The alert notification service controls how often the P6 database checks for alerts.
To set your alert notification service settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Alert Notification Service.
- In the Refresh Rate field, enter the rate to refresh alerts.
The default value is 30s.
Enter a value between 15s and 15m.
Note: If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you enter a longer rate, the server will run more efficiently, but the data may be out of date. If you enter a shorter time, the data will be up to date, but the server may not run as efficiently.
