Primavera P6: ridurre il DB locale PPMDBSQLite per velocizzare l’esecuzione dell’applicazione
Ciao come va? Se sei arrivato fino a qui potresti avere bisogno di velocizzare l’esecuzione dell’applicazione Oracle Primavera P6.
La breve guida è riferita alle installazioni con il DB locale di Primavera PPMDBSQLite.db e alla versione P6 Professional R16.2 (x64) anche se questa procedura può funzionare anche con altre versioni.
Per le problematiche riferite a DB Oracle Server in rete chiedete supporto al vostro amministratore IT.
Veniamo al problema, in pratica per ordine e per velocizzare P6 ho rimosso molti progetti dal Primavera ma la dimensione del DB non è mai diminuita.
Come vedi sotto, nel corso del tempo avevo fatto delle copie de DB e si può vedere come la dimensione sia sempre aumentata, seppure abbia a volte cancellato intere annualità di progetti.
Questo penso che sia il problema per cui quando copio un Progetto, o quando ne importo uno grande il processo di import non mi va mai alla fine, o fallisce oppure devo spegnere il programma e riavviare.

Così come altri database, sqlite non riduce le dimensioni dei datafile automaticamente quando vengono cancellati i dati. Quantomeno non lo fa per default.
Per risolvere il problema prima effettuati una copia di sicurezza de DB stesso, chiudi P6, e poi connettiti al database con la console di amministrazione, ovvero lanciando il comando:
sqlite3 NomeDB
sqlite3 PPMDBSQLite.db
Una volta connesso, va lanciato il comando
VACUUM;
che comprime il datafile
Alla fine si esce dalla console con il comando
.q
Purtroppo probabilmente non hai quel comando disponibile sul PC, il comendo sqlite3 deriva da una installazione sqlite stand alone che esula dall’istallazione di primavera P6 che ha il driver del DB già al suo interno.
Per cui ho installato il pacchetto:
sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3290000.zip
(1.71 MiB) A bundle of command-line tools for managing SQLite database files, including the command-line shell program, the sqldiff.exeprogram, and the sqlite3_analyzer.exe program.
(sha1: f009ff42b8c22886675005e3e57c94d62bca12b3)
Dal sito
https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
A.C:\Users\ofgod>cd \Users\ofgod\Downloads
C:\Users\ofgod\Downloads>cd sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3290000
C:\Users\ofgod\Downloads\sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3290000>sqlite3.exe \TEMP\PPMDBSQLite.db
SQLite version 3.29.0 2019-07-10 17:32:03
Enter “.help” for usage hints.
sqlite> VACUUM;
sqlite>
sqlite>
sqlite> .q
C:\Users\ofgod\Downloads\sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3290000>
Ora il file è quasi la metà come dimensione e spero siano stati ricostruiti anche gli indici.
Adesso P6 lavora meglio ed è veloce come ala prima installazione vuota dello stesso applicativo.
Buon lavoro, ricorda prima di fare questa operazione esporta e svuota progetti non più recenti da P6,
Chiudi P6
Fai una copia di sicurezza del PMDBSQLite.db
Lancia sqlite3 e poi i comandi interni ricordando il ; dopo lo statemend VACUUM.
Buon lavoro
A.D.D.
