Connecting the Content Repository to P6 R15.1

About Connecting the Content Repository:

Oracle Document:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E61144_01/English/Install_and_Config/Admin_PDF_Library/connecting_the_content_repository_to_p6.pdf

Architecture:

On this model, Documents functionality is a important Core Enterprise Functionality. Having a content repository integrated with P6 can turn cluttered, unstructured content into organized assets by making it easier to catalog, access, search, and reuse documentation.

This guide will tell you how to:

Configure Oracle Webcenter Content Core Capabilities (WCCC) when you install it.
Set your content repository settings in the Primavera P6 Administrator to connect your content repository to P6.

About Content Repository Authentication Modes:

P6 EPPM offers two content repository authentication modes. You can configure authentication
for either single user authentication or multiple user authentication. In single user authentication
mode, all P6 EPPM users access the repository using a single administrator user login that is set
during repository configuration. In multiple user authentication mode, each P6 EPPM user is
authenticated based on their individual login.

Single User authentication mode is useful when you want users to have full access to the content
repository through P6 EPPM without having to maintain an equivalent list of users for both P6
EPPM and the repository. This allows a repository administrator to maintain one set of credentials
for the repository without having to share those credentials with all users. Single user
authentication is also useful for quickly setting up test repositories that testers can access with
ease.

Multiple User authentication mode is the default mode. Multiple user authentication mode
provides increased security by restricting content repository access on an individual user basis.
Because it uses native auditing fields it also allows a clear audit of who has created and modified
files.

On this guide, I choose Multiple User authentication mode.

Configuring the Content Repository for P6:

Configuring WCCC to work with P6

1.(required) Establish a Trusted Connection to the P6 EPPM database by adding the P6 EPPM machine name or IP address as a trusted server in the WCCC server's configuration file.

[wccc@PTUD-VM01-2 ~]$ cd fmw/user_projects/domains/wccc_domain/ucm/cs/config/
[wccc@PTUD-VM01-2 config]$ vi config.cfg

Note:

192.168.2.133: IP of P6 EPPM database server

192.168.2.156: IP of WCCC server.

Reboot the WCCC server.

2. Enable Framework folders. The Framework folder interface is not enabled by default. To enable it, see http://vtgdb.blogspot.com/2015/09/enable-framework-folders-for-wccc.html

3. (required) Create a P6 EPPM Security Group in WCCC and grant the appropriate rights( read, write, delete) for P6 EPPM users.

4.(required) Create an P6 EPPM documents home folder on the WCCC server by adding unique path to the root folder.

Details see
