depends on the database configuration, either of these steps may work.



Step A.

go to 'All Programs'' --> 'Microsoft SQL Server' --> 'Configuration Tools' --> 'SQL Server Configuration Manager'
SQL Server Config Mngr window will open. In the right hand site of the window you will see different data bases. Right Click on the SQL Server 'Primavera' and click 'start'.
Then try again to log in in Primavera.


or



Step B

go to 'All Programs'' --> 'Oracle Database 10g Express Edition' then click 'Start Database'

Then try again to login in Primavera.

Hai
U can also Try to Configure ur Database
Start->ControlPanel->Administrative tool->Data source(ODBC)-> System DSN->Primavera P6->Configure->Create Databse Alias-Select Driver Type Box Appear
Select Microsoft SQl Server
Click
Configure SQL Server Connection Box Appear
Host name Type->(Computername\Primavera)
Database Name->pmdb$primavera
Click Next
Enter Public login Information Box Appear

But this can be done only if u have SQL Server Installed

I tried the two steps as follows:
Step A.

go to 'All Programs'' --> 'Microsoft SQL Server' --> 'Configuration Tools' --> 'SQL Server Configuration Manager'
SQL Server Config Mngr window will open. In the right hand site of the window you will see different data bases. Right Click on the SQL Server 'Primavera' and click 'start'.
I right clicked on the sql server but couldn't find primavera

Step B
Start->ControlPanel->Administrative tool->Data source(ODBC)-> System DSN->
but found it empty.

Hello,

What Operating System are you using? Are you using Windows 7? If you are using Windows 7, please make sure that you are launching the installation with Administrator Privileges. To do this, you can right click the installation file and click the "Run As Administrator".

Also, please check if you are able to login to Methodology Management directly.

If you are able to login, Please check these following entries in the registry:
HKey_Current_User/Software/Primavera/Databases/MM/CurrentAlias
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Primavera\Databases\MM\Aliases

Check if there are discrepancies on the data in these locations and correct them if necessary.

If you are not even able to login to Methodology management directly, uninstall the application and reinstall it with Administrator Privileges and configure the database properly.

Hope this helps.
