Oracle Server Database Client Software

If your database is installed on Oracle Server, use your Oracle database installer to set up an application user and configure your Oracle Net Services client files to match your network. If you are unfamiliar with this process, contact your database administrator.

Notes:

If your database is installed on Oracle Server, during P6 Professional installation, use the Oracle EZCONNECT string (//<server name>:<listen port>/<service name>) to connect to the P6 Professional database. If you prefer, you can also use the TNSNAMES file instead of EZCONNECT. The TNSNAMES file is in the Oracle home folder on the client computer, not in a shared location. Reference the TNSPING.EXE location in your path environment variable.
If you plan to launch content repository documents from P6 Professional, you must use the TNSNAMES method.
Ensure that all clients are configured to use TCP/IP as the default network protocol.
