database Setup Wizard dialog box, click Next after the processes have completed.
Note: 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.
Click Finish to exit the wizard.
Note: When the installation successfully completes, delete the installation log.

Once the application data is installed you can begin to install and configure the client module.

See Database Administration for information on configuring database settings to optimize performance.
