About This Guide
Scope
This guide describes how to automatically upgrade and configure your applications. Before you begin, read through the Prerequisites for P6 EPPM Configuration.
Upgrading P6 EPPM
Notes: Before installing P6 EPPM, run the script, manual_script_before_upgrade.sql located in the p6suite\database\scripts\install\PM_<release_level>folder of the physical media to minimize the configuration change on the Oracle database server.
You should upgrade all of your applications to the latest version to ensure they work together.
Use setup.exe in the Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management physical media or download to install the following P6 EPPM applications:
- P6 (and its help and tutorials)
- P6 Team Member (includes P6 Team Member Web and Email Statusing Service)
- P6 mobile (includes P6 for iOS and P6 for Android)
- P6 Professional Cloud Connect
- P6 EPPM Web Services
- P6 Integration API
Note: The wizard upgrades the remote P6 Integration API. If you want to use the local mode P6 Integration API, see the P6 Integration API Configuration Guide.
Configuring P6 EPPM
Use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to configure P6 EPPM. The P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard is a wizard that you can use to create or update a P6 configuration in Primavera P6 Administrator and to configure:
- A connection to an Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database
- A WebLogic domain
- Connections to optional enabling technologies, such as a content repository (Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities, Microsoft SharePoint, Oracle Database, or a CMIS-compliant repositories), BIP, and or BPM
Notes:
- The SharePoint connector has been removed from version 16.1 and later. New SharePoint users should configure SharePoint with a CMIS-compliant content repository, and then configure P6 EPPM to the CMIS-compliant content repository.
- Do not reconfigure SharePoint with a CMIS-compliant content repository if you previously configured your SharePoint connection using the Primavera P6 Administrator and SharePoint connector. Reconfiguring SharePoint with a CMIS repository will prevent previously stored documents from being visible. For more information, refer to documentation from Version 16.
By default, the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard runs automatically after you upgrade your P6 EPPM applications. If you need to manually launch the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard, use eppmconfig.cmd (.sh) from the P6 EPPM installation folder at C:\P6EPPM_1\p6.
After you use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard, use Primavera P6 Administrator to configure P6 EPPM administration settings. For more information about Primavera P6 Administrator, see the P6 EPPM System Administrator's Guide.
