For this release, P6 Compression Server only supports Oracle and works only forP6 Professional and its connections with the P6 Professional database. Also, some of the features or tools that come with P6 Professional such as Schedule Analyzer or Update Baselines use the P6 Integration API. Since the P6 Integration API is not configured to use P6 Compression Server, you might see performance issues with these tools if you are connecting over high-latency lines.
The server-side DB Config utility has provisions for connecting P6 Professional to a compression server on a specific port through Primavera’s DBExpress driver (PrCSDrv). The same client can connect directly with the database if desired. P6 Compression Server has a number of configuration options as well, including the listener port number, number of worker threads, logging, thread pool, etc. These options are explained further in the P6 Professional Compression Server Administration Guide.
The client-side DB Config utility, which usually connects to Oracle, SQL Server, or MSDE, will have an additional option of connecting to P6 Compression Server. At this point, specifics such as server name and port number will have to be entered into the client-side DB Config utility.
