Installing Visual Query Planner

Visual Query Planner (runs only on Windows) is distributed as a setup file named MXVQP in the $SYSTEM.ZMXTOOLS subvolume. To install Visual Query Planner:

  1. Use FTP, the Receive File option, or FTP to download MXVQP to a Windows workstation.

    MXVQP is a binary file. If you use the Receive File option, select Binary but do not select Add CR LF. Specify SETUP.EXE for the local file name.

  2. Run SETUP.EXE. The InstallShield application guides you in installing (or removing) the Visual Query Planner executable files. By default, InstallShield places the executable and online help in the C:\Program Files\Hewlett Packard\NonStop SQL-MX folder. If you prefer, you can select a different installation folder.

  3. Delete SETUP.EXE if you want.

    Visual Query Planner requires the Microsoft ODBC DataSource Administrator (client), and MXCS to be configured and started to connect to SQL/MX. For more information about installing the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator, see the ODBC/MX Driver for Windows Manual.

    For more information about using Visual Query Planner, see the SQL/MX Query Guide, or see the Visual Query Planner Online Help in the Visual Query Planner.
