Getting Started with SAP IQ

You’ve just successfully installed SAP IQ. What should you do next?

Some useful videos can help you through the process.

First, you need to create a new database. Learn how to configure your environment and then create a new database in Creating an SAP IQ Database.

Once you’ve created your database, you use the startup utility (start_iq) to get it running.  The start_iq utility uses preset default values and calculated values based on your environment. To master start_iq, watch Starting an SAP IQ Database.

After you have a running database, you may convert it to a multiplex for faster query processing. You’ll need to configure your environment, convert the database to a multiplex and add secondary nodes. Are you most comfortable with  SQL commands, or would you prefer a browser application?  Choose your favorite method and watch one of these videos:

• Create an SAP IQ Multiplex using SQL
• Create an SAP IQ Multiplex using IQ Cockpit

Now you’re ready to load your database and query data.

You can learn about that from the SAP IQ documentation for your version at help.sap.com.
