Configuring the Oracle Database Content Repository

You can use Oracle database as a content repository with your P6 EPPM installation.

To configure the Oracle database as your content repository:

  1. Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
  2. In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
  3. In the sidebar selectDatabase.
  4. Select your Instance from the drop-down list.
  5. Expand Content Repository.

    Note Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.

  6. In the Type field, select Oracle Database.

    This option will save documents and associated information in the P6 database schema. This option is only applicable if you are using an Oracle database on-premises or an Oracle Autonomous Database.

  7. In the Maximum document size field, enter the maximum size in KB for documents that can be uploaded to P6. The default is 10240 KB. Enter a value between 0 and 1048576.

    Note To block specific document types, enter a comma separated list of file extensions in the Invalid Document Types field in the Integration & Allow Lists tab of the Application Settings in P6. Oracle recommends at least blocking the following document types: .exe,.com,.bat,.cmd,.vbs,.js,.msi.

  8. In the Connection Maintenance Interval field enter the frequency at which the connection to the content repository is validated. The default is 10 minutes. Enter a value between 1 second and 24 days.

    Note Ensure that the Enable Cloud Storage field is set to false.

  9. Restart the P6 server.
