Download Primavera Professional from Oracle Primavera Cloud

Download and Install Primavera Professional

Oracle Primavera Cloud provides the ability to download the Primavera Professional desktop application for a Windows or macOS operating system. The Get Oracle Primavera Professional page contains instructions for selecting your operating system and downloading the application installation file.

When downloading, installing, and using Primavera Professional, consider the following:

• Access to Primavera Professional must be enabled before you can download and install it. See Configure Boundary Security Settings for more information (Oracle Primavera Cloud Help only).
• For Windows systems, the application is available in .zip format. For macOS systems, the format is .dmg.
• You must have the proper privileges to install applications on your operating system. If not, contact your administrator.
• Primavera Professional saves the previously used project and program information, as well as the server name, to the user's local directory, the location of which varies by operating system. Additional information that is stored includes, but may not be limited to, cache files and cookies.
• An activation code can be copied from the download page and pasted into Primavera Professional. The code ensures that your instance of Primavera Professional connects to the appropriate data center for your organization.
• You can use the same credentials to log in to both Primavera Cloud and Primavera Professional.
• If login fails, it means that a connection to the Primavera Cloud service cannot be established. This may be due to network connectivity issues or because you are behind a corporate firewall. You can configure proxy URL settings from the login screen by doing the following:
  • On Windows systems, press Alt to display the menu toolbar. Select Help, and then select Advanced Settings to configure proxy URL settings.
  • On macOS systems, the application menu is displayed at the top of the screen. Select Help, and then select Advanced Settings to configure proxy URL settings.

To download and install Primavera Professional:

1. In Primavera Cloud, in the header, select your username.
2. On the User menu, select Get Primavera Professional.
3. Select the Copy icon next to the displayed activation code to copy the code to your clipboard.
4. In the Select an operating system list, select your operating system.
5. Select Download to begin the file download.
6. When the download is complete, open the file to begin the installation process.
7. After Primavera Professional is installed, paste the activation code into the field, and then select Continue.
8. Enter your login credentials, and then select Sign In.

How to add an end date code for resources.

You can avoid pre-populating all of the code values and just add them on the fly. First create a Code called End Date in Summary & Settings (as described above). Do not create any code values under End Date (for now). Then add End Date as a column in your Resource List grid. When you go to assign a new end date to a particular resource, you can create a code value on-the-fly at the bottom of the popup dialog. Enter ‘29-Sep-20’ as the value name and ID. See below (I’m using Department as an example code.)

Manage Companies

The Manage Companies table in Primavera Administration enables you to manage companies for your applications. A company represents a logical container of users in Primavera Administration.

There are two types of companies:

• Owner company: An owner company has been created for you. A single owner company is required by Primavera Administration. You can modify certain aspects of the owner company (including the company full name and the password policy). It is not possible to delete an owner company.
• Partner companies: A partner company is a separate entity from the owner company that needs to access your applications. Examples of partner companies include vendors, resellers, subcontractors, suppliers, and other consultants. Partner companies are listed under the owner company on the left side of the Manage Companies page.

  When you add a partner company in Primavera Administration, you can also assign one or more applications to the company. If you assign Primavera Unifier, the partner company is also created within that application.

Click the Manage Companies tab to view the Manage Companies table.

Cause

This is caused by a defect in P6 EPPM.

A defect in the POPULATE_UACCESS stored procedure causes it to create 2 UACCESS records for the same proj_id which can result in a a unique constraint violation during login to P6 Professional by a non-admin superuser.  This was determined through the following bug request - Bug 27683951 - P6 PROFESSIONAL LOGIN ERROR "UNABLE TO CONNECT - PLEASE RUN THE DATABASE CONFIG"

Solution

This issue has been resolved, and the fix has been included as of release 18.4.  The latest patchset can be downloaded from:

• What Are The Latest Patch Sets For Primavera P6 Release 18 (Both PPM and EPPM Releases)?(Doc ID 2449247.1)

To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:

• Download and review the README documentation and prerequisites for the Patch Set.
• Ensure that you have taken a backup of your system before applying the recommended Patch Set.
• Apply the Patch Set in a test environment.
• Retest the issue.
• Implement the solution as appropriate on other environments.

Workaround Available

To workaround this defect (until P6 can be upgraded):

1. Recreate the populate_uaccess stored procedure to prevent more than one proj_id row being created in the UACCESS table. 
2. Remove any potential duplicate rows created in the OBSPROJ table as a result of the UACCESS stored procedure.

For low level steps to implement the workaround:

1. Download the following script for an updated copy of the populate_uaccess stored procedure (with fix):  populate_uaccess_fix.sql
2. Connect to the database as the schema owner (by default, ADMUSER)
3. Execute the script to recreate the stored procedure.  Note, this script can be run against any 18.x, 17.x, 16.x, 15.x, or 8.4 database
4. Rebuild the OBSPROJ table by completing steps outlined in the following knowledge base document - Doc id 908570.1 - How to rebuild the obsproj table

 

Note:  There is a 2nd article that ALSO must be run.  It contains a script by the same name (populate_uaccess_fix.sql) that should be run.  Run the populate_uaccess_fix.sql from this article, followed by the populate_access_fix.sql from Doc id 2452802.1.

After both scripts have been run, rebuild the obsproj table.
