Pre-Installation Considerations
- You need a knowledge of Windows 2008 Terminal Services and Citrix
- You need the Local Administrator account for software installation and Citrix publishing
- It is recommended that a shared drive be used on the LAN local to the terminal services server for project imports and exports due to WAN performance considerations.
- It is recommended that the users' home directories reside on the same LAN as the Terminal Server/Citrix server due to potential performance issues across various functions in P6 Professional
P6 Professional User requirements
To run on Windows Terminal Services published through Citrix:
- Each P6 Professional user must use a unique Windows account
- Each P6 Professional user must use a unique account in P6 Professional.
PM.ini Logic
At launch, P6 Professional checks for the PM.ini file in the following order in the following locations:
- In the same directory as the executable file.
- In the user's roaming app data folder.
- In the user's local app data folder.
If the file is not found in any of these locations, the PM.ini file in the %ProgramData%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional folder is copied to the user's local profile (\Users\$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional).
