| Problem: | What are the default Database Configuration settings for Primavera Project Management 5.0 and P6 (Project Management 6.0 or 6.1) Standalone? |
| Fix: | Click ‘Yes‘ to configure. Enter a user-defined Database alias. NOTE: This is typically the same as the database name. Select the driver type. NOTE: 5.0 standalone uses Microsoft SQL Server/MSDE.
Enter the Database Host name. <machinename>\primavera. NOTE: ”\primavera” represents the SQL instance that is created upon installation of 5.0 standalone. “localhost\primavera” may also be used. Enter the Database name. NOTE: “pmdb$primavera” is the name of the database that is created upon installation of 5.0 standalone. “$primavera” would not be needed if connecting to any other database.
Enter the Public Login Information. Username=pubuser. Password=pubuser. Public Group ID=1
Click ‘Next’ to validate connection.
Click ‘Finish’.
