The Primavera Database Configuration wizard lets you create a new configuration or switch to a different configuration than the one specified during P6 EPPM Web Services installation.
The database you connect to during the installation stores one or more P6 EPPM Web Services configurations. Each configuration specifies a set of configurable parameters that determine how P6 EPPM Web Services operates. The first time you install P6 EPPM Web Services, if no configuration exists in the database, you must create a new configuration. For subsequent installs, you can select an existing configuration or create a new one. After configuration, you can use the Database Configuration wizard to select a different P6 EPPM Web Services configuration or create a new one.
Note: After selecting a different P6 EPPM Web Services configuration or creating a new configuration, you must stop and restart the server for the changes to take effect.
