Requirements After the Upgrade from R8 or later to 16 R2
The following list summarizes the procedures you need to perform after upgrading P6 EPPM:
User Name and Password Procedures
- For security reasons, Oracle strongly recommends that you replace the default database users' (admuser, privuser, pubuser, bgjobuser, and PxRptUser) passwords immediately after a manual database installation or an upgrade from P6 version 7.0 and earlier. Do not use special characters in the database name, privileged user, public user, or PX Reporting user name for example: { } [ ] : ; < > , . ? ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ | / \ ~ `
- Oracle recommends using strong passwords. Strong passwords in P6 EPPM contain between 8 and 20 characters and at least one numeric and one alpha character. To further strengthen the password, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
- See Modifying Private Database Logins for P6 EPPM for instructions on how to replace the private database login. For all other database user names and passwords, use the tools included with the database.
Application Configuration Procedures
- Install the new P6, P6 Professional, and any additional components.
- Assign new or modified privileges to users. See information about defining global security and project security profiles in the P6 EPPM Application Administration Guide.
