Configuring WCCC to Work with P6

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

Note: These instructions contain information only on configuring Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities (WCCC) to work with P6. They do not include information on installing WCCC. For WCCC's installation instructions, see the documentation included with Oracle WCCC.

Except where noted, the guidelines below are recommendations. Depending on your organization, you can choose to use existing configurations or your own naming conventions. Refer to the documentation included with Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities for detailed instructions on how to complete the guidelines in this section. See the Tested Configurations document for information on supported versions.

To configure Oracle WCCC:

  1. (required) Establish a Trusted Connection to the P6 EPPM database by adding the P6 EPPM machine name or IP address as a trusted server in the WCCC server’s configuration file.
    1. Go to WCCC_Home\ucm\cs\config\ in which WCCC_Home is the location where you installed WCCC.

      By default, WCCC_Home path = \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\$domain_name

    2. Edit the config.cfg file.
    3. Find the SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter line and add the P6 EPPM machine name or IP address to the end of the line.

      Note: If multiple IP Address or machine name entries are made, they must be separated by a pipe symbol. For example, 127.0.0.1|127.0.0.2

    4. Restart the WCCC server.
  2. Enable Framework folders or Folder_G. The Framework folder interface and Folder_G are not enabled by default. To enable either of them, see the WCCC documentation for more information.
  3. (required) Create a P6 EPPM Security Group in WCCC and grant the appropriate rights (read, write, delete) for P6 EPPM users. You should consider the following:
  4. (required) Create an P6 EPPM documents home folder on the WCCC server by adding a unique path to the root folder.
    1. Log into the WCCC Content Server as an administrative user.
    2. Create a new folder (see the WCCC documentation for more information).

      Example format:

      OracleEnterpriseProjectPortfolioManagement

    3. Use the advanced options to assign the security group you created forP6 EPPM to this folder.
  5. Create users in WCCC for integrating with P6 EPPM. Consider the following:
  6. "" If you enabled Security Accounts, create an P6 EPPM Security Account. For example, depending on your organization, you might need to set up a Security Account for performance and storage reasons. Security considerations, similar to those made for the Security Group above, include the following:
  7. Create a Document Type for P6 EPPM documents in WCCC.
    1. Log into the WCCC Content Server as an administrative user.
    2. Use the Configuration Manager to create a new Content Type for P6 EPPM Documents (see the WCCC documentation for more information).
  8. (required) From the Configuration Manager applet:
    1. Create the following metadata text fields in the "Information fields" tab, exactly as specified (including case), in WCCC for P6 EPPM:
      • PrmUserId
      • PrmProjectId
      • PrmWorkgroupId
      • PrmWorkflowId
      • PrmWorkflowStatus
      • PrmWorkflowAction
      • PrmSecurityPolicy
      • PrmTemplate
      • PrmCheckedOutUserId
      • PrmCheckedOutDate
      • PrmLocalFilePath (make Type = Long Text)
      • PrmAuthorId

      Using "Prm" as a prefix is optional. You can use any prefix. If you don't use a prefix, ensure that none of the P6 EPPM metadata fields conflict with existing metadata fields.

    2. Select the "Update Database Design" button to commit the changes.
  9. (required) Configure the appropriate settings for the Primavera P6 Administrator. See Configuring Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities (WCCC) in the Database Instance Settings.
  10. Restart the WCCC server.
