About Installing and
Configuring P6 EPPM

This guide tells you how to automatically
install and configure your applications. Before you begin, read the Prerequisites
for P6 EPPM Configuration (on page 7).

Installing P6 EPPM

You will use the setup.exe (for Windows) ./runinstaller
(for Linux or UNIX) in the Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management
physical media or download to install the following P6 EPPM applications:

Note: You do not have to install all
applications; you can pick and choose what you install. However, you must install
P6 to run the other P6 EPPM applications.

4 P6 (and its help and tutorials)

4 P6 Team Member Interfaces (includes P6 Team Member Web, E-mail
Statusing Service, and the server-side components for P6 mobile)

Notes:

• You will need to configure E-mail Statusing Service separately. See
  the P6 EPPM System Administration Guide.
• P6 for iOS supports SSL (https) or HTTP only when it has a
  certificate signed by a trusted authority.
• P6 for Android requires SSL (https) when you are not using SSO
  authentication. If you are using SSO authentication, you can use HTTP or HTTPs
  protocols. HTTPS requires a valid certificate from an Android trusted
  certifying authority.

4
P6 Professional Cloud Connect

Select the P6 Professional
Cloud Connect install option if you plan to 
use P6 Professional with an EPPM Oracle database by connecting to a
remote service. The wizard sets up a remote method of access to connect to the
EPPM database and the P6 APIs. For more details on establishing the P6
Professional Cloud Connect database connection in P6 Professional, see the P6 Professional Installation and
Configuration Guide (P6 EPPM).

Notes:

• When you choose to install P6 Professional Cloud Connect, the wizard
  will also install P6 Integration API (in remote mode) by default.
• P6 Professional Cloud Connect does not apply to Microsoft SQL Server
  database users.

4 P6 Integration API

About Installing and Configuring P6 EPPM

Note: The wizard installs the remote P6
Integration API. If you want to use the local-mode P6 Integration API, see the P6 EPPM Integration API Configuration Guide.

4
P6 EPPM Web Services

Configuring P6 EPPM

Use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard for
your initial configuration of P6 EPPM. The P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard is a
wizard that you can use to create a P6 configuration in Primavera P6
Administrator and to configure:

4 A connection to an Oracle or Microsoft
SQL Server database

4
A WebLogic domain

4
Connections to optional enabling technologies, such as
a content repository (Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities (WCCC),
Microsoft Sharepoint, or CMIS-compliant repositories), BIP, and or BPM

By default, the P6 EPPM Configuration
Wizard runs automatically after you install your P6 EPPM applications. If you
need to manually launch the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard, use eppmconfig.cmd (for Windows) eppmconfig (for Linux) from the P6
EPPM installation folder at

C:\P6EPPM_1\p6.

After you use the P6 EPPM
Configuration Wizard, use Primavera P6 Administrator to configure P6 EPPM
administration settings. For more information about Primavera P6 Administrator,
see the P6 EPPM System Administration
Guide.

Prerequisites for P6 EPPM
Configuration

Review and
complete the prerequisites before configuring any P6 EPPM applications.

Minimum Hard Disk Space

Installing the
entire P6 EPPM suite requires 1GB of hard disk space. If you configure the WebLogic
domain, that will require 1.75GB of hard disk space; it also requires 4GB of
available system memory.

Note: These numbers do not include the
space the database requires because that is dependent on how you configure it.

JDK Installation

WebLogic Server requires
that you have a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine. You must
manually download and install the required JDK. For a list of supported JDK
versions for P6 EPPM, see the Tested
Configurations document. As new releases of the software become available,
you can find them at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html.

Setting an Environment Variable
for Java

After installing the JDK, you must set the
following environment variables to ensure the P6 EPPM installation scripts can
locate your Java libraries:

4
JAVA_HOME

4
PATH

Setting the Environment Variables in Microsoft Windows

To set the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment
variables in Microsoft Windows:

1)   
Click Start, Control Panel, System, and then Advanced system settings.

2)   
In the System Properties dialog box, on the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

3)   
Add the JAVA_HOME environment variable:

1. In the System Variables section, click New.
2. In the Variable name field, enter JAVA_HOME.
3. In the Variable value field, enter the location where the JDK software is
   installed (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\<java_version>)
4. Click OK.

4)   
Update the PATH environment
variable to include the location of the Java executable files:

1. In the System Variables section, select the PATH variable, and click Edit.
2. In the Variable value field, insert %JAVA_HOME%\bin; in front of all the existing directories. Do not delete any
   existing entries; otherwise, some existing applications may not run.
3. Click OK.

5)   
Exit the Control Panel.

Setting the Environment Variables with Unix or Linux

To set the
JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables with Unix or Linux:

1)   
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable by typing the following command:

export
JAVA_HOME=<JDK_installation_path>

2)   
Set the PATH environment
variable by typing the following command: 
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Installing
WebLogic

You will need to
install WebLogic to deploy P6 EPPM. For supported versions, see the Tested

Configurations document.
For more information about how to install WebLogic, see the following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/documentation/index.html

Note: Oracle recommends that you install
Oracle Access Manager on a new WebLogic Middleware home.

If existing Middleware
applications are installed into the Middleware home (for example, BI Publisher
or Identity Management), Access Manager will fail to deploy.

Tips

After you finish
installing WebLogic, ensure you can run the startNodeManager.cmd (with Windows)
startNodeManager.sh (with UNIX or Linux) before installing P6 EPPM. If you
cannot run this file, contact your WebLogic administrator for help.

Installing
a Database

You can use either Oracle or Microsoft SQL
Server on your database server for P6 EPPM deployments. For more information
about supported database versions, refer to Tested
Configurations. You must install the database server before you can create
the P6 EPPM database.

If you are using an Oracle Database, you
must make sure to create a database with the Oracle Text option enabled. Oracle
Text supports the Oracle Database content repository by using standard SQL to
index, search, and analyze text and documents stored in the database, in files
and on the web. For more details, refer to the Oracle Database documentation.

If you are using
a Microsoft SQL Server Database, you must make sure that you enable FILESTREAM
before attempting your P6 EPPM installation or upgrade. For information about
how to enable FILESTREAM, refer to the Microsoft SQL Server documentation for
your version.

Notes:

• If you attempt to create a database using Oracle Database 12c, the
  option to create a container database is enabled by default. If you do not want
  to create a container database, deselect the Create As Container Database check box during the database creation
  process. If you create a container database, you must also create a pluggable
  database on which to install your P6 EPPM instance.
• When using an Oracle database, you must install Oracle Multimedia,
  along with these supporting components: Oracle JVM, Oracle XML DB (XDB), and
  XML Developer‘s Kit (XDK). Unless you specify otherwise, all these components
  automatically get installed with the latest versions of an Oracle database (11g
  and later). If you chose not to install these components, you will need to
  install them before you install P6 EPPM. See the Oracle Multimedia‘s User‘s Guide on the Oracle Technology Network
  (OTN) for information on how to install these components.
• Oracle Text is enabled by default.
• jobsvc.job_data_x is used to store XML data for XML import processes
  using the Varbinary(Max) datatype. In order to support the Varbinary(Max)
  datatype, you must enable FILESTREAM.

Grant
Privileges to the SYSTEM User

Before installing P6 EPPM, execute the
following steps:

1)   
Navigate to the following
location, open the designated script in a text editor, and modify the schema
user reference to match your actual schema user name:

\scripts\install\PM_<release level>\manual_script_before_install.sql

You must apply grant
options to the SYSTEM schema user or a custom user associated with the Oracle
DBA role. If you plan to use a custom schema user, other than SYSTEM, to
execute steps which require a DBA role, then you must update the references to
SYSTEM in the script with the new custom schema user associated with the DBA
role.

2)   
From the command line, execute:
sqlplus
sys/[email protected]<db_tns_names_entry> as sysdba

3)   
Go to
p6suite\database\scripts\install\PM_<release_level>, and execute manual_script_before_install.sql.

This script grants SELECT and EXECUTE
privileges with grant option to SYSTEM, or a custom DBA username if you prefer
to use one, for the following sys objects:

SELECT

4
sys.DBA_VIEWS

EXECUTE

4
sys.DBMS_DBMS_REPUTIL

4
sys.DBMS_DBMS_LOB

4
sys.DBMS_SQL

4
sys.DBMS_JOB

4
sys.DBMS_RANDOM

4 sys.V_$TRANSACTION

Note: For more information about the
listed sys objects, refer to the Oracle Database documentation.

Content
Repository Installation and Configuration

The Content
Repository allows users to collaboratively share and manage documents in P6.
For P6 EPPM users to utilize the enhanced document management functionality,
you must install either Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities (WCCC) or a
CMIS-compliant content repository. Refer to the documentation included with
those applications for installation instructions.

Note: P6 supports clustering of the
Content Repository only when using WebLogic for the application server.

After you install the Content Repository
application and P6, perform the following tasks to complete the Content
Repository setup:

4
Configure the Content Repository server based on your
organization’s needs.

4
See Configuring WCCC to Work with P6

4
If you are using another CMIS-compliant repository, see
the installation instructions included with your content repository.

4
Enter the appropriate Database/Instance/Content
Repository Primavera P6 Administrator settings. You can use the P6 EPPM
Configuration Wizard to enter your settings. See Using the Content Repository
Selection Screen (on page 29) for detailed information about these
settings.

For more
information about installing and configuring a content repository for P6 EPPM,
refer to the P6 EPPM Content Repository
Configuration Guide.

BI Publisher Installation

Consult BI
Publisher documentation for installation instructions. For complete overview
information about BI Publisher, go to the following web site:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/index.html.

Workflows
Repository Installation

The Workflows
Repository helps users to keep track of project initiations in P6. For P6 users
to utilize the project initiation functionality, you must install the supported
Workflows Repository application, BPM. Refer to the documentation included with
the Oracle BPM application for installation instructions.

Installing the Oracle MDS Schema for
BPM

If you are using
BPM, you must install the Oracle MDS
schema using the Repository Creation
Unit (RCU) on a separate database instance. See the Tested Configurations document for supported versions.

Modifying the P6 Environment for
BPM

To configure BPM with P6:

1) Create a new
directory on the host where P6 is running. For example, P6BPMConnector/P6 and P6BPMConnector/BPM.

In the P6 media pack Tools\BPM
Connector\12c subfolder, locate the prm-bpm-connector-12c-v1.0.jar

1)   
Copy the connector file listed
above to the P6BPMConnector/P6
folder you created.

Determine the location of the BPM
installation that you are using to integrate with P6. If you have multiple SOA
Suite installations, ensure that you determine the location of the specific
installation that you are integrating with P6.

2)   
Copy all the supporting jars
from the BPM installation that you are using to integrate with P6 to the P6BPMConnector/BPM folder you created.
Their default locations are listed: 4 <Oracle_Home>\soa\soa\modules\oracle.soa.fabric_11.x.x\bpm-infra.j
ar

Note: The jars must be from the same BPM
installation that will be integrated with P6.

3) Edit the weblogic.policy file:

1. Locate the weblogic.policy file
   in one of the following locations:

In Windows: <Oracle_Home>/wlserver/server/lib In Linux: <Oracle_Home>/wlserver/server/lib

1. Add the following information in weblogic.policy file and restart
   the P6 application server.

grant
codeBase "file:<full path to BPM support JAR directory>/*"
{ permission java.security.AllPermission;

};

For example :

grant codeBase
"file:C:/oracle/bpm12XX/*" { permission java.security.AllPermission;

};

or

grant codeBase
"file:/home/oracle/bpm12XX/*" { permission
java.security.AllPermission;

};

1. Save and close the file.
2. Restart the P6 application
   server.

Installing IAIK-JCE

IAIK-JCE is a Java Cryptography Extension
that has a set of APIs and can implement cryptographic functionality. It is
used for supporting additional security functionalities to the JDK. IAIK-JCE
libraries can be used to support higher level of encryption while
storing/transmitting sensitive information (for example, passwords) in P6 EPPM.

IAIK-JCE is installed when
you install P6 EPPM. To allow the P6 EPPM installer to recognize and install

Implementing Transparent Data
Encryption on the P6 EPPM Database

Transparent data
encryption (TDE) is an Oracle Advanced Security feature that is used for Oracle
Database encryption. TDE provides strong protection from malicious access to
database files by encrypting data before it is written to storage, decrypting
data when being read from storage, and offering built-in key management.

For more information about TDE, refer to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/advanced-security/index-099011.html.

For
TDE implementation instructions, refer to the readme.txt file in the P6 EPPM physical media or download at database\scripts\common\tde.

Database Administration

Background
Processes and Clean Up in P6 EPPM

Because clean up tasks can
be resource intensive and time consuming, in P6 EPPM, these tasks are initiated
by two background jobs that run on the database server using the background job
processes user name:

4
SYMON (System Monitor), responsible for running
procedures that take less than a few seconds to complete.

4
DAMON (Data Monitor), responsible for running
procedures that take longer than a few seconds to complete.

Both of these jobs are pre-configured with
default settings. Since the default settings are optimal for most environments,
you generally do not need to tune them. However, if you need to optimize your
background process further, you can use the background job processes user to
change the settings to tune the behavior of the background jobs for specific
environments.

The background process will:

4 Update the settings table with a record
each time a job runs.

4
Update the settings table with a HeartBeatTime record
for both the SYMON and DAMON processes. The background processes regularly
refresh the record to indicate that they are still running.

When you initiate background jobs:

4 Execute the stored procedure INITIALIZE_BACKGROUND_PROCS.

4 Locate the logs
of background process activity in BPLOGS
and SETTINGS tables within the         Primavera
database.         

PX Tables
Clean Up Procedure

To avoid operational problems for P6, PX
table entries are not automatically deleted when you delete data from P6
tables. You can use the following clean up procedure to clear the obsolete
entries in PX tables.

1) Run the
CLEAN_PX_DELETE stored procedure to purge obsolete entries in the PX tables:
For Oracle:

BEGIN

CLEAN_PX_DELETE();

END;

For a Microsoft SQL Server database:

USE [ddname]

GO

DECLARE @return_value int

EXEC @return_value =
[dbo].[CLEAN_PX_DELETE]

SELECT ‘Return Value‘ = @return_value GO

where ddname is the is your admin user name

Note: You can run this procedure any time you want or you can run it as
a database background job and schedule a specific time for it to run.

2) To delete
batch size and max delete from each table in a single run, run the following
queries:

Note: You can specify the delete batch
size and max delete from each table in a single run. Delete batch size is the
number of rows deleted before a commit. Max delete is the max number of rows
that will be deleted from a table in a single run. They have default values if
you do not provide your own. They‘re used to avoid resource problems with the
P6 operations.

4
insert into settings (namespace, setting_name, setting_value)
values (‘PxService.Cleanup‘,‘DeleteMaxSize‘,‘100000‘);

4
insert into settings (namespace, setting_name, setting_value)
values

(‘PxService.Cleanup‘,‘DeleteBatchSize‘,‘5000‘);

Database Administration

RDBMS Scheduler
Configuration

Since background jobs are initiated by the
job scheduler supplied by the RDBMS, you need to ensure that the scheduler for
your specific RDBMS is properly configured.

For
an Oracle Database: P6 EPPM uses DBMS_SCHEDULER to
schedule background jobs in Oracle. P6 EPPM 15 R2 does not need parameter
changes.

For a Microsoft SQL Server Database: P6
EPPM uses the SQL Agent service to automatically schedule background job
execution for Microsoft SQL Server. Background jobs handles the maintenance of
the utilities tables (for example, USESSION and REFRDEL). As part of background
jobs, the agent runs the SYMON and DAMON stored procedures at specific
intervals.

Database Settings Table

Settings Table Overview

The settings table contains name-value
pairs that configure the behavior of the background processes.

Namespace

The namespace component is a dot-notation
string representing a formal path to the parameter.

Setting Name

The setting name identifies the name of the
setting.

Value

Values in the SETTINGS table are
case-sensitive. The value portion of the pair can be:

4 String: The string data type is a free text value. The most common string
sub-type is interval which represents an interval of time by combining a
numeric portion with a unit portion as depicted in the table below.

4
Numeric: The numeric data type consists of any number.

4
Boolean: The Boolean data type can have one of two values: true or false,
where zero represents false and any non-zero number represents true. 4 Date: The date data type consists of dates.

Setting Example

The following is an example of a setting:

4 Namespace: database.cleanup.Usession

4
Setting Name: ExpiredSessionTimeout

4 Value: 2h (two hour
interval)          

Database Administration

Reading
Setting Values

You can configure settings through the
Settings API Procedures. These procedures are similar to registry or INI file
procedure calls.

Reading Settings Values

Use the following SETTINGS_READ_*
procedures to determine the current value of specific settings:

4
SETTINGS_READ_STRING(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default) 4
SETTINGS_READ_DATE(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default)

4
SETTINGS_READ_NUMBER(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default) 4
SETTINGS_READ_BOOL(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default)

Using Code to Read Setting Values
for Oracle

The following code snippets for the Oracle
Database demonstrate how the SETTINGS_READ_* procedures read the setting
values.

To retrieve the value of the KeepInterval
setting in Oracle:

1) Use the following code:

SQL> variable vset varchar2(255)

SQL> exec
settings_read_string(:vset,‘database.cleanup.Usession‘,
‘ExpiredSessionTimeout‘);

2. The following message should appear:

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> print vset

Using Code to Read Setting Values
for Microsoft SQL Server

The following code snippets for the
Microsoft SQL Server database demonstrate how the SETTINGS_READ_* procedures
read the setting values.

To retrieve the value of the KeepInterval
setting in SQL:

1)   
Use the following code:

declare @vset varchar(255) exec settings_read_string @vset

OUTPUT,‘database.cleanup.Usession‘,‘ExpiredSessionTimeout‘ print @vset

2)   
The following message should
appear:

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> print vset

Writing
Setting Values

Use the SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING procedure to
set the value of a specific setting:

SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING(new
value,namespace,settings_name);

Using Code to Write Setting Values
for Oracle

The following
code snippets for Oracle Database demonstrate how the

SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING procedure sets the
value of the ExpiredSessionTimeout setting to twelve hours.

To set the value of the
ExpiredSessionTimout setting to twelve hours in an Oracle Database:

1)   
Log into SQL *Plus using
privuser as your user name.

2)   
Run the following statement:

SQL > exec SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING

(‘12h‘,‘database.cleanup.Usession‘,‘ExpiredSessionTimeout‘);

Using Code to Write Setting Values
for Microsoft SQL Server

The following code snippets for Microsoft
SQL Server databases demonstrate how the SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING procedure sets
the value of the ExpiredSessionTimeout setting to twelve hours.

To set the value of the
ExpiredSessionTimeout setting to twelve hours in a Microsoft SQL Server
database:

1)   
Open the Query Analyzer/SSMS
and connect as privuser.

2)   
Select the P6 EPPM database,
then run the following statement (using 12 hours as an example):

exec SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING
‘12h‘,‘database.cleanup.Usession‘,  ‘ExpiredSessionTimeout‘

Tracking
Background Job Execution

You can track the
execution of background jobs by monitoring the high level status settings or by
inspecting the BGPLOG table.

High Level Status Settings

Each time a job
runs it will update the SETTINGS table for the setting_name = ‘HeartBeatTime.‘

The job can update this
value multiple times during the execution. You can monitor the maximum
difference between this time and the current date to ensure that the job is
running promptly. Refer to the High Level Status Settings table below for
information about the HeartBeatTime setting.

The BGPLOG Table

You can also
track the execution of background jobs by inspecting the BGPLOG table. The
BGPLOG table holds detailed entries from the background processes including
informational, elapsed time, and error entries. Refer to the BGPLOG Table
Descriptions for information about what this table contains.

SYMON (System Monitor)
Procedures

SYMON runs simple P6 EPPM tasks on a quick
schedule. By default, the job runs every minute; the tasks assigned to this job
should take only a few seconds to complete on each run. Do not change the
scheduled run time (every minute) for this procedure.

Procedures performed by SYMON

The procedures run by SYMON perform these
tasks:

4
Processing the PRMQUEUE entries for Project Security by
queuing OBSPROJ updates to the PRMQUEUE table.

4 Marking expired USESSION records as
logically deleted.

Note: You can manually run queries to
assist you with tracking concurrent usage of P6 EPPM.

OBSPROJ_PROCESS_QUEUE Procedure

OBSPROJ_PROCESS_QUEUE processes the
PRMQUEUE entries for Project Security. It defers processing of OBSPROJ updates
by queuing the updates to the PRMQUEUE table.

Refer to the following table for
information about the settings associated with the OBSPROJ_PROCESS_QUEUE
procedure.

OBSPROJ_PROCESS_QUEUE Settings

USESSION_CLEANUP_EXPIRED
Procedure

USESSION_CLEANUP_EXPIRED logically deletes
USESSION records that have not updated their last_active_time based on the
Expired Session settings. Marking expired USESSION records as logically deleted
maximizes the number of module access logins that are available. Since it is
not cleaning up the underlying data (physically deleting rows), the task
completes quickly.

Values in the SETTINGS table control the
clean up of expired sessions. By default, although the clean up of expired
sessions occurs every two hours, the SETTINGS table does not contain a value
for this setting. Use the SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING (value, namespace, setting) stored procedure to change the
default clean up value.

For example,
setting the value to "2d" deletes expired sessions older than two
days.

Note: Oracle recommends that you set the
ExpiredLongSessionTimeout sessions to at least one hour longer than your
longest job. For example, if your longest job is a summarizer job that usually
takes 12 hours, you should set the value in the SETTINGS table to at least 13.

Refer to the table below for information
about the USESSION_CLEANUP_EXPIRED Settings.

USESSION_CLEANUP_EXPIRED Settings

Tracking Concurrent Usage of P6
EPPM

To track
concurrent usage of P6 EPPM, you can run queries against the USESSION and
USESSAUD tables to perform self-audits. See sample queries below.

Note: See DAMON (Data Monitor) Procedures (on page 51) for information on how to
set up the USESSAUD procedure. To ensure accuracy of these queries, run them
before physically deleting remaining USESSION records and cleaning up the
USESSAUD table.

4
Against the USESSION table, run the following query to
determine how many users are logged in at a given time:

select count(*) from usession where
delete_session_id is null

4
Against the USESSION table, run the following query to
determine how many users are logged into a specific P6 EPPM product at a given
time:

select count (*) from usession where
delete_session_id is null and app_name=‘P6 EPPM product name‘ where P6 EPPM product name
is the application abbreviation.

Note: You can view all available application abbreviations by running
the following query as an administrative database user: select
distinct(db_engine_type) from usereng

4
Against the USESSAUD table, run a query similar to the
following to determine how many users logged into P6 EPPM on a specific date
during a specified time range. You can alter the date, time range, and P6 EPPM
product as needed. The following example will search for all users who logged
into P6 Professional on February 17, 2010 between 9am and 10am: For an Oracle
database:

select * from usessaud where login_date
between to_date(‘17-FEB-10 09:00:00‘,‘DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS‘) and
to_date(‘17-FEB-10

10:00:00‘,‘DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS‘) and
app_name=‘Project Management‘

For a Microsoft SQL Server database:

select * from usessaud where login_date
between

‘2010-02-17 09:00‘ and ‘2011-02-17
10:00‘ and app_name=‘Project Management‘

Tips

See
"Counting Users" in the P6 EPPM
System Administration Guide for information on counting users and how to
view the total number of licenses assigned for each module.

DAMON (Data Monitor) Procedures

The second database job is
the DAMON data monitor job. The DAMON job runs the majority of the background
processing and is responsible for running background clean up processes
required by the application that can potentially take a relatively long time to
run.

Oracle and DAMON

By default, DAMON runs
every Saturday. It uses the Oracle DBMS_SCHEDULER package to schedule the jobs,
and an Interval setting controls the schedule and accepts the same parameters
as the DBMS_SCHEDULER interval. For more information, refer to your Oracle database
documentation.

Microsoft SQL Server and DAMON

By default, DAMON runs every Saturday. You
can set it to run every two weeks or on a specific day. To run DAMON every two
weeks, use the following command to set the interval: -eg 2W

To set DAMON to run on a specific day, use
the following setting under namespace:‘Database.background.Damon’
DayOfWeek

DAMON Procedures  DAMON cleans the:

4 BGPLOG table containing the background
logs.

4 REFRDEL table.

4
PRMQUEUE table.

4 Remaining USESSION records.

4 Logically deleted records.

4 PRMAUDIT table.

4
USESSION audit table (USESSAUD).

You can also
dynamically extend DAMON functionality via the user-defined procedure,

USER_DEFINED_BACKGROUND.

BGPLOG_CLEANUP Procedure

This procedure keeps the BGPLOG table at a
reasonable size. The default cleanup interval is 5 days which will result in a
table size of about 54,000 records.

Refer to the following table for
information about the settings associated with the BGPLOG_CLEANUP procedure.

BGPLOG_CLEANUP Settings

REFRDEL_CLEANUP Procedure

This procedure deletes records from the
REFRDEL table. REFRDEL_CLEANUP runs based on the frequency of data_monitor_job,
which has a default frequency of one week. Alternatively, you can run
REFRDEL_CLEANUP by itself if needed.

Refer to the following table for
information about the settings associated with the REFRDEL_CLEANUP procedure:

REFRDEL_CLEANUP Settings

REFRDEL Bypass Procedure

The REFRDEL table maintains a list of deleted records from P6 database tables.
However, when an entire project is deleted, a large amount of detailed delete
records can be inserted into the REFRDEL table resulting in the potential for downstream performance
degradation when joins are made to the REFRDEL table.

The REFRDEL Bypass procedure is an
alternative to inserting REFRDEL records
for tracking delete records on a large scale. This procedure bypasses the REFRDEL table and simply adds a single delete record for a deleted project
and project ID.

By default, the REFRDEL BYPASS procedure is
set to 0 (zero).

To enable REFRDEL Bypass, execute the
following procedure and set to a non-zero value:

SQL> exec
SET_REFRDEL_PROJECT_BYPASS(1);

Database triggers
check for the value of the REFRDEL BYPASS value and process accordingly.

Note: The bypass procedure is meant only
for a PROJECT DELETE operations.

CLEANUP_PRMQUEUE Procedure

This procedure deletes records from the
PRMQUEUE table based on the value of the KeepInterval setting. The remaining
settings are similar to the REFRDEL_CLEANUP.

Refer to the following table for
information about the settings associated with the CLEANUP_PRMQUEUE procedure:

CLEANUP_PRMQUEUE Settings

USESSION_CLEAR_LOGICAL_DELETES
Procedure

This procedure
physically deletes all logically deleted USESSION records. This procedure does
not have settings associated with it: All logically deleted USESSION records
are cleared.

CLEANUP_LOGICAL_DELETES Procedure

This procedure
removes logically deleted rows based on the value of the KeepInterval setting.
Records in the database can be marked as deleted (logically deleted) by setting
the

DELETE_SESSION_ID
column to a non-null value. By default, records that were deleted more than 5
days ago will be deleted by this procedure.

Notes:

• The CLEANUP_LOGICAL_DELETES procedure will not delete records whose
  DELETE_SESSION_ID column is set to a negative value.
• This procedure will not delete records older than the earliest user
  session in USESSION, as determined by the minimum value in the login_date
  column.

Refer to the
following table for information about the settings associated with the

CLEANUP_LOGICAL_DELETES procedure:

CLEANUP_LOGICAL_DELETES Settings

PRMAUDIT_CLEANUP Procedure

If the auditing feature is enabled, this
procedure will physically delete records from the table based on the value of
the KeepInterval setting.

Refer to the following table for
information about the settings associated with the PRMAUDIT_CLEANUP procedure:

PRMAUDIT_CLEANUP Settings

CLEANUP_USESSAUD Procedure

The CLEANUP_USESSAUD
procedure deletes records from the USESSAUD table based on the KeepInterval
parameter setting. All other settings are similar to the REFRDEL_CLEANUP
procedure. The following table describes the settings associated with the
CLEANUP_USESSAUD procedure.

CLEANUP_USESSAUD Settings

USER_DEFINED_BACKGROUND
Procedure

This procedure is
an optional customer procedure that DAMON runs. This procedure does not have
settings associated with it.

Oracle Database Performance

You can modify several Oracle database
settings to improve the performance of your P6 EPPM database. Run the scripts
as described below after you create the database.

Grant access to the
V_$TRANSACTION view:

V_$TRANSACTION is a system view in Oracle
that lists the active transactions in the system.

GET_SAFETY DATE
(a procedure in the Project Management schema) accesses this view to get the
oldest start time of an active transaction. If the schema owner does not have
privileges to this view, then it returns a safety date using the USESSION
table. V_$Transaction tunes performance during a refresh action. USESSION
records the login time of the logged in user, whereas data in the
V_$Transaction view is recorded at a system level. The logged in user could be
logged in for more than an hour (as seen from the USESSION table), but the
V_$Transaction view has the current transaction datetime, regardless of the
time the user logged in.

Note: Access to the V_$TRANSACTION view
was built into the procedure to tune performance with refreshing operations;
however, third party functions could impact performance with database refresh
operations that use an older time in the V_$TRANSACTION view.

To grant access to
this view, connect to Oracle as SYS. Run the RUN_AS_SYS.SQL script located in
the \Database\scripts\common folder of the P6 EPPM physical media or download.

Gather statistics for cost-based
optimization:

Oracle 11g and
later supports only cost-based optimization, which relies on accurate
statistics to determine the optimal access path for a query. To gather the
appropriate statistics for the optimizer, which will improve database
performance, run the ORPM_STATS_GATHER.SQL script located in the
\Database\scripts\common folder of the P6 EPPM physical media or download.

Safe Deletes

The P6 EPPM database
normally handles restoring select deleted data using a safe delete setting.
While using P6 Professional, the Undo command (Edit, Undo) allows users to
restore certain types of data that have been deleted. Deleted data remains in
the P6 EPPM database until the CLEANUP_LOGICAL_DELETES procedure clears it
(after 5 days, by default).

See the P6 Professional Help for more
information about using undo.

Turning Off Safe Deletes

You can turn off safe deletes to save
storage space. Turning off safe deletes disables undo functionality and
instantly clears deleted data from the P6 EPPM database.

To turn off safe deletes:

1)   
Verify the current state of
your safe deletes setting. In the database, if the table

ADMIN_CONFIG has the following row, a
CONFIG_VALUE of ‘N‘ means turn off safe deletes.

CONFIG_NAME
= ‘SAFEDELETE.ACTIVE‘ and CONFIG_TYPE = ‘SETTINGS‘

Note: This is only loaded at startup. If
you change CONFIG_VALUE while a user is running P6 Professional, the setting
will not apply until the user restarts the P6 Professional session.

2)   
Once you have determined the
current state of your safe deletes setting, run one of the following
statements.

4
To turn off safe deletes for the first time:

INSERT INTO ADMIN_CONFIG (CONFIG_NAME,
CONFIG_TYPE, CONFIG_VALUE)

VALUES (‘SAFEDELETE.ACTIVE‘, ‘SETTINGS‘,
‘N‘)

4
To turn on safe deletes after it has been turned off:

UPDATE ADMIN_CONFIG SET CONFIG_VALUE =
‘Y‘ WHERE CONFIG_NAME =

‘SAFEDELETE.ACTIVE‘ AND CONFIG_TYPE =
‘SETTINGS‘

4
To turn off safe deletes after it has been turned on:

UPDATE ADMIN_CONFIG SET CONFIG_VALUE =
‘N‘ WHERE CONFIG_NAME =

‘SAFEDELETE.ACTIVE‘ AND CONFIG_TYPE =
‘SETTINGS‘

3)   
Restart the P6 server.

PRMAUDIT Auditing

PRMAUDIT  auditing permits you to log the edits,
additions, and deletions made by users of P6

EPPM
applications. When users make changes, they create a Data Manipulation Language

(DML) INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE statement. PRMAUDIT auditing uses the Data

Manipulation Language
(DML) INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement being executed against tables in the
database schema. Since every application table in the schema has its own
auditing trigger, you can log changes made to each table regardless of who made
the change or when the change was made. The database schema owner owns the
auditing trigger: you can bypass trigger execution.

Auditing Level Configuration

You can adjust the amount
of information that is logged by adjusting the audit level for each table. You
can refine the audit further by setting the audit level individually for
insert, updates, and deletes within each table.

Auditing Levels

Simple Configuration

You can use two configuration procedures to
provide simple control of the auditing feature:

4
auditing_enable(table_name,
level) 4 auditing_disable(table_name)

You can set the audit
level on an individual table or the same audit level for all of the tables.
However, the simple configuration procedures do not allow for setting
individual auditing levels for insert, update, or delete operations within a
table.

Examples for Oracle:

Use the following examples as a guide to
use the simple audit configuration procedures to control the auditing feature.

4 The following code snippet enables full auditing on all tables: exec
auditing_enable(null,3);

4
The following code snippet enables level one auditing
on the task table:

exec auditing_enable(‘TASK‘,1);

4
The following code snippet disables auditing on
PROJWBS:

exec auditing_disable(‘PROJWBS‘);

4 The following code snippet completely disables auditing across the
entire database: exec auditing_disable(null);

Detailed Configuration

You can configure auditing trigger behavior
by changing values in the settings table that enable or disable:

4
The auditing feature itself

4 The auditing of specific tables

4 The auditing of table insert, update,
or delete operations within each table

You can enable or disable the auditing
feature by using the database.audit.Enable setting. Use the settings_write_bool
procedure to enable/disable the auditing feature.

Oracle Example:

To enable the auditing feature in Oracle,
use the following code:

exec
settings_write_bool(1,‘database.audit‘,‘Enabled‘);

Microsoft SQL Server Example:

To enable the
auditing feature in Microsoft SQL Server, use the following code: exec
settings_write_bool 1,‘database.audit‘,‘Enabled‘

Options Setting

Each table‘s auditing settings are
controlled by the Options setting in each table‘s auditing namespace (for
example, database.audit.TASK). The Options setting is a three character string
with a numeric value in each character position representing the audit level
for insert, update, and delete.

The following
table provides some examples of the options setting:

SETTINGS_WRITE_STRING Procedure

You can change table audit settings using
the settings_write_string procedure.

Oracle Example:

To set the table settings to fully audit
insert and update operations but ignore any delete operations, use the
following code for Oracle:

exec
settings_write_string(‘330‘,‘database.audit.TASK‘,‘Options‘);

Microsoft SQL Server Example:

To set the table settings to fully audit
insert and update operations but ignore any delete operations, use the
following code for Microsoft SQL Server:

exec
settings_write_string ‘330‘,‘database.audit.TASK‘,‘Options‘

Note: Changes to auditing settings will
not appear immediately in the application. The program will need to close the
database connection and then reconnect to the database to get the new settings.

The Audit Table

Audit records are
inserted into the PRMAUDIT table. One record is inserted into the audit table
for each row changed in the database.

Note: Grant select privileges to the
administrative user on V_$SESSION to ensure correct values for several auditing
table values.

Session Auditing

Activity for the USESSION
table is audited with its own trigger and table. When an application user logs
out of the system they logically delete, or mark, their session record in the
USESSION table. One record is written to the USESSAUD table for each logout.
The format of the USESSAUD table mirrors that of the USESSION table. This audit
can be enabled using the usessaud_enable procedure and disabled using the
usessaud_disable procedure.

Column Audit Data

The data changes for each audit are stored
in the audit_info and audit_info_extended columns. The audit_info column
contains all the row changes as long as they do not exceed 4000 characters.
Changes over 4000 characters or any edit to a blob will be written to the
audit_info_extended BLOB column.

Data in the two audit_info
columns has a specific format. Each column audit within the data begins with
either ":O" (old data) or ":N" (new data) to distinguish
between the audit of the previous (old) or the changed (new) value (for BLOB columns
the data starts with :BLOBO or :BLOBN). Directly after this is the name of the
column in lowercase. Following the column name is the length of the audited
value in a fixed four character field. Finally the actual data is placed in the
audit record. Updates will have both an old and new value for each change.
Inserts will have only a new value and deletes only an old value.

The following is
an example of the audit record for TASK to change the task_code from ‘A1010‘ to

‘B102:‘

audit_info
=>:Otask_code: 5:A1010:Ntask_code: 4:B102

Using the
Data Pump Utility

The data pump utility is a java-based tool
that enables you to migrate data from a Microsoft SQL Server database to an
Oracle database.

Use the data pump utility to:

4 Import data into a newly created
database.

4
Repair a damaged database to correct database object
issues (such as constraints or views).

Do not
use the data pump utility to:

4 Convert the database type from EPPM to
PPM or from PPM to EPPM.

4 Upgrade from one database version to
another.

4
Import data into an existing database.

4 Correct data-specific issues.

4
Correct schema-related issues. It is not ideal for
large databases (more than 10 GB) due to the performance of the utility. For
larger databases, try first to manually resolve schema-related issues.

Before running
the data pump utility, you must first run a schema validation on the database.
See Running
a Schema Validation on the Database (on page 70) for details.

Run migrate.bat (with Windows) or migrate.sh (with
UNIX or Linux).

5)   
Follow the prompts on each
screen to provide connection information for the source database and the target
database.

Note: When using an Oracle schema, the
migration utility allows you to create new tables or use existing tables in the
target instance, but new schema users must be created through the migration
process. The ability to map to existing schema users is not currently available
through the migration process.

Launching Your P6 EPPM
Applications

After you have installed and configured
your P6 EPPM applications, you can launch your applications by doing the
following:

1)   
Go to the scripts folder where
you installed P6 EPPM (for example, C:\P6EPPM_1\scripts or /usr/P6EPPM_1/scripts).

2)   
If you are on Windows, launch
the start_Primavera.bat. If you are
on Linux, launch the start_Primavera.sh.

Note: You need to launch the file only
once unless you stop the server or need to restart the machine.

3)   
Open the HTML file you saved
when you finished your configuration and choose the URL for the application you
want to launch. 4) Login to the application.

Tips

4 If you are on Windows, you can use the
Start menu to launch your applications.

1. Go to Start, P6 EPPM.
2. Select the start_Primavera.bat file and wait for it to say running.
3. Select the application you want
   to launch and login.

4 If you want to
set up the WebLogic Admin Server and Managed Servers to run as Windows       Services,
see WebLogic‘s documentation.                

Starting and Stopping Managed
Servers

You have several
options for starting and stopping managed servers. Oracle recommends that you
use the startNodeManager file and start the server in the WebLogic
Administration Console (see Starting a Managed or Clustered Server
(on page 76)). However, you can view other ways to stop and start managed
servers at "Managing Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic
Server" at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e13708/overview.htm.

Note: You can use different ways to
start the managed servers, but you must ensure that the managed servers
recognize the arguments required for your application (for example, the
argument for where the bootstrap is located) and how the application
environment will start.

Starting a Managed or
Clustered Server

To start a
managed or clustered server in the WebLogic Administration Console:

Note: When starting/stopping an
environment using the node manager, the StartScriptEnabled
setting in the nodemanager.properties
file must equal true. Example: StartScriptEnabled=true

1)   
Run the startNodeManager file.

4
In Windows, the file is named
"startNodeManager.cmd" and is located in: weblogic_home\server\bin

4
With Unix or Linux, the file is named
"startNodeManager.sh" and is located in: weblogic_home\server\bin

2)   
Launch the WebLogic Administration Console.

Note: You can open the Administration
Console via a web browser using this address: http://serverIP:listenport/console.
The default listenport is 7001.

3)   
In the Welcome window, log in using the user name and password that you
created when you created your WebLogic domain.

4)   
In the Change Center pane of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit.

5)   
In the Domain Structure pane:

1. Expand Environment.
2. Click Servers.

6)   
In the Summary of Servers pane:

1. Select the Control tab.
2. Select the option for your
   managed server.
3. Click Start.

7)   
In the Server Life Cycle Assistant pane, click Yes.

8)   
In the Summary of Servers pane, click the ‘Start Refresh‘ icon in the
middle of the pane to see when the State
column says ‘RUNNING.‘

Your managed or clustered server will stop
running when you close the startNodeManager file.

You can also stop the managed or clustered
server in the WebLogic Administration Console.

1)   
Launch the WebLogic Administration Console.

Note: You can open the Administration
Console via a web browser using this address: http://serverIP:listenport/console.
The default listenport is 7001.

2)   
In the Welcome window, log in using the user name and password that you
created when you created your WebLogic domain.

3)   
In the Change Center pane of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit.

4)   
In the Domain Structure pane:

1. Expand Environment.
2. Click Servers.

5)   
In the Summary of Servers pane:

1. Select the Control tab.
2. Select the option for your
   managed server.
3. Click the down arrow to the
   right of the Shutdown button.
4. Click When work completes or Force
