Selecting P6 Projects for Construction and Engineering Intelligence for the First Time

When you receive Oracle's Welcome email for Construction and Engineering Intelligence, an initial ETL has already been processed with all published P6 projects loaded into Construction and Engineering Intelligence. Therefore, work with the key stakeholders in your organization to identify:

  • projects that need to be removed from Construction and Engineering Intelligence
  • projects that need to be visible in Construction and Engineering Intelligence

For example, your organization has 35 ongoing projects. The initial load will include all 35 projects in Construction and Engineering Intelligence. However, your organization may want to draw insights for only the top 10 high-priority projects. Therefore you will need to remove the remaining projects from being loaded to Construction and Engineering Intelligence.

To remove P6 projects from being selected for Construction and Engineering Intelligence:

  1. Sign into P6 as a user.

    Note:

    Ensure you have the following security privileges: Edit Project Details Excepts Costs/Financials project security privilege, Add/Edit/Delete Global Activity and Assignment Layouts, Views and Filters global security privilege.
  2. Click Projects.
  3. On the Projects navigation bar, click EPS.
  4. On the EPS page:
    1. Click the Views list and select a view.
    2. In the EPS / Project Grid, deselect the Enable Publication option to remove each project from Construction and Engineering Intelligence.

      Note:

      If your organization is a customer of Primavera Analytics also, then any P6 projects deselected for Construction and Engineering Intelligence will also not be available for Primavera Analytics.
  5. Run publication services in P6 EPPM to publish only the selected projects to P6 Extended Schema for an ETL upload to Construction and Engineering Intelligence.
