(Updated 03/25/2015)

This document contains the instructions for installation and setup of DB2 Web Query, 5733WQX, version
2.1.0. It is recommended that the steps be completed in the order listed. All steps should be performed
under the sign on of QSECOFR or a user with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ authority, unless stated
otherwise.

1. Install prerequisite products, options, and PTFs

Review the 5733WQX prerequisite programs, options and PTFs listed in Info APAR II14682, and
verify that all prerequisites are installed for your version of IBM i. The APAR is located at
http://www-912.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.nsf/ALLAPARS/II14682.

2. Restore the DB2 Web Query licensed program

The IBM i standard and keyed media set will include DB2 Web Query 2.1.0 when ordered after
June 15, 2012. The 5733WQX base product and all options are included on one disc. If your Web
Query discs are older than 2.1.0, order a new copy or download it from ESS. The 2.1.0 disc is
identified by the following label information.

IBM i
DB2 Web Query for i
5733-WQX V2.1.0
F_MULTI_NLV
LCD8-1900-00

To install the base product and optional features, use the Restore Licensed Program
(RSTLICPGM) command. Minimally, you must install the base product, express or standard
edition, and developer user option. Example commands are shown below. Substitute OPT01 with
your optical drive. For each restore command, read the license agreement and press F14 to accept
it.

 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) – Base product

 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(1) – Express Edition
 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(2) – Standard Edition
 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(4) – Developer Users
 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(5) – Developer Workbench
Users
 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(6) – Runtime Enablement
Groups
 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(7) – JD Edwards Adapter
 RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733WQX) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(8) – DataMigrator for i

3. Set a password for the QWQADMIN profile

When the product is installed, it creates a user profile QWQADMIN with no password. Set a
password for the profile using the command CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(QWQADMIN)
PASSWORD(<yourpwd>). Failure to do so will prevent DB2 Web Query from starting.
4. Add license keys
Add license keys for the base product and each optional feature using the Add License Key
Information (ADDLICKEY) command.

5. Starting DB2 Web Query

To start DB2 Web Query, use option 1 of the Work with Web Query (WRKWEBQRY) tool.
Alternatively, you can use the Start Web Query (STRWEBQRY) command.

To end DB2 Web Query, use the WRKWEBQRY tool, the End Web Query (ENDWEBQRY)
command, or the End Subsystem (ENDSBS) command for the Web Query subsystem. When
ending the subsystem, do not use the default DELAY(*NOLIMIT) parameter on the ENDSBS
command. Instead, specify a number of seconds to delay for a controlled end or specify
OPTION(*IMMED). Here is example syntax:

ENDSBS SBS(QWEBQRY21) DELAY(60)

ENDSBS SBS(QWEBQRY21) OPTION(*IMMED)

6. Add licensed users

When DB2 Web Query is active, go to http://your_system:12331/webquery, where your_system is
the name or IP address of the system with Web Query installed. Login using the administrative
profile, QWQADMIN. Click Administration and then click Security Center.

From the Security Center you can add licensed users and assign permissions. For more
information, refer to the Security Concepts section of the DB2 Web Query New Features
document at
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/W516d8b6
0d32c_4fc5_a811_5f3d840bf524/page/New%20Features.

7. Install the Developer Workbench client (optional)

If you installed option 5, Developer Workbench Users, then the licensed users of this option
should download and install the Developer Workbench client on their PCs. To install the client,
follow these steps:
A. Download the two files in binary from the IFS directory
/qibm/ProdData/QWEBQRY/DeveloperWorkbench to a folder on the Windows PC. Choose
the files whose names are associated with the group PTF level for your Web Query
installation. You can find the group PTF level using the Work PTF Group (WRKPTFGRP)
command. Beginning with group PTF level 9, the file names will have the following format,
where x is the group PTF number:
WQDevWork80i_HFx.sfx.part1.exe
WQDevWork80i_HFx.sfx.part2.rar
Note: Earlier group PTF levels each have only one file.

B. Run WQDevWork80i_HFx.sfx.part1.exe.
The Dev Workbench Package Install dialog box displays, as shown in the following image.
 Note: Clicking Install will create a new WQDevWork80i_HFx.exe file in the same folder
where you are running WQDevWork80i_HFx.sfx.part1.exe. Optionally, you can change the
destination folder for the new file.

C. Click Install. The WQDevWork80i_HFx.exe file will be created in the Destination folder.
The WQDevWork80i_HFx.exe will then automatically run, and the Developer Workbench
installation wizard will start.

The installation and setup of DB2 Web Query is now complete and you are ready to create and run reports.

Post installation steps for NLS configuration

Step 1:
The Web Query server’s code page should correspond to the CCSID of the
majority of your data to reduce data conversion and avoid possible corruption in
reports. If one of the following conditions apply, set the CCSID in the
QWQADMIN profile to override the default system CCSID for server jobs:

 The default system CCSID is 65535.

 The default system CCSID is different than the CCSID of the data accessed
by your reports.

To check the value of the default system CCSID, use the command: DSPSYSVAL
QCCSID.

To set the CCSID in the QWQADMIN profile, use the CHGUSRPRF command.
Here is an example command for Japanese CCSID 939:

CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(QWQADMIN) CCSID(939)

Step 2: Enable the languages for the drop-down list

Go to URL http://sysname:12331/webquery. Login using the QWQADMIN user
ID. (If you do not use this ID, you will not be able to access the administrator’s
console.) Click on Administration, then Administration Console.

Click on Configuration, and then Dynamic Language Switch. This switch enables
the selection of languages that will appear on the Language drop down list on the
login page. It is used for the DB2 Web Query user tools and GUI.

In the Dynamic Language Switch window, the languages shipped with DB2 Web
Query are displayed. By default, the Dynamic Language Switch and the
language check boxes are unchecked. Click the Dynamic Language Switch
check box to enable it. Doing so activates the Enable option check boxes for all
languages. The default language (English) is automatically enabled. Click the
check boxes for additional languages you want to appear in the Language drop-
down list on logon pages.

Once you select a language, only those that share the same character
encoding will be available to be enabled. For example, Asian languages
may only be enabled with English. European languages may be enabled
with each other and English.

Click on Save to apply the changes to the configuration. You must restart Web
Query for the changes to take effect.

Step 3: Set the default numeric formatting

If you wish to change the default numeric formatting, click on Custom Settings.
By setting the value for Continental Decimal Notation (CDN), you can adjust the
default behavior for numeric data.

SET CDN= [ ON | OFF | SPACE | QUOTE | QUOTEP ]

ON enables CDN. For example, the number 3,045,000.76 is represented as 3.045.000,76.
OFF disables CDN. For example, the number 3,045,000.76 is represented as 3,045,000.76. OFF
is the default value.
SPACE separates groups of three significant digits with a space instead of a comma, and marks a
decimal position with a comma instead of a period. For example, the number 3,045,000.76 is
represented as 3 045 000,76.
QUOTE separates groups of three significant digits with a single quotation mark instead of a
comma, and marks a decimal position with a comma instead of a period. For example, the
number 3,045,000.76 is represented as 3'045'000,76.
QUOTEP separates groups of three significant digits with a single quotation mark instead of a
comma, and marks a decimal position with a comma. For example, the number 3,045,000.76 is
represented as 3'045'000.76.

Example syntax:
_site_profile=SET CDN = OFF

Note that if the display format of a Web Query report is Excel 2000 or later, CDN
is controlled by the settings on an end user’s computer. That is, numbers in
report output are formatted according to the convention of the locale (location)
set in regional or browser language options.

Step 4: Set the default currency

If you wish to change the default currency, edit the file

/qibm/userdata/qwebqry/ibi/srv77/wfs/etc/nlscfg.err.
The file is created when Web Query is started. Add the three letter code for the
currency symbol you would like to use. The options are:
EUR (Euro)
USD (United States dollar)
 GBP (Pound sterling)
JPY (Japanese yen)
NIS (Israeli new shekel)
For example, to specify the Euro, set CURRENCY = EUR.

You must end DB2 Web Query and restart it for the change to take effect.

Step 5: Enable visual data support

Only perform this step if you are configuring Hebrew bi-directional language
support. Enable Visual data support by editing the file
/QIBM/userdata/qwebqry/base80/client/wfc/etc/cgivars.wfs. Change the WFTRANSINOUT
setting to add the path com.srl.exits.WFExit. Note that it is case sensitive.
Following is an example of how it should look:

WFTRANSINOUT =com.srl.exits.WFExit

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Set the CCSID for Qshell

If you are using the Arabic language and CCSID 420, the following steps are
needed to specify an alternative CCSID for Web Query programs that run in
Qshell, because Qshell does not support CCSID 420.
1. Enter the command: wrklnk
‘/qibm/userdata/qwebqry/WQLWI80/conf/i5OSStartup.properties'
2. Select option 2=Edit.
3. Edit the file to add this line: engine.job.ccsid=425
4. Press F3 to save the changed file.
