Installing the Primavera Integration API

The version of the Primavera Integration API application that is required for Primavera to interact with Estimate depends on the version of the Primavera database server that you have installed. You must install the same version of all Primavera components. For example, if you installed version 8.1 of the P6 EPPM database server, you are required to install version 8.1 of the P6 EPPM Integration API.

The installation files for this application can be found on your Primavera installation media.

Use the following step-by-step at the server console where the Estimate Primavera Integration Server will be installed.
