Component Descriptions

Installing P6 Professional standalone means you are using your machine for both the client application software and the server and database functionality required for the software to operate in a standalone environment. The P6 Professional Standalone Installation option installs the following:

Database Server
The standalone installation installs SQLite. This database server component of the standalone installation is required to store the project management databases on an individual computer.

Notes:
- SQLite components are always installed, regardless of which installation or migration scenario you choose.
- If Oracle Database Express Edition is already installed on the client computer, you can choose to leave it in place; the installer will still install SQLite.
Database
The project management database stores the project management data used by P6 Professional. The database is installed during the standalone installation. The name of the default database alias shown on the login screen is PMDB.
Desktop Client
P6 Professional enables users to access the project management database to plan and control a large number of projects.
