You can use Microsoft SharePoint with P6 by integrating SharePoint with your CMIS-compliant content repository and then configuring your CMIS-compliant content repository with P6.
To configure your CMIS-compliant content repository:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Database.
- Select your Instance from the drop-down list.
- Expand Content Repository.
- In the Type field, select CMIS.
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
- In the Maximum document size field, enter the maximum size in KB for documents that can be uploaded to P6. The default is 10240 KB. Enter a value between 0 and 1048576.
- In the Invalid Document Types field, enter the file extensions of documents that are not permitted in P6. A list of file extensions can be separated with either commas or spaces.
For example:
exe,bin,sh
.exe .bin .sh
- In the Login Name field, enter the user name for your content repository.
- In the Password field, enter the password for the user name you entered above.
- In the Authentication Mode field, enter authentication mode used to access the content repository server. P6 EPPM users cannot access content repository functions if you do not configure this setting.
If you choose "Multiple User", all P6 EPPM content repository-related user names must match the equivalent content repository user name. For example, a P6 EPPM user named "Joe" must have an equivalent user named "Joe" in the content repository.
If you choose "Single User", the administrative user specified in the setting above must have access to all appropriate Security Groups to browse to documents outside of the P6 EPPM home folder.
- In the Repository Name field, enter the name for your content repository.
Note: For SharePoint, enter the document library name you created for P6.
- In the Document Home field, enter the location of the folder in the document library where you want to store P6 documents.
- In the Web Service URL field, enter the URL for your web services home.
- This is Web Service Endpoint with format http://<sharepoint host>/sites/<site name>/_vti_bin/cmissoapwsdl.aspx
- Restart the P6 server.
