Configuring Timestamp Service in Services Settings

When the timestamp service runs, it searches the database for what items have changed and need to be refreshed in the cache.

To set your timestamp service settings:

  1. Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
  2. In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
  3. In the sidebar select Services/Timestamp Service.
  4. In the Refresh Rate field, enter the rate when the database is queried to determine if a table change notification is necessary.

    The default value is 1m.

    Enter a value between 15s and 1h.

    Notes:

    • If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you enter a longer rate, the server will run more efficiently, but the data may be out of date. If you enter a shorter time, the data will be up to date, but the server may not run as efficiently.
    • Changes to this setting require you to restart the P6 server.
