9.8 Installation of PQSM

PQSM stands for PQ Secure System Manager and is a service application that should preferably be

installed on the server (i.e. on the same computer on which the SQL database is running) for

maximum performance.

PQSM mainly handles the following tasks:

 PQ Schedule monitoring (to make sure the download system is working) PQSM will add

events to the event list if the download software (PQ Schedule) is not working.

 Alarm E-Mailing. If an alarm is triggered, PQSM will send a mail to the recipients specified

in the alarm.

 Periodic report generation and distribution (by e-mail)

 Limit calculation. Limits can be added for any measured parameter. These limits are

monitored by PQSM, and if any parameter is outside the allowed limits events will be added

to the event list, and optionally an e-mail will be sent to some specified receivers.

 General PQ Secure database monitoring to make sure the database is healthy.

Before installing PQSM, make sure that an SQL server has been setup and configured.

PQSM installation consists of the following steps in chronological order:

 Installation of PQSM

 Configure PQSM basic settings with SQL authentication

 Configure PQSM basic settings with Windows authentication
