DACS requires an Oracle NET-compatible client that supports sqlnet.ora and can successfully operate using Oracle Network Data Encryption and Integrity transport encryption, for example Oracle Client. For information on how to download and install Oracle Client, see: How to Install the Oracle Client for Use with Primavera P6 (Doc ID 986674.1).
The Oracle Cloud team will work with your IT organization to establish a site-to-site VPN tunnel. You should involve whoever is responsible for setting up the VPN in your corporate IT team from the start of the process.
Completing the VPN Partner Implementation Form
Your network engineer must complete the Partner’s IPSec Configuration Information section of the VPN Partner Implementation Form which you received as part of the Cloud Services provisioning process.
For Primavera DACS, you need only complete the following parts of the form:
Company Name, Address, and City, State, Zip fields: Provide the main company address for your country.
Technical Contacts, e-mail address, and Phone fields: Provide the details for any network and IT specialists who will be involved in the process of configuring the DACS connection.
Encryption Domain, Subnet Mask, IPSec/Firewall Vendor and IPSec/Firewall Version: Provide your public IP address and subnet mask from which your DACS connection will originate and information about your firewall. You must provide only one IP address. If you need further connections to DACS, your network engineer can configure Network Address Translation (NAT) to allow other IP addresses to connect via your public IP address.
IPSec Peer IP Address: Your network engineer will find this information in the appropriate crypto map for the VPN tunnel to Oracle.
Return the form to your Oracle Customer Success Manager (CSM) indicating whether you need access to your production environment, your stage environment, or both your production and stage environments.
After the connection is set up, Oracle will ask your network engineer to provide a public shared key to complete the VPN connection process. Oracle will then provide you with database connection information to allow you to connect to your P6 EPPM and Unifier databases.
