Configuring WebLogic for P6 EPPM

This section details the basic configuration steps for P6 EPPM applications in a WebLogic environment when opting for an Admin Server and Managed Server deployment.

Oracle recommends you create a Managed Server deployment. Each managed server requires exclusive access to its own rotating logfiles. If your managed and clustered servers are on the same machine, you must create a different P6 home folder for each managed server and then copy the BREBootstrap file into each folder. You must edit the BREBootstrap file to ensure the logDir setting is set to the folder unique to each managed server. If your Admin, Managed, and clustered servers are all on the same machine, you do not need to copy the BREBootstrap file. This section assumes that you set up separate domains for your applications; however, you can create one domain and configure all P6 EPPM applications to run in this domain.

Although not required for the P6 EPPM server setup, WebLogic has additional settings that can be used to enhance your environment. For example, when using clustering, enabling the session replication setting will seamlessly transfer users to another server if a server shuts down unexpectedly.

See the official WebLogic documentation for more information on setting up WebLogic Windows Services and all available WebLogic configuration and deployment options.
