Configuring Alert Notification Service in Services Settings

The alert notification service controls how often the P6 database checks for alerts.

To set your alert notification service settings:

  1. Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
  2. In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
  3. In the sidebar select Services/Alert Notification Service.
  4. In the Refresh Rate field, enter the rate to refresh alerts.

    The default value is 30s.

    Enter a value between 15s and 15m.

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 If you enter a longer rate, the server will run more efficiently, but the data may be out of date.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