Configuring P6 for Reporting

P6 relies on Oracle Analytics Publisher and the P6 EPPM Extended Schema to produce reports.

To configure P6 to run reports:

If not already set up, create a Oracle Analytics Publisher environment to manage reports. See the documentation included with Oracle Analytics Publisher.
Configure sample reports, roles, security, and users in Oracle Analytics Publisher. See Configuring Enterprise Reporting with Oracle Analytics Publisher.
Populate Oracle Analytics Publisher settings in the Primavera P6 Administrator. See Configuring the Primavera P6 Administrator for Oracle Analytics Publisher and Publication Services
For Publication Services, you will also need to configure the Primavera P6 Administrator settings. You can configure publication settings for General Data, Time Distributed Data, Blob Data, and Log retention. You can also configure publication services settings for Project Arbiter, Projects, Enterprise Data, Enterprise Summaries, Resource Management, and Security. For more information, see Configuring Publication Settings in Services Settings, and Configuring Publication Services in Services Settings.
Configure and deploy the Publication Services required to populate the reporting views in the P6 EPPM Extended Schema. See Working with Publication Services and Publishing P6 Data.
Configure Oracle Analytics Publisher to allow P6 to use parameter keys so users do not have to enter field values for reports. See Why Do I Need Parameters?.
When you begin working in P6, you can configure your application settings and global scheduled services. See the P6 EPPM Application Administration Guide for more information on scheduled services and application settings.
Provide users with the 'Edit EPS Costs/Financials' project privilege if they need to view project costs in a report generated from the P6 EPPM Extended Schema. See information about security profiles in the P6 EPPM Application Administration Guide.
