Overview
This section is intended primarily for IT administrators. It controls the QQube database engine, database location, synchronization role, and service settings.
Use care when changing these settings
Most installations should retain the default values. Change support-only options only when directed by a CLEARIFY engineer.
Database settings
| Setting | Guidance |
|---|---|
| 1. QQube Engine Name | Defaults to the computer name. Leave this value unchanged. |
| 2. Database Path | Controls the location of the QQube database file. The default path is suitable for most installations. |
| 3. Synchronizer Computer or Session | Identifies the one computer or session permitted to perform synchronization. |
| 4. Disable Shared Memory | Use only when directed by CLEARIFY Support. |
| 5. Advanced Server Options | Controls advanced database-engine behavior, including memory limits. Use only when directed by CLEARIFY Support. |
| 6. Database Service Controls | Controls the QQube database service. The service is configured automatically during installation and should normally remain enabled. |
Database path
The default database path is:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\CLEARIFY\QQube Tool\QQube.db
In a QQube Multi-User installation, the database may be moved to another local drive when additional storage or a different disk location is required.
Database location requirement
The database must remain on a drive physically attached to the same computer. Do not place it on a network share or another computer.
Database file options
Right-click inside the Database Path area to display the available database actions.
| Option | Action |
|---|---|
| A | Create a new, empty QQube database. |
| B | Rename the current QQube database. |
| C | Move the database to another location on the same physical computer. |
| D | Create a compressed copy of the database on the desktop for support or archival purposes. |
Synchronizer computer or session
A QQube network can have only one synchronization computer or session. In a Multi-User environment, this setting is established during the server installation and cannot be changed without reinstalling QQube.
Support-only options
Disable Shared Memory
Use this option only when directed by a CLEARIFY engineer.
Advanced Server Options
These options control advanced database-engine behavior, including memory usage. The example shown in the Configuration Tool limits the database engine to 50% of available memory.
Do not change these values unless directed by a CLEARIFY engineer.
Database service controls
The QQube database operates most effectively as a Windows service. The installer configures this automatically to support network access and faster communication with reporting applications.
Important distinction
The QQube database service does not communicate with QuickBooks. The Intuit SDK does not permit QuickBooks communication from an elevated Windows service.
