Installation Process Phases

Phase I: Plan Your Installation

Plan your P6 Compression Server installation. Identify the network and hardware that you will need. If required, install and configure database server software (Oracle).

Phase II: Set Up Your Database Servers using P6 Professional

P6 Compression Server is compatible with P6 Professional Oracle database. Oracle recommends that you setup your database servers using the P6 Professional setup, or use a copy of a database already configured to work with P6 Professional.

Phase III: Configure P6 Compression Server

  1. Install the supported Java SDK on the P6 Compression Server computer.
  2. Install Oracle 11g or later on the P6 Compression Server computer.
  3. Create a WebLogic domain for P6 Compression Server.
  4. Install P6 Compression Server on the Windows server that you have identified.
  5. Setup the P6 Compression Server configuration database during the installation process or once it completes.

    P6 Compression Server works with multiple databases provided that each database is the same database type (P6 EPPM or P6 Professional). For example, after you setup the first P6 Compression Server configuration database, you can duplicate it for other databases provided that each database type is the same as the first.

    The first database configured during P6 Compression Server installation contains the P6 Compression Server configuration.

Phase IV: Configure Clients

  1. Install P6 Professional on a client workstation.

    During installation, you can configure a connection to your regular Oracle database.

    P6 Professional setup installs the necessary P6 Compression Server client drivers (libjnbzip2.dll and DbExpPrC.dll) and all the files needed to connect to P6 Compression Server.

  2. Use client DB Config to setup a connection through P6 Compression Server.
