vMedia/Q-LawE Setup

Overview

Connecting to a Q-LawE database is a very straight forward process and allows you to connect vMedia functionality to the Q-LawE system.

Procedure

To create a vMedia/Q-LawE connection, use the following procedure:

1. At the Master Control window, click the [DB Config] icon.

2. Click the [New Database] button. The New Configuration Database dialog box opens, displaying a default Filename and Directory.

 
 

3. Enter the database prefix. It can be up to six characters long. If more than six characters are entered, the prefix will be truncated to the first six. If fewer than six characters are entered, the name will be extended to six characters by padding with zeros. The proper file designator cf and sc will automatically be added to the name prior to file creation. The extension .dbf will automatically be assigned by vMedia.
 

*Note: The database prefix MUST match the Q-LawE database name (typically QLAWPR for production environment or QLAWTE for test environments). If you are unsure what the database name is it can be found in the upper left corner of the Q-LawE application when you log in.
 



4. Enter +QLAW for the Server or Instance Name.

5. The SQL Settings button will take you to a SQL Settings Screen which will allow you to manage the Q-LawE connection.

6. Click the [SQL Settings] button.

7. Locate and select the Prefs.dbf file for your Q-LawE installation and click the [Select] button.

 

8. Accept the settings by clicking on the [OK] button.

 

9. For the Full Path locations, accept the defaults or browse for your desired paths.



10. To create the image database and return to the New Configuration Database dialog box click [OK].

NOTES:
If an image database with the same name already exists, a prompt will appear. To overwrite the existing image database, click [Yes]. The old files will be overwritten with the empty image database.

The Configurator displays the new image database.
