Configuring P6 Compression Server Database Connection Settings

When using P6 Compression Server, P6 Professional is not directly connected to the database; instead, it is connected to the P6 Compression Server that has a database specified for it. You can run the Database Configuration utility to configure the connection settings for P6 Compression Server. The DB Config utility for P6 Professional is run during P6 Professional installation, or it can be run manually at a later time.
