Configuring GeoCodeProvider Settings

Configuring your Geo Code Provider settings will allow you to use the locations feature in P6. With the locations feature, you can assign locations to projects, activities, and resources so you can later report in Analytics based on geographical location.

To set your GeoCodeProvider settings:

Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
In the sidebar select GeoCodeProvider.
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
1. In the GeoCodeProvider drop-down menu, select your provider:
  - Oracle GeoCoder
  - Third Party Geocoder
  - None
2. In the Geocode Provider URL field, enter the URL for your geocode provider.
  Note: The P6 server may have trouble starting if it cannot connect to the Geo Code URL. On the machine where you installed P6, test the URL in a browser to ensure you can connect before you enter the URL in this setting.
  
  For the Oracle GeoCoder, the default value is http://elocation.oracle.com/geocoder/gcserver.
  
  For a third-party geocoder, use the URL associated with your geocoder.
  
  Note: If you use the Oracle GeoCoder, you must also set your Web Proxy Server to www-proxy.us.oracle.com on the Web Proxy page for your configuration.
