COMPONENTS A list of the P6 components and references to resources, information, and files needed for installation will be presented in the following format: <COMPONENT NAME> Description Resource needed P6 Administrators Guide new installation instructions (by page number) Location of installation file(s) in media pack
DATABASE Description: A database is required to store the P6 project data. The database may be either an ORACLE or SQL SERVER database: The project management database (PMDB) stores the Project Management data used by Oracle Primavera software. It is a required database. (optional) During database creation, you may choose to also create database schema object for the optional Content Repository (document management) functionality in the same database as PMDB or two different databases, depending on sizing needs and performance considerations. If you will be using the Content Repository you must install the Content Repository schema objects. Instructions for this are included in the sections outlined below for database installation. (optional) The methodology management database (MMDB) stores project templates that can be used when creating new projects. You must install this database if you will be using the Methodology Management module. Resource needed: Database Administrator or equivalent to prepare the database system environment and to run the P6 Database Utility wizard to create the P6 schema in the database.

The Project Management desktop client enables users to access the project database to plan and control a large number of projects. End users may access the project management database via either a desktop client or the P6 Web Access client, however at least one Project Management Desktop Client must be installed for user account access administrative purposes. (Optional): Methodology Management desktop client enables user to access the optional Methodology Management database to create project templates. NOTES: (Distributed) Job Service is installed with the Client Applications installer and may be installed during a client installation or may be installed separately. [See (Distributed) Job Services component description below.] The Desktop Clients are designed to be used when connecting via a LAN connection from the workstation to the database. If users are accessing over a WAN connection, options are to implement the P6 Web Access client , or use the Desktop Client in a Citrix environment, or use Compression Server (Oracle only, see Additional Components section below.)
Resource needed: Desktop Administrator or equivalent to install the Oracle database client and P6 Desktop client. P6 Administrators Guide new installation instructions: Pre-Installation Overview on page 260 Installation on page 263 Location in Media Pack: \Client_Applications\setup.exe, chose Primavera Client Applications P6 WEB ACCESS Description: P6 Web Access is a java based web application that enables end users to access the project database to plan and control a large number of projects. A java web application server is required for implementing P6 Web Access. (Oracle WebLogic, JBoss, or IBM WebSphere) (Optional) The Content Repository allows users to collaboratively share and manage documents in P6 Web Access. The Workflows Repository helps users to keep track of project requests. In
10
order for P6 Web Access users to utilize the enhanced document management and the project request functionalities, the Content and Workflows Repositories must be installed. End users may access the project management database via either the P6 Web Access client or a desktop client, however at least one Project Management Desktop Client must be installed for user account access administrative purposes. NOTE: (Distributed) Job Service runs on-the-fly jobs for some of the P6 Web Access functionality and is therefore a required component for P6 Web Access implementations. See (Distributed) Job Service component description. Resource needed: System administrator or equivalent (optional) Database Administrator to run the database schema creation scripts for content workflow repository if this component is being used.

Although not required for P6 Web Access, precompiling helps to reduce the amount of time it takes for users to load P6 Web Access pages for the first time.
Additional information on access URLs, client browser settings, and using the Administration Application are also included in this chapter of the P6 Administrators Guide. Location in Media Pack: P6 Web Access installer creates the P6 home directory contents required for deployment: \Web_Access\win\Disk1\install\setup.exe, or equivalent for your java server platform (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris) PROGRESS REPORTER Description: P6 Progress Reporter consists of the Progress Reporter client on the front end, the database server that contains your projects on the back end, and the application server hosting P6 Progress Reporter files in the middle, providing a link between Progress Reporter clients and the database.

P6 facilitates project communication among team members across the organization by providing two types of interfaces for P6 Progress Reporter: a Java Web Start version and a Web Browser version. The Web Browser version is optional, depending on your configuration.

JOB SERVICE Description: A database client (Oracle or SQL SERVER) must be installed and configured for database connectivity on each desktop client workstation connecting to a database. The (Distributed) Job Service is a Windows service that performance two functions: 1) Users can create jobs in the Project Management module and have (Distributed) Job Service run the jobs on project data at preconfigured intervals. 2) (Distributed) Job Service runs on-the-fly jobs for some of the P6 Web Access functionality. Job details are stored in the central project management database. The (Distributed) Job Service periodically reads the database and performs jobs as directed. NOTES: This service must run on a server that has a constant connection to the database server. (Distributed) Job Service may not be installed on a workstation that is shut down at the end of the day. Each database may only have one Job Service configured to run its jobs. However, Distributed Job Service is an extension of the Job Service that enables a controller machine to manage multiple servers running job services for one database. Job Service is installed with the Client Applications installer and may be installed during a client installation or may be installed separately, as desired.

P6 Industry Types
P6 requires you to choose an industry during database setup and application installation. The industry type that you choose determines the terminology and default settings that display in P6. The following table lists each industry type and its corresponding terminology and default settings. When prompted during installation procedures, choose the option that best matches your industry. Oracle recommends, but does not require, that you use the same industry for each database or application installation.
