From the command line, execute: sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
If you are installing P6 EPPM, go to the p6suite\database\scripts\install\PM_<release_level> folder of the physical media and run the manual_script_before_install.sql script. This script grants sys.DBMS_REPUTIL privileges to the System user which will be validated during database installation.
If you are upgrading P6 EPPM, go to p6suite\database\scripts\install\PM_<release_levelt> folder of the physical media and run the manual_script_before_upgrade.sql script. This script grants sys.DBMS_REPUTIL privileges to the System user which will be validated during database installation.
Go to the location where you extracted the contents and run one of the following depending on your system type:
If you are installing on a Microsoft Windows system, navigate to the P6_R<release_level>\Disk1\install directory, and then double-click on the setup.exe file.

Note: Click Next on each wizard dialog box to advance to the next step.
On the Specify Home Details screen, type a name for the installation. For the path, browse to the location of the P6 EPPM home folder (for example, C:\P6EPPM_1).
On the Available Product Components screen, select each component you want to install.
Note: Oracle recommends that you install P6 and P6 Team Member separately so that you can create an Admin configuration for both of them. If you install them together, you will only be able to create an Admin configuration for P6.
If you are installing P6 select the following version-specific components:
Select P6.
Select P6 Help if you want to use the local help (i.e., the p6help.war file).
Do not select this option if you want to use the default URL which connects to the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) site. OTN houses Oracle's most up-to-date documentation. If P6 EPPM functionality changes, the help documentation on OTN will show those changes.
If any updates are made to the help, these will not be visible if you are using the p6help.war file.
Select P6 Professional Cloud Connect if you want to connect to P6 Professional with an EPPM Oracle database using a remote method of access. This installation option is applicable to only Oracle database users. The wizard will also install P6 Integration API (in remote mode) by default.
After running the P6 EPPM Configuration wizard, the Configuration Complete screen will display the default URL generated for P6 Professional Cloud Connect. This URL (case-sensitive) must be provided to P6 Professional users to enable them to setup and configure a new database connection to the P6 Pro Cloud Connect server in the P6 Professional database configuration utility.
For more details on establishing the P6 Pro cloud connect database connection in P6 Professional, see the P6 Professional for EPPM Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you are installing P6 Integration API, select P6 Integration API.
Notes:
The wizard will install the remote version of P6 Integration API.
If you install P6 Professional Cloud Connect, P6 Integration API (in remote mode) will also be installed by default. In the P6 Web Administration Application Settings, you must also set up the P6 Pro API URL for remote applications to determine where the API server is running in remote mode to take requests from API Apps (in P6 Professional application). Enter the URL in the format. https://<hostname>:<port>/PrimaveraAPI/APIAPPS.
If you need to install the local version of P6 Integration API or want to install the client-side packages (which include libraries and documentation for remote mode), see the P6 Integration API Configuration Guide.
If you are installing P6 EPPM Web Services, select P6 Web Services.
The wizard will also install the demo applications for P6 EPPM Web Services.
If you are installing P6 Team Member, select P6 Team Member. This will install the files necessary for P6 Team Member Web, E-mail Statusing Service, and the server components for P6 mobile.
If you want to use the local help for P6 Team Member, select P6 Team Member Help.
Notes:
If you want to use E-mail Statusing Service, see the P6 EPPM Post Installation Administrator's Guide when you have completed installing and configuring your other applications.
P6 for iOS supports SSL (https) or HTTP only when it has a certificate signed by a trusted authority.
P6 for Android requires SSL (https) when you are not using SSO authentication. If you are using SSO authentication, you can use HTTP or HTTPs protocols. HTTPS requires a valid certificate from an Android trusted certifying authority.
On the Specify JDK Home screen, type or browse to the location where JDK is installed (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67).
On the Specify the wsdl4j-1.6.2 Directory screen:
If you are not installing P6 EPPM Web Services, this screen will not appear.

Verify that all the components you want to install are listed.
Click Install.
Note: Ignore the Configuration Assistants screen when it appears. It will close itself.
On the End of Installation screen, click Exit.
Note: The P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard will appear if the installation was successful.
In the Exit dialog box, click Yes.
If you want to use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to configure your P6 EPPM, WebLogic, and other applications, continue to About the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard.
Note: If you are using WebSphere, you can still use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to configure your database and BI Publisher, BPM, and content repository installations with P6 EPPM.
If you want to configure your applications manually and/or you are using WebSphere, click Cancel to exit the configuration wizard. See Where to Go From Here - Pre Configuration Wizard to see what guides you will need to configure your applications manually or in WebSphere.
