About the Primavera P6 Administrator Services Settings

Once you have installed P6, you will need to set your Primavera P6 Administrator services settings to set items such as scheduler, leveler, and apply actuals. These services settings manage your long running services including when to run them and how many threads to use.

Oracle recommends having at least two configurations: one for application servers hosting P6 and another for the background service applications that run services, but do not process web pages. You can create more configurations as needed.

For the P6 application server, you need to limit background services and how often they run. This will allow users' requests to process more quickly.

For the background services configuration, you can have more threads configured and run them at shorter intervals. For information on setting up a separate server for job services, see Configuring a Job Services Server Using p6services.jar.

If you are running background services and P6 on the same server, Oracle recommends keeping the settings' defaults for your configuration.
