This page describes all QPR UI system settings. The settings are stored in QPR UI's database in the CONFIGURATIONENTITY table. Some of the settings can be changed during the installation in the installation wizard. After these settings are changed in the database, QPR UI's Windows service must be restarted so that the changes take effect.

The Setting name in the following table is defined in the KEY_FIELD column of the CONFIGURATIONENTITY table.


External Service Settings

Setting name (KEY_FIELD column) Description
MEA_SERVICE_LOCATION QPR Suite web service interface location. QPR UI uses this address to access QPR Suite to fetch data. In usual configurations, where QPR Suite is in the same server computer, the address is http://localhost/QPR2017-1/Portal/QPR.Isapi.dll/wsforward/MainService.svc/webHttp/. Note that you may need to change the QPR Suite version number in the url or the protocol (http/https).
PA_SERVICE_LOCATION QPR ProcessAnalyzer web service interface location. QPR UI uses this address to access QPR ProcessAnalyzer to fetch data.
QPR_REPORTING_EXPRESSIONS_WEB_SERVICE_LOCATION QPR Reporting Add-on Web Service interface location for datasets. QPR UI uses this location to query to QPR Reporting Expression datasource. In usual configurations, the following setting can be used: http://localhost/QPRWebServicesExtensions/ExpressionAsDataset.ashx?xsession=<#meaSessionId>&expression=<#expression> (it may also be https).

Advanced details: This setting support following tags which are replaced when the setting is used by QPR UI:

  • <#expression>: Contains the expression that is sent to the web service.
  • <#meaSessionId>: Contains the QPR Suite session id.
  • <#enticeSessionId>: Contains the QPR UI session id.

These tags can be used to fill the needed values for "xsession" and "expression" parameters
