2 Technical Requirements

1.1 Client Desktop Requirements

The following table lists the minimum hardware requirements to run the Qbyte FM and Qbyte LMproducts. Please note that these are the minimum requirements and that the processor speed and amountof memory available will directly impact the performance of the software.

Hardware Item RequirementCPU 1 GHz or better

Memory 1 GB

Disk Space 1 GB

Monitor Must support SVGA 800*600

Video Card Super VGA

Software Item RequirementOperating System WinXP Professional, Windows 7

Oracle Client

9i or 10g client required for Qbyte Outlook9i, 10g, or 11g client required for Qbyte LMOracle client 11g with OLEDB provider forQbyte FM Spreadsheet Upload

Browser Internet Explorer 8/9 (32-bit only)

Java 1.6.0.29 or higher

Acrobat Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0 or higher

Implementing Qbyte FM or Qbyte LM (reporting) will require a java-enabled browser and Acrobat Reader.

Qbyte FM and parts of the Qbyte LM (reporting) applications are written using the Oracle InternetDeveloper Suite. The screens were developed using the Oracle Forms product and most reports weredeveloped with Oracle Reports. Qbyte LM was developed under PowerBuilder11 and Oracle Reports.While development of the reports is done within the Windows environment, for performance reasons thereports are run on the UNIX server.

To run Qbyte Outlook we must also install the Oracle 9i, or 10g Client (aka Oracle Net, SQL*Net). Thisis the networking software used by Oracle to communicate between the client application and the databaseinstance on the UNIX server. Qbyte LM requires either the Oracle 10g Client. Following is a list ofsoftware that must be installed prior to running the Qbyte FM, LM, and Outlook products.

2 Configuration

2.1 Configuring TNSNAMES

Now you need to edit the tnsnames.ora file. This file is by default located in theORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. After installation, this directory will be empty, but in thesamples directory you will see a couple of templates. If necessary, you can use these templates. It is verypossible that your Network Adminstrators will already have this file which contains all of the entries foryour organizations databases.

We will want to install the configuration information for the Qbyte databases.The necessary entries depend if you are using a VPN or a accessing Qbyte via an Internet connection(again, check with your Network Administrator). The entries will resemble the following.

# VPN-based connectionQPSAMPLE=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.25.4.7)(PORT=13062))

(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=QPSAMPLE.qbyte.com)))QTSAMPLE=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.25.4.7)(PORT=13062))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=QTSAMPLE.qbyte.com)))#OR# internet-based connectionQPSAMPLE=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=66.38.147.197)(PORT=13062))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=QPSAMPLE.qbyte.com)))QTSAMPLE=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=66.38.147.197)(PORT=13062))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=QTSAMPLE.qbyte.com)))

2.2 Testing Connectivity with SQLPlus

The easiest method to establish if you have installed everything correctly is to access the database utilizingSQLPlus.

Go to your Windows start buttonSelect the program Oracle -> Application Development -> SQL Plus

This will open a separate window asking for your UsernameLogin using the following format

username/password@QPSAMPLE - substitute the name of your databaseOrusername@QPSAMPLE - you will be prompted for password

If all is correct, you will be logged in to the database. Type in exit.

2.3 Checking to see if Provider is Registered

Create a test UDL file

On your desktop create a filename it oratest.udl

Click on the icon

Click on the Provider tab

Notes:

1) We usually see the Oracle Provider for OLE DBentry when using this method

2) On one occasion utilizing Windows 64-bit OS and Oracle 32-bit install, it did not appear. The

provider was available when doing the Spreadsheet Load. So, if you do not see the correct enty using

this test, it may be wise to test the Spreadsheet load. It may work.

This is what you would see if the Oracle Provider for OLE DBwas notinstalled

This is what you should see if Oracle Provider for OLEDBwas installed and registered correctly

3 Accessing the Database via the Spreadsheet Load

8/10/2019 fileField (5)

The Qbyte applications include a Qbyte developed batch queuing / scheduling / streaming software called

Job Submissions, a Java/ksh process capable of running different types of jobs (Oracle Reports, Pro*Cprograms, SQL*Plus scripts, stored packages, ksh scripts). Output is generated in PCL (text) format orPDF format. Job Submissions is configured for your specific environment by executing$APP_HOME/jobsub/install_jobsub, which will prompt you for information about your environmentand any features you may choose to enable:

Email notification when jobs finishPrinting of barcodes on specific reportsSetting the time of day when expired output will be removed from the system

4 Spreadsheet Deployment

Release 11.2 contains the following versions of Qbyte Spreadsheet Upload processes.

Transaction Data Entry, TDEU001.xls (version /main/73)Transaction Data Entry, TDEU002.xls (version /main/53)Production Reserves CONU028.xls (version/main/8)Cost Allocation Detail Upload, ADTU001.xls (version /main/24)

If this is the current version of the Cost Allocation Detail Spreadsheet being used, redeployment shouldnot be necessary. However, if you are upgrading from a release prior to 11.0.0, the above versions willneed to be redeployed to all users.

The spreadsheets have been tested under the following Excel versions:

Microsoft Excel 2003 (11.8307.8221) SP3Windows 7 (32-bit) and Microsoft Excel 2007 12.0.6654.5003 SP3Windows 7 (64-bit) and Microsoft Excel 2007 12.0.6654.5003 SP3Windows 7 (32-bit) and Microsoft Excel 2010 14.0.6112.5000Windows 7 (64-bit) and Microsoft Excel 2010 14.0.6112.500

Windows XP and Microsoft Excel 2010 14.0.4760.1000

If problems arise while running TDEU001, TDEU002 or ADTU001 on versions of Excel other than theones mentioned above, P2 Energy Solutions will attempt to resolve the problems on a best effort, timeand materials basis.

As a reminder, role security is present in the TDEU001.xls and TDEU002.xls templates. Users wishing toupload information from these spreadsheets must have either the PWSQL_61_TDEU_UPLOAD role orthe PWSQL_50_SUPER_USER role. In addition, role security is present in the ADTU001.xls

8/10/2019 fileField (5)

21/33




template; therefore, users wishing to upload information from this spreadsheet must have either thePWSQL_71_ALLOCATION role or the PWSQL_50_SUPER_USER role. Also, to view/update

vouchers uploaded using TDEU001/TDEU002, users require role PWSQL_63_TDES_VIEW_TDEU.Otherwise, the vouchers can still be viewed through TDQS001 (Transactions Data Query Screen).

Your desktop personnel should ensure the HOME0 entry in the desktop registry is pointed to OracleClient version 11.2 or greater.Generally, there are two different methods for deploying the Qbyte Spreadsheet Upload (TDEU) to eachuser:

TDEU001.xls

This spreadsheet can be found in the desktop directory where other executables reside for allclients except ASP clients;ASP clients can find the spreadsheet in the COMMON/PROD or COMMON/TEST directories.This version of the spreadsheet contains all of the formatting and coding embedded in thespreadsheet itself, which makes the size of this object approximately 819 KB. The disadvantageof using this object as your base spreadsheet is every time Qbyte changes something in thespreadsheet (Visual Basic code, comments, descriptions etc) each user must receive a new copy of

TDEU001.xls and use this new version as their working copy.

TDEU002.xls and TDEU002.xla

This spreadsheet and its add-in can be found in the desktop directory ($APP_HOME/desktop)where other executables reside for all clients exceptASPASP clients can find the spreadsheet in the COMMON/PROD or COMMON/TEST directories.The TDEU002.xls is an empty spreadsheet that is free of formatting and coding, which makes thesize of this object 489 KB. The subsequent add-in (TDEU002.xla) contains the formatting andthe coding that TDEU002.xls will use; which makes the add-in 819 KB. The advantage of usingTDEU002.xls and its add-in is the user can always keep TDEU002.xls as their base spreadsheet(unless Qbyte adds or removes columns) and the add-in can be used to accept the new formattingand coding changes. This is accomplished by putting the add-in on a network drive and when theuser opens up their spreadsheet the new add-in will be called.

The following items are reminders if TDEU002.xls and its add-in are used:

o Even though the user is using TDEU002.xls to launch their spreadsheet uploads; thesrc_module_id inserted into vouchers is still TDEU001.

o The new version of the TDEU002 spreadsheet should be loaded into a network drive

8/10/2019 fileField (5)

22/33




o Once the first user opens the new version of the TDEU002 spreadsheet and enables themacros, the add-in will be moved (not copied) to their local hard drive (for Windows XP this

will be copied to C:/Documents and Settings/User Id/Application Data and for Windows 7this will be copied to C:/Users /User ID/App Data/Roaming/Microsoft/AddIns) resultingin the add-in being removed from the common drive. This would mean other usersno longerhave access to the file from the common drive.

Some clients have created a program to ensure the add-in stays on a common network drive. P2Energy Solutions will be developing something similar to this in the future to ensure thedeployment of the add-in to users will work without having this problem. However, until P2develops this tool, clients using TDEU002 and the add-ins should copy the add-in to thecommon network drive as well as email the new add-in to all users. Then the users should copythe file onto their local hard drive (for Windows XP should be copied to C:/Documents andSettings/User Id/Application Data and for Windows 7 this should be copied to C:/Users /User

ID/App Data/Roaming/Microsoft/AddIns).

Important note:

Currently, Qbyte Online clients cannot use TDEU002.xls, as we are unable to deploy the add-inon the Citrix server.If your company is using either TDEU001.xls or TDEU002.xla/.xls, the newest version of thespreadsheet upload should be deployed using one of the above methods or new functionality in

the release may not work as expected.A reminder, if the versions of the spreadsheet have not changed, it is not necessary to re-deploythe spreadsheet .xls/.xla files.

ADTU001.xls

For Cost Allocation Detail, there is only one method of deploying the spreadsheet. Thisspreadsheet is located in the desktop directory where other executables reside for all clients exceptASP clients; where it can be found in the COMMON/PROD or COMMON/TEST directories.

Merge functionality

8/10/2019 fileField (5)

23/33




To make the deployment of the TDEU001.xls and TDEU002.xls templates easier, there is a mergefunctionality built into the TDEU001.xls and TDEU002.xla templates. When the user opens these

new versions of TDEU, a menu option entitled Merge Spreadsheet Versions appears under theQbyte menu. When the user chooses this option, the default windows open popup box will appearand allows the user to select the previous version of the spreadsheet they wish to merge into thenew version. Once the old version of the spreadsheet is chosen, TDEU will merge all the oldinformation into the new version of the spreadsheet.

Tips for using the TDEU merge functionality

If the number of columns has changed between the old version and the new version because anew column has been added to the new version, the user must populate the new column manually

(if required).If the number of columns has changed between the old version and the new version (as a resultof a previously existing column being deleted) the old column will be deleted from the new versionof the spreadsheetIf the old version of the spreadsheet contained hidden columns, when it is merged into the newversion of the spreadsheet the hidden columns will now be displayed.If the old spreadsheet contained references to fields in other spreadsheets, the references will becarried over into the new spreadsheet.If the old spreadsheet contained formatting of cells, the formatting will be removed when mergedinto the new spreadsheet.If the old spreadsheet contained references to another worksheet within that same spreadsheetfile, the references will be lost when merged into the new spreadsheet.

If the merge process is taking place in TDEU002, the old spreadsheet will remain open after theprocess is finished. If the merge process is taking place in TDEU001, the old spreadsheet will beautomatically closed after the process has finished.

"Oracle Database 11gRelease 2 (11.2.0.3) New Features" in Oracle

Database New Features Guide

Note the following changes with the new patch set packaging:

New installations consist of installing the most recent patch set, rather thaninstalling a base release and then upgrading to a patch release.

Direct upgrades from previous releases to the most recent patch set aresupported.

Out-of-place patch set upgrades recommended, in which you install the patch set

into a new, separate Oracle home. In-place upgrades are supported, but notrecommended.

In-Place Upgrade

This feature enables you to upgrade an existing installation of Oracle database toOracle Database 11gRelease 2 (11.2.0.3) into the same Oracle home directory byreplacing the existing database files. The patch set application requires more downtimeand is not recommended. This upgrade type requires less disk space.

Note:

If you select In-place upgrade to upgrade Oracle database to thelatest version, then you must:

Review "Optionally Performing an In-Place Upgrade (Into theSame Oracle Home)" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.

Take a complete backup of your Oracle home directory beforeyou perform the upgrade.

Out-of-Place Upgrade

This feature enables you to install Oracle Database 11gRelease 2 (11.2.0.3) in a new,separate Oracle home directory. After the installation is complete, the data from the

8/10/2019 fileField (5)

28/33




database in the old Oracle home directory is migrated to the database in the newOracle home directory.

Out-of-place upgrade process is similar to Oracle database upgrade from one version toanother and is the recommended type. The benefits of this upgrade type is that thepatch set application requires much less downtime, and is safer when the patch setapplication must be aborted. This upgrade type requires more disk space toaccommodate two Oracle home directories simultaneously.
