Today we got the upgrade to P6. Just to let you share our experience.
Installation was done by the German PAR. This was a good decision. I don’t think that IT and we planners were ale to manage. Server installation (Web-Server, Job-Service, parameter settings, and database and MS SQL-Server upgrade) took about 90 minutes.
Client with stand-alone database: The only unusual: to clean the registry from SQL-Server entries after de-install and then reboot.
Result: More functions, this was advertised already. But more important for us: Much better performance and basic myPrimavera. It was an excellent service by the technician.
After some experience I can tell you more.
Regards to all
Dieter

    Guten Abend Dieter,

    It looks good reading from your that performances seems to be better than in P5.
    I have to do with P5 still several months I think. But I am impatient to get a feedback of P6 experience, particularly for "Summarize", "Maintain Baselines", two functions that make me turning crazy due to the time it requires, as well as the Tracking View (that I avoid to use till I have such performance trubles).

    Kindest regards.

    Salut Patricia
    We found some new processes on the database server: purge-delete and others. So the biggest difference we found was in database-related operations - probably for Summarize and Maintain Baselines as well; I’ll check.
    For your items: did you check the size of the log-file? Maybe it is too big.
    Have a nice day/Bonne journée

    Hi Dinesh,
    I remember that I completely failed to install P5 myPrimavera. I had to ask the support.
    Thats why I decided to let the PAR install P6.
    Regards
    Dieter

    Hi all
    Some more experience with P6:
    Data transfer was ok - no data lost or modified. Old personal layouts from a freelancer, who left the team, appeared as global layouts.
    All performance related to database is significantly better especially:
    - Summarize
    - Assign a code to many activities (>100) which needed some time is now less than 1 second
    - Copy projects - so it should be for maintain baselines as well
    - Import.
    For bad network - loss of connection from time to time - it’s as sensible as P5. So, when the error window appears --> more --> ignore and I can work again.
    Regards to all

    Hello Dieter,
    That looks good. I did not way, and I put pressure on my "dear Admin" to get this P6 asap. But I still have to wait for a while I think.

    Thanks.
    Patricia
