Primavera P6 Tab

PM Compass needs the connection information in order for the Oracle Primavera P6 integration to work.

Warning: You should not change the Primavera P6 URL or database after you have configured fields in User Defined Data. If the new database is not a recent of copy of the current database, you can perform limited testing; however, the integration will most likely fail and you will not be able to save changes in User Defined Data or the Project Form View until all data differences are resolved.

Web Service URL

Enter or edit the web service URL for the Primavera P6 connection. For example, http://<MyP6WebServer>:8206/p6ws.

If you require a secure connection to the P6 server, an https connection is required.

Username

Enter the Primavera P6 application username related to the selected database. The login identified here must have access to all projects. This is the login that PM Compass will use to access Primavera P6 web services when reading and writing to Primavera P6 projects.

This user is not necessarily the same as the logged in PM Compass user. The PM Compass user can view all Primavera P6 projects in PM Compass and doesn't need any access rights to Primavera P6 order to see the schedule projects.
