Running Database Configuration After Installation

If you selected the Run Database Configuration option during installation, the Database Configuration wizard launches automatically after P6 Professional installation is complete. Use Database Configuration to create a database connection for P6 Professional and Job Services.

You can also run Database Configuration manually at any time. See Running Database Configuration Manually for details.

Note:

To change database connection settings, the Database Configuration wizard must access the PrmBootStrapV2.xml file. This file is located in <local drive>\%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional\<version number>\.

To run Database Configuration after installation, complete the following steps:

If Database Configuration does not launch automatically, click Start, All Programs, Oracle - Primavera P6, P6 Professional <release level>, P6 Professional <release level> Help and Tools, Database Configuration.
On the Select Driver Type dialog box, in the P6 Professional driver type field, select Oracle.
In the Oracle Connection String field:
- If you are using Oracle EZCONNECT, enter the connection string in the format, //<server name>:<listen port>/<service name>.
  Note: The two leading slashes are mandatory for API applications like Update Baseline, XML Export/import, and Schedule Comparison.
- If you are using the TNSNAMES file, enter the Oracle Database name.
Choose whether to use ADO.NET Data Access option.
If your database is encrypted using a database key, in the Keystore section:
1. If you want to use the default key for the database, select Use default database keystore.
2. If you do not want to use the default key:
  - In the Keystore file field, click Browse.
  - In the Open dialog box, browse to your key file and click Open.
3. In the Key Name list select the key to use.
Click Next.
In the Enter public login Information section, enter your public login information that was defined by your administrator.
Click Test to test the database connection. If the connection is successful, click Save. If the connection is not successful, revise the database connection information you provided.
