Starting QIndex Manually

If you did not set up QIndex to start automatically when you boot your QIndex workstation or when you log on to Horizon at your QIndex workstation, you need to start QIndex manually at the beginning of each day. (For information on setting up QIndex to start automatically, see Starting QIndex Automatically.)

You start QIndex manually from a command line. You can minimize the command window you start manually, but do not close it. QIndex stops when you close the command window.

To start QIndex manually

1 Log in to Horizon.

Note: You can start QIndex from a command line without starting Horizon, but you need to specify the “spud” parameters and the queue (/sserver/uuser/ppassword/ddatabase/qqueue) from the command line after entering the path to the QIndex.exe.

2 Do one of these options:
If you want to start QIndex from the navigation bar, activate the QIndex menu process that you set up.

(For instructions on adding QIndex to the navigation bar, see “Adding an Application to a Folder” in the “Customizing the Navigation Bar” chapter of the Launcher Configuration Guide.)

Do not close the QIndex window until you want to stop QIndex. The task is finished.

If you want to start QIndex from a command line, open the command prompt and continue with step 3.

For instructions on opening a command prompt, see your operating system user’s guide.

3 Enter the path to the QIndex.exe stored on your database, and assign a queue to this QIndex:

Drive:\Horizon Folder\QIndex executable /Queue for this QIndex

For example, enter this:

E:\Horizon70\QIndex.exe /q1

These are the sample variables in this path:

Parts of the Path

Description

Drive

The drive where your Horizon executables are stored.

Horizon Folder

A subdirectory in the drive where Horizon is stored.

QIndex executable

This is the QIndex.exe stored in the Horizon folder.

/Queue for this QIndex

This assigns the queue. Enter a space before the forward slash ( / ).

You can minimize the command window that is running QIndex, but do not close it.
