Setting the Bootstrap Location if P6 Team Member is in a Different WebSphere Application Server from P6

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

If you will run the p6tm.ear file in the same WebSphere Application Server as P6, skip this section and continue to Configuring P6 Team Member to be a New WebSphere Application.

If you will run the p6tm.ear file in a different WebSphere Application Server from P6, set the location of your P6 bootstrap file. When you set the bootstrap argument, you will set it for the home directory where you want your p6tm.ear file to connect.

  1. Start the WebSphere Application Server.
  2. Launch the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console.
  3. In the left-hand navigation pane:
    1. Expand Servers then Server Types.
    2. Click WebSphere application servers.
  4. On the Application servers screen, click the server name link.
  5. On the Configuration tab, under Server Infrastructure, expand Java and Process Management.
  6. Click Process Definition.
  7. Under Additional Properties on the right side, click Java Virtual Machine.
  8. On the Configuration tab, under Generic JVM arguments:
    1. Type (as all one line):

      -Dprimavera.bootstrap.home=p6home

      where p6home is the P6 home directory that was set during installation (for example, c:\P6EPPM_1\p6 in Windows or /usr/P6EPPM_1/p6 in UNIX) where you want your application to connect.

    2. If your bootstrap file has only one database, skip this step.

      If your bootstrap file contains more than one database, you need to add an argument clarifying which database you want to use. The line will look similar to the following:

      -Ddatabase.instance=db_id

      where db_id is the database instance you want to use (for example, -Ddatabase.instance=2).

      The whole line should look similar to the following (all one line):

      -Dprimavera.bootstrap.home=p6home -Ddatabase.instance=db_id

    3. Set the memory settings to maximize performance.
      • In Windows, the line should look similar to the following (all one line):

        -Dprimavera.bootstrap.home=p6home -Xms256m -Xmx512m

        where p6home is the P6 home directory that was set during installation (for example, C:\P6EPPM_1\p6).

      • In UNIX, the line will look similar to the following (all one line):

        -Dprimavera.bootstrap.home=p6home -Xms256m -Xmx512m

        where p6home is the P6 home directory that was set during installation (for example, /usr/P6EPPM_1/p6).

        Note: Make sure that you have a P6 Admin Configuration created exclusively for P6 Team Member. If the new configuration was not created during P6 Team Member's installation, then you can create it by either logging into the P6 Admin settings or using the adminpv.cmd utility.

  9. Click OK.
  10. Click the Save link that appears within the message reporting changes.
  11. Restart the application server instance.
