Configuring Next Key Service in Services Settings

The next key service finds cached keys that need updating.

To set your next key service settings:

  1. Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
  2. In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
  3. In the sidebar select Services/Next Key Service.
    1. In the Refresh Rate field, enter the rate to refresh the next key cache.

      The default value is 1m.

      Enter a value between 15s and 1h.

      Note: 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 If you enter a longer rate, the server will run more efficiently, but the data may be out of date.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.

    2. In the Maximum Cached Keys field, enter the maximum next keys to cache per table.

      The default value is 10.

      Enter a value between 1 and 100.
