P6 is a web-based module you can use to view and update project, portfolio, and resource data across the enterprise. P6 connects to the P6 EPPM database via an application server.
This guide will tell you how to:
Uninstall previous products and versions of P6
Configure the application server for P6
Deploy P6
Before using this guide you will need to:
Install the R8.4 database. See the Installing and Configuring P6 EPPM guide or Manually Installing the P6 EPPM Database guide.
Install P6. See the Installing and Configuring P6 EPPM guide.
After you have deployed P6, use the P6 EPPM Post Installation Administrator's Guide for information on how to begin using P6.
Tips
If you have a high latency network, you may want to configure a front-end Web server for P6. On this Web server, set the Expires header (with the exception of .png files) to a larger value to improve performance.
See information about client and server requirements in the Planning Your P6 EPPM Implementation guide for a list of supported application servers with version numbers. For a full list of tested configurations for the P6 server, see the P6 EPPM Tested Configurations document.
