  1. I cannot open primavera as it is showing unable to connect to database (oracle 10g). I tried all options and my IT team is saying that it has to be re-installed. I have unsaved programs. Is there any option to backup the programs so that I can use the program when I reinstall the primavera p6.

    Thanks & Regards
