ClickOnce enables your users to install and run P6 Professional by clicking a link in a web page. You can configure ClickOnce in advance, so your users do not need to perform any configuration in order to install and run P6 Professional.
This section describes how you to configure and deploy ClickOnce with Oracle WebLogic. You have two choices to configure ClickOnce:
- Configure ClickOnce on a staging computer and then deploy it to the WebLogic server.
- Configure ClickOnce directly on the WebLogic server.
Notes:
- The instructions in this section assume you will use a staging computer.
- The staging computer must be running Windows. If the WebLogic server is installed with UNIX or Linux, you must use a staging computer.
- ClickOnce is only supported for the P6 Pro Cloud Connect driver type. If your users need to connect using a different driver type, they can still download and install from the ClickOnce page, however they will need to configure the connection separately using Database Configuration. See the P6 Professional Installation and Configuration Guide (Oracle Database) or P6 Professional Installation and Configuration Guide (Microsoft SQL Server Database) for details.
- If you have installed an earlier version P6 Professional or Visualizer from any media pack version, you must uninstall that version before installing with ClickOnce. If you have installed an earlier version of P6 Professional or Visualizer using ClickOnce, you must uninstall that version before installing from the media pack.
- System administrators should update .NET and other prerequisites on all client computers before upgrading or installing P6 Professional.
