Adding or Editing a P6 Deployment Connection

To move data between applications, Primavera Gateway needs to know where to get and send information. Set this up by adding application deployment connections by specifying an Endpoint URL for each application.

For P6 cloud service, contact Oracle Support to:

• add one or more P6 deployments
• copy an existing P6 deployment

For on-premises installations, add or edit a P6 deployment connection as follows:

1. Enter the Primavera Gateway URL in the format:

   http://<host name>:<port>/gateway

   Where, <host name> and <port> should match those of your Primavera Gateway domain.

2. Sign in to Primavera Gateway with administration credentials.
3. In the sidebar, select Configuration.
4. Select the Deployments tab.
5. Select Add... or Edit....

   The Deployment wizard displays.

6. In the General step, select P6 from the Select Application Provider list, and name the deployment.

   Note: Select Next on each screen to advance to the next step.
