To install an XE3 Server at a site where Q++Studio was never used:

1)Make sure that the computer on which you install the Server meets all the configuration requirements.

2)Download the file XE3 server installation files.

3)Open the file XE3_Setup.zip which was downloaded in the previous step, and extract the Q++ServerXE3 folder to the D:\ drive.

4)Add the program D:\Q++ServerXE3\Q++Server32.exe to the list of applications which automatically start with Windows.

5)Start the application server (this will automatically start the database server).

6)Load the database settings file nxServer3x32.nxdbworksettings.init_D which is located in the folder D:\Q++ServerXE3\DbEngine\.

7)Change the database alias DATA to the folder D:\Q++ServerXE3\Database\.

8)Before closing-down the database server's UI window, note the IP address of the database server.

9)On each of the workstations, open the file C:\Qpp\Qpp.ini, locate the line beginning with ServerName_XE3= and change it to ServerName_XE3=ALTEREGO_XE3@X.X.X.X, where X.X.X.X corresponds to the IP address you noted in the previous step (if no such line exists, add it just below the line [Q++]).

You should now be able to launch Q++Studio from any of the workstations.

 

If, at any stage, you encounter any difficulties, contact technical support.
