You can use the Q++Studio worldwide public holidays database updater to ensure that your Q++Studio system has all the most up to date rules of the worldwide public holidays.

Launching the Updater

To update the XV4 version of the Q++Studio Worldwide Public Holidays Database:

1.Make sure that you are running Q++Studio build 23823 of March 17th, 2023, or above. If not, please run the main program updater.

2.Double-click on the World Holidays updater desktop shortcut (as shown on the right).

Missing Icon

If you cannot find the above icon on your desktop, you can launch the updater manually from:

C:\Q++StudioXV4\Utilities\Q++WorldHolidaysUpdaterXV4.exe

Where to Run the Updater

Contrary to the main program updater, which needs to be run once per workstation, regardless of the number of databases, the above Worldwide Public Holidays Updater needs to be run once per database, from any workstation, regardless of the number of workstations at your site.

Next Steps

Remember that applying the Q++Studio Worldwide Public Holidays Database updater only updates the public holidays located inside the Q++Studio Samples folder of the holidays manager.

To update any of the holidays that you may have copied from the Q++Studio Samples folder, you will need to use the holidays synchronization.

Logs

At the end of the worldwide public holidays update, a log overview of the changes is displayed. Once you close that Excel log file, you can always return to it and to past updates log which are saved in the Q:\Q++ServerXV4\Updates\WorldHolidays\ folder.

Download Errors

If your firewall and/or network settings prevents the Q++Studio worldwide public holidays updater from downloading the necessary data files, as shown in the message on the right, then you can use manual updating workarounds:

To avoid such a procedure, make sure that your network settings are set as described here.
