    Note: You can later change the database type through the P6 Integration API Database Configuration Setup wizard.

    1. Choose the database type: Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
    2. Click Next.
    3. Specify the database connection parameters.
    4. Click Next.

      Note: The P6 Integration API requires pubuser access (in the User Name field) to the database. The database name, host address, and host port are specific to your Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server installation. Database Host Port displays the default port for the database type you selected. You can edit this port.

    5. If the installer detects an existing configuration screen, choose the appropriate action.

      Notes:

      • If your site includes P6, you can share a new P6 Integration API configuration with P6. However, P6 cannot share an existing configuration with P6 Integration API because it will not support the new P6 Integration API configuration settings.
      • If a configuration does not exist, the The installer has detected an existing. . . screen does not appear and the installation process automatically creates a default configuration named Primavera Configuration. You can edit the settings for this configuration through the P6 Administrator application.
      • After installation, you can use the Database Configuration Setup wizard to choose or create a different configuration.
      • See the P6 EPPM Post Installation Administrator's Guide for more information about configurations.
  10. When the message displays to confirm the database configuration has completed successfully:
    1. Click OK.
    2. Click Exit to close the Setup wizard.

You will now have the following shortcuts added to the P6 Integration API entry in your Start menu:
