Creating a New Primavera P6 Administrator Configuration

To create a Primavera P6 Administrator configuration:

Do one of the following:
- On Windows platforms, run dbconfigpv.cmd (located in the p6home directory that you specified when installing P6).
- On UNIX platforms, change to the p6home directory that you specified when installing P6, and run dbconfigpv.sh.
On the Setup and Configuration of the Primavera P6 Database dialog box, select the database type.
On the Please enter the following information... dialog box:
1. Specify the database connection parameters. Type your database user name and password, the database name, host address, and host port. The database name, host address, and host port are specific to your database installation. The Database Host Port field displays the default port for the database type you selected. You can edit this port.
2. To use the SSL protocol to securely communicate between the P6 application server and the database server, select the SSL option. If you select the SSL option, you must specify an SSL-enabled port number in the Database Host Port field.
  Notes:
  - See the appropriate database server documentation and the My Oracle Support's Knowledge Articles for information on configuring SSL.
  - Using the SSL protocol will impact database performance.
3. Ensure that the Public Group ID is 1 for a standard configuration.
Select Create a new configuration and then enter the name of your new configuration (for example, Team Member Configuration).
Click Next.
Click OK.
