Installing And Updating DataIf you chose to install Experian QAS Data on the final product installation screen,follow the on-screen instructions to install the data. Alternatively, you can run thedata installer from the CD at a later date. To ensure that all datasets arecompatible, all data CDs for a country must be the same version, and should beinstalled at the same time.A set of files is installed for each dataset you need to support. For example, thereare four data files installed for Australia: aus.dts, aus.tpx, aus.zlx and aus.zlb.Before you begin the data installation process, you should ensure that youhave the despatch note that is supplied with QAS Pro. The despatch notecontains all of the licence keys for each dataset that you have purchased.When you install data for the first time, you are prompted to insert the licencekey for each dataset that you want to install. For more information aboutlicences, see the Licence Manager section of the Configuration Editor onlinehelp.WindowsTo install or update data on Windows, follow these steps:1. Insert the first CD-ROM or the DVD into the relevant drive, click the Startmenu and select Run.2. In the dialog box that appears, type d:\setup, where d is the drive letter foryour CD-ROM or DVD drive, and press Enter.3. Follow the instructions on the screen to install new or replace existingdatasets.UNIXYou should copy all files from the CD-ROM or DVD data folder. Data files must bein lower case and in the following format: usa.zlx, usa.dts, usagcd.dap.The first time that you carry out a data update, you will need to addInstalledData and DataMappings settings to the qawserve.ini file.10
The qawserve.ini file is located in the apps folder. Open the file using a plain texteditor such as vi or emacs. Under the [QADefault] section, locate the settingsInstalledData and DataMappings. These settings contains a list of thedatasets you have installed. See "Dataset Installation Settings" on page 195 formore information.Add a line to each setting for each new dataset that you are installing, or updatethe path for any dataset you are updating.Installing USA Names Data On UNIXUnited States with Names data is supplied on four CDs by default, but may alsobe supplied on DVD.If you are installing this data from a DVD, you should copy the relevant files fromthe data folder. Data files must be in lower case and in the following format:usa.zlx, usa.dts, usagcd.dap.If you are installing this data from a CD, you must re-assemble theusanam.ads.00x files from all CDs after installing. This means that you cannotsimply copy the required files from a subfolder on the CDs to the appropriatefolder on your computer. Instead, QAS Pro for UNIX includes a shell script thatautomates the copy and reconstruction process, and ensures that you enter theproduct and data CDs in the correct order. In addition, the script will warn if youare overwriting files, and will remove part-constructed files if you choose toabandon the installation.To install the United States with Names dataset from a CD on a UNIX platform,follow these steps:1. Using the command line prompt, locate the contents of the first data CD.2. Run the following command:sh qascopydata [destination] [source]The source for the data files is optional. The shell script will assume that theyare in numbered subdirectories within the current working directory, and willprompt for a new source if a numbered subdirectory is not found; for exampleif you need to change the CD.3. The shell script installer will check whether files already exist in thedestination folder and will warn the user if they do, giving the option to deletethem and continue or to abort the process.11
