2 QXtend provides two installation methods: Typical and Advanced.
Typical Installation is a simplified install process that automatically fills the QXtend installer fields with parameters for a default QXtend installation. For detailed information regarding default installation parameters, see
Typical Installation Parameters.
Advanced Installation allows you to individually enter the parameters to create a custom QXtend configuration. You are also able to add additional QXtend adapters and QXO Events Databases according to the number of QAD Enterprise Application installations. Finally, if you want to modify any of the default configuration parameters, use QXtend’s advanced installation mode.
