Before installing Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management (OPPM) application, install and configure the following applications on a Primavera Portfolio Management server:
Note: For supported software versions, refer to the Primavera Portfolio Management Tested Configurations document.
- Microsoft Windows Server as the application server by using the Configure your Server wizard. Ensure the Windows server is also installed with:
- The most recent critical updates
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
- SMTP to use collaboration features of OPPM
- Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)
- Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC)
- You must have full administrative privileges on the server to run Primavera Portfolio Management installer.
For Windows, use any of the following methods for full administrative privileges:
- Sign in using the local administrator account
- Disable User Account Control (UAC)
- Right-click the install executable and select "Run as administrator"
If the install is not performed using the local administrator account, the "Change" option in the Control Panel’s Software Explorer will not work. However, you can change the list of installed features by running using the Run as administrator method
- After installing the .Net Framework 4.5 version when you add Server roles, you must also install .Net Framework 4.5.2.
- For OPPM 20.0.2, install .Net Framework 4.8.
- Install Visual C++ redistributable 2013 (x64) and 2015 (x64).
- For OPPM 20.0.2, install Visual C++ redistributable 2019 (x64).
- If you choose to install Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server before installing Primavera Portfolio Management on the application server, ensure you complete its installation, including "Extending" any web sites.
If you install SharePoint Portal Server after installing Primavera Portfolio Management you must enable the Primavera Portfolio Management application from Sharepoint settings.
Note: Primavera Portfolio Management must never be installed into a web site managed by SharePoint.
- In Internet Information Server (IIS) Manager, create a web site to install Primavera Portfolio Management.
- Install IIS Rewrite Module 2.1 or higher to enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) by default.
- Install Oracle Database and the corresponding client access software for the database server of your choice.
If the database server resides on the same physical machine as the application server:
- For Microsoft SQL Server, the necessary software is installed when you installed the database server. No further action is needed.
- For Oracle database server, the necessary client software (Oracle InstantClient) is installed by the Primavera Portfolio Management installer. No further action is needed.
If the database server resides on another physical machine:
- For Microsoft SQL Server, install Microsoft SQL Server Client Access software on the application server.
- For Oracle database server, the necessary client software (Oracle InstantClient) is installed by the Primavera Portfolio Management installer. No further action is needed.
Note: The Oracle InstantClient installed by the Primavera Portfolio Management installer is not capable of supporting TNS by itself. To use the TNS connection method, you will need to install a full Oracle database client on all Primavera Portfolio Management application servers.
