Hi Aryan



As far as I know you need the server connection to install the API.

Do you have local admin rights?

Does P6 work with the server/database you’ll need the API?



Send me a private message with the error codes. Maybe I can help.

But I’m afraid, the main reason are access right --> your IT.

Hi Dieter,



I tried to read the Adminguide but I don’t really get the point how to install without the server connection. Can you guide me how to do it?



Thank you & Regards,

Of course you can be connected to any database - with appropriate access rights - from your stand-alone installation.

You’ll have to know the name of the server and of the database. How to do this is descriced in the Admin Manual.

Hi Dieter,



Thank you for the info. I thought I can be connected to the database with standalone installation.



Thank you & regards,

Hi Aryan



If this already happens during installation, most probably you have no local administrator’s right. You need it, because installation procedure writes into the registry.



There is an easy way to check if you have those rights: move your mouse onto "Start" in the lower left corner of your screen --> right button --< bottom line equal to "Explorer all Users", then you have them and there is another reason; if not, contact your IT.



Thoses SQL... are services.



Good luck!

Hi Dieter,



You are correct, it was a stand-alone installation.



My problem is I cannot connect to database during the installation.



What are all these Server?



- SQL-Server (Primavera)

- SQL-Server Browser

- SQL-Server Full Text Search

- SQL-Server VSS Writer



Is there any way how to configure the database or any additional information that you can advice?



Thank you & Regards,

I assume it was a stand-alone installation on your pc.



Did you start the SQL-Server before - and all required services?

- SQL-Server (Primavera)

- SQL-Server Browser

- SQL-Server Full Text Search

- SQL-Server VSS Writer



Good luck1



Dieter
