Configuring the P6 Compression Server Administrator Application

As the system administrator, you can use the P6 Compression Server Administrator Application to review, modify, add, and delete P6 Compression Server configurations. P6 Professional configurations are stored in the P6 Compression Server database specified during installation. These configurations contain all of the settings used to run P6 Compression Server. Only administrators should use the P6 Compression Server Administrator Application to modify configuration settings.

To configure the P6 Compression Server Administrator Application:

  1. Click Start/All Programs/Oracle - Primavera P6/Primavera Compression Server/Administrator to run the P6 Compression Server Administrator Application.
  2. In the Primavera P6 Administrator dialog box, enter the database username (for example, privuser) and password of the privileged user and then click OK.
  3. In the Primavera P6 Administrator dialog box, click the Configurations tab.
  4. On the Configurations tab:
    1. Expand Custom/Primavera P6 Configuration.
    2. To upgrade the configuration to the latest version, right-click the Primavera P6 Configuration folder and select Update to latest version.

      Note: Oracle strongly recommends that you create a new configuration when you install P6 Compression Server. See Updating the P6 Compression Server Configuration Version if you choose to upgrade an existing 5.0 SP1 or earlier configuration for additional required steps.

    3. To create one or more databases that P6 Compression Server can load data against on behalf of P6 Professional clients:
      1. Expand the Database folder.
      2. Right-click the Instance folder and select Duplicate. Change the copy name to represent any database you need for P6 Compression Server.
      3. Expand the Instance folder in the copy and edit the fields as appropriate for the new database.

      Repeat these steps for each database you want to create.

      Note: When editing the URL field, remember that a database is referred to by its SID name (by default) and IP address or by its Service Name and IP address, depending on whether you choose the Service Name or SID option when installing the P6 Compression Server.
