You can use Oracle database as a content repository with your P6 EPPM installation.
To configure the Oracle database as your content repository:

- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Database/Instance[n]/Content Repository.
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.

This option will save documents and associated information in the P6 database schema. This option is only applicable if you are using an Oracle database on-premises or an Oracle Autonomous Database.

For example:
exe,bin,sh
.exe .bin .sh
- In the Connection Maintenance Interval field enter the frequency at which the connection to the content repository is validated. The default is 10 minutes. Enter a value between 1 second and 24 days.
Note: Ensure that the Enable Cloud Storage field is set to false.
