Using Q&R Query › Starting Q&R Query

Starting Q&R Query

You must first identify the Q&R Distributed Server that Q&R Query will use to access the mainframe. To do this, you will need Name (or IP address) and Port Number of the Q&R Distributed Server.

If you do not know this information, obtain it from your Q&R Administrator.

To start Q&R Query

1. Start Q&R Query by clicking the Windows Start button and selecting Programs, CA, Q&R Workstation, Q&R Query.

   The Start Q&R Query panel appears.

   Note: If Q&R is installed on the same machine as the Q&R Distributed Server, the Start Q&R Query panel will not appear so step 2 is not necessary. Q&R Query will automatically connect to the local server. If you need to connect to a different server, however, go to Options in the Q&R Query application, select Connect to a Q&R Distributed Server, and follow the procedures in step 2.

2. Enter the Name (or IP address) and Port Number of the Q&R Distributed Server and click OK. Settings are saved and will be the default values next time you enter Q&R Query.

   IP Address

   Specifies the IP Address of the system running the Q&R Distributed Server. The IP Address can be written in standard notation or it can be written as a DNS name.

   Port Number

   Specifies the port number used by the Q&R Distributed Server.

   Default: 20368

   Note: Do not change this value unless your Q&R Administrator instructs you to.

   Next, the Q&R Query Welcome panel appears and you are ready to use Q&R Query.
