1 Prerequisites for Using Oracle Enterprise Manager with Primavera Applications

The following prerequisites must be completed before you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager for Oracle Construction and Engineering plug-in.

Installing and Configuring Oracle Enterprise Manager

To install and configure Oracle Enterprise Manager, refer to the following 13c version documents:

Installing Primavera Applications

Install the most recent version of your Primavera applications.

For more information about installing each of the Primavera products, refer to the installation and configuration documents for the respective products on Oracle Help Center.

Enabling Monitoring for Primavera Applications

Unmanaged hosts are hosts that do not have an agent. If you do not have an agent on a host, you cannot monitor your Primavera applications on that host. Therefore, to enable Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor your Primavera applications, you must first convert unmanaged hosts to managed hosts by installing a management agent and then adding that host as a target in Oracle Enterprise Manager. Targets are entities such as host machines, databases, and Fusion Middleware components that can be managed and monitored in Cloud Control. Managed targets are entities that are actively being monitored and managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager.

For more information about adding agents to unmanaged hosts and creating targets, see the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide.

Setting Arguments for Primavera Applications in WebLogic

To enable your P6 EPPM applications to publish target metrics, you must first set the JVM for your managed servers to allow remote Java Management Extension (JMX) connections.

This step is not required for Primavera Unifier.

To set the JVM:

  1. Launch the WebLogic Administration Console.

    Note:

    You can open the Administration Console via a web browser using this address: http://serverIP:listenport/console. The default listenport is 7001.
  2. In the Welcome window, log in using the user name and password you created when you created your WebLogic domain.
  3. In the Change Center pane of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit.
  4. In the Domain Structure pane, expand Environment and click Servers.
  5. In the Summary of Servers pane, in the Configuration tab, click a managed server name.
  6. In the Settings for <managed server name> pane, select the Server Start tab.
  7. Locate the Arguments field and add the following to the end of the arguments already in that field (as all one line with a space before the dash):
    • If you are configuring WebLogic for Primavera Applications:
  8. Click Save.
  9. In the Change Center pane, click Activate Changes.
  10. Restart your managed server:
    1. In the Domain Structure pane, expand Environment and click Servers.
    2. In the Summary of Servers pane, select the Control tab.
    3. In the server table, select your managed server.
    4. Click Shutdown and then select an option:
      • Select When work completes to gracefully shut down the server.
      • Select Force Shutdown Now to stop the server immediately.
    5. In the Server Life Cycle Assistant pane, click Yes to complete the shutdown.
    6. In the server table, select your managed server.
    7. Click Start.
    8. In the Server Life Cycle Assistant pane, click Yes.
    9. In the Summary of Servers pane, click the Start Refresh icon in the middle of the pane to see when the State column says RUNNING.
