Selecting P6 Projects for CIC Analytics for the First Time

When you receive the welcome message from Oracle, an initial ETL has already been processed with all published P6 projects loaded into CIC Analytics. Therefore, work with the key stakeholders in your organization to identify:

projects that need to be removed from CIC Analytics
projects that need to be visible in CIC Analytics

For example, your organization has 35 ongoing projects. The initial load will include all 35 projects in CIC Analytics. However, your organization may want to draw insights for only the top 10 high priority projects. Therefore you will need to remove the remaining projects from being loaded to CIC Analytics.

To remove P6 projects from being selected for CIC Analytics:

Sign into P6 as a user.
http://<host>:<port>/p6/action/login

Note: Ensure you have the following security privileges: Edit Project Details Excepts Costs/Financials project security privilege, Add/Edit/Delete Global Activity and Assignment Layouts, Views and Filters global security privilege.
Click Projects.
On the Projects navigation bar, click EPS.
On the EPS page:
1. Click the Views list and select a view.
2. In the EPS / Project Grid, deselect the Enable Publication option to remove each project from CIC Analytics.
  Note: If your organization is a customer of CIC Advisor also, then any P6 projects deselected for CIC Advisor will also not be available for CIC Analytics.
Run publication services in P6 EPPM to publish only the selected projects to P6 Extended Schema for an ETL upload to CIC Analytics.
For more details, see Enabling Automatic Publishing of P6 Project Data or Manually Publishing P6 Project Data.
