prim29487:How to validate PMDB / MMDB 5.0 database schema?

NOTE: The schema validation utility requires admuser to have full DBA rights to function with an Oracle database. If logging in with ‘admuser’ (to Oracle) and Schema Validation crashes, please ask the Database Administrator to make sure that ‘admuser’ is assigned the DBA Role.

1. Download the following file: P5database.zip
   
   These files are the database files for 5.0 SP4/5 but the Schema validation utility is backwards compatible.
    


2. Unzip the file to a location on a local hard drive.
    


3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the \database folder created inside the folder used in Step 2.
    


4. Refer to the steps below, begin with Step 3.

If using the Validate Schema tool from Primavera 5.0 base release CD’s:

1. Insert: “CD 1″.
    


2. Open: Windows Explorer and navigate to following subfolder on CD 1:  \install\database
    


3. Run: ValSch.exe
    


4. Select the correct RDBMS type (Oracle, SQL Server or Interbase)
    
       
   
   
    


5. Complete the Login dialog box.  The Username and Password are the schema owner (Oracle default is Admuser, SQL default is Privuser).  Click: Connect
    


6. Set the schema preferences:
   
   Select the correct schema type.  (‘PM’ vs ‘MM’)
   

   IMPORTANT: Use the pull-down menu to set the ‘Choose Schema’ selection. 
   This would be identical to the ’Database Version Label is’ value.
