P6 Professional Standalone uses a P6 Pro Standalone (SQLite) database connection running on a SQLite database. A standalone implementation supports all of the Project Management functionality of P6 Professional except for the following:
- Update baseline
- Job Services – Jobs cannot be scheduled. However, the user can use the Windows scheduler to invoke the command-line interface to import, export, and run batch reports.
- Risk Analysis
- Any existing Java-based integration components developed by the customer using the P6 Remote Integration API (RMI) is not supported with a SQLite database.
- Advanced XML import options
Note: If you choose to continue to use Oracle XE database, the features listed above are retained.
Additionally, P6 Professional Standalone is single-user implementation. The only user in a P6 Professional Standalone implementation is an Admin Superuser. As a single-user implementation, any features intended for use in a multiple-user implementation are not available in P6 Professional Standalone, including:
- User administration
- Security profiles
- Project access (all projects are opened in shared mode)
- Checking out and checking in projects
- Saving or importing layouts for all users or other users
If you need a project management solution for multiple users, see the following documents to install an enterprise-wide solution:
