Configuring Database Instance Settings for On-Premises

You will use the database instance settings to specify information about your database, such as name, description, and schema.

To set your database instance settings:

  1. Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
  2. In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
  3. In the sidebar select Database/Instance[n].
    1. In the Name field, enter the name of this database instance.

      Notes:

      • This determines how the database instance name will appear on the P6 login page.
      • The name can be a maximum of 32 characters.
    2. In the Description field, enter a description of this database instance.

      Note: The description can be a maximum of 128 characters.

    3. In the Public Group ID field, enter the database group ID of the privileged user account that will access the database.

      The default value is 1.

    4. In the User Name field, enter the name used to establish a connection to the database.

      The default value is pubuser, but if you created a custom Public User name, you must use your custom name.

    5. In the Password field, enter the Public User password used to establish a connection to the database.
    6. In the Auto Start Services field, select true to automatically start all services for this database when the application server starts. When this is true, all job services with a Concurrent Threads setting greater than zero will start when the application server starts.

      Set to true if you will use the Summarize or Apply Actuals features in P6 Professional.

      If set to false, you must manually log in to the application before the services will start.

      Note: If you set Auto Start Services to false, job services will not start until someone logs in to the application for the first time.
