  • Qit startup problems

    As Qit requires a minium java version of 1.6 it is mandatoy to start Qit with at least a Java 1.6 release.
    Running Qit on a machine with multiple java jdk's including older Java releases then 1.6 sometimes causes startup problems. When the default java version is an older version then the required 1.6 Qit may not find the necessary
    Java release.

    There are a few solutions to this problem, we will layout the common onces:
    1) Change your Windows behaviour that so the default java selected is the 1.6+ release
    Open up a command prompt and launch the 'java -version' command to verify if the java release is correct.
    If it is you can safely start Qit
    2) Change your Qit configuration to point to the correct Java installation. You can accomplish this by adding a qit.ini at the same location as your qit executable. with the following content:

    -vm
C:\Java\JDK\1.5\bin\javaw.exe

  • I wanna know which DQL query Qit used to obtain the values of a particular view
    You can simply hover on top of a tab and find the DQL used to obtain the dataset in the tooltip.

  • Is there an action to publish the Data Dictionary?
    You can publish the data dictionary of any docbase in your Qit configuration by simply right clicking on the principal docbase node and selecting the 'Publish DataDictionary' item.

  • Do I lose my query/config settings when I upgrade to a newer version.
    Not necessarily. You can simply install Qit 3.1 over an existing 3.0.x installation on your system. But first follow the following steps:
    • Take a backup of your installation (no surprise here)
    • Remove the qit jar libraries in the plugins folder
    • Install Qit via the installer in the same directory as your previous version
    Simply start Qit and you are done. There wont be any prompt for the DFC libraries and your configs are restored.
