Product Configuration
Editing the Product Configuration
The Editing System Details function allows you to specify the versions of prerequisite third-party software and its location on the system. Under normal circumstances, the system automatically gathers this information and no changes are required.
You can edit system details as a whole by highlighting the environment. Edit component details by highlighting the component. For example, selecting QAD EE allows for the sequential editing of all system details. However, highlighting <environment_name>:database server just edits the database setting.
Beginning with Enterprise Edition 2012.1, QDT supports the writing of temp files to a RAM disk during Enterprise Edition configuration. Use of a RAM disk can greatly accelerate the configuration process by taking advantage of the inherent speed this type of memory provides.

1 Select QAD <environment_name> under Product.
2 In the Action pane, select Edit System Details.
3 Select QAD <environment_name>: Edit System Details in the Steps In Action Set pane.
