Developing a QMF Visionary world
QMF
Visionary Studio allows you to share a QMF Visionary world's
files across a development team for the concurrent development of
a QMF Visionary world. QMF Visionary Studio integrates with any
commercially available source-control system. For more information
on concurrent development, see the DB2 QMF Visionary Developer's Guide.
Developing a QMF Visionary world typically involves the following
basic steps:
- Plan your world by identifying the business questions it should
answer and then create a storyboard that visually plots the answers.
- Create a data model that answers your business questions, and
then gather the necessary data into the model.
- Define a data source for the database containing the data for
the world.
- Start QMF Visionary Studio and connect to the data source.
- Create a query using one of the following tools:
- Simple Query wizard, for SQL queries using a single table
- Advanced Query wizard, for complex SQL queries using one or
more tables
- Query Diagram view, for complex SQL queries, displayed in a
grid control
- Text view, for direct SQL entry
- Create scenes using the Scene Editor, the Palette Manager, the
Layout wizard, and the Object Inspector.
- Test your world in runtime mode of the Scene Editor.
- Publish your world with the Publish wizard, specifying the client/server deployment
configuration.
- Deploy your world by installing the published world file (.vis),
the appropriate database connectivity, and QMF Visionary Studio
or QMF for Windows on the client computers.
