Quantum Cloud

Rotabull supports Quantum Cloud. Set up instructions are below, but first be sure to check your Quantum version. Rotabull does not support versions of Quantum using a Firebird database, or Q-Step.

Most of the Quantum Cloud set up process is handled by Rotabull staff. With the Quantum Cloud integration, Rotabull uses a VPN connection to sync data to and from your Quantum database.

Set Up Instructions

1. You will first need to provide Rotabull the IP address or hostname of the cloud server that is hosting your Quantum database. One reliable way to find this is to look in the tnsnames.ora file on any machine that you use to access Quantum. This is a text file and is usually within your Oracle install folder. Once you're viewing the file, do a find a for "HOST = " without the quotes. You'll find this within a larger text of string and it will have the IP address or hostname of your Quantum database server on the right side of the equals sign: (HOST = hostname_or_ip). Other options for getting this information would be to reach out to your IT staff or to Component Control themselves.
2. Send a request to Component Control for VPN access to your Quantum server. Rotabull will use the VPN connection to sync data to and from your Quantum ERP. You can request this from your contact or Component Control, or you can reach out to them at [email protected]. Here's a template you could use for the request email:

   1. 📘

      OpenVPN Access Request

      Hi Support,

      We are requesting OpenVPN access on our Quantum server.  This will allow us to sync data from Quantum for use with Rotabull.  Once enabled, if you could please provide us the following information that would be greatly appreciated:

      VPN host
      Server Username
      Server Password

       
      Thank you

3. Once that request is completed and we have the necessary information, Rotabull staff will connect Rotabull to your Quantum database using the VPN connection.

Confirming Quantum Cloud is connected

You can check that the integration is fully connected correctly, with two steps:

1. Go to your listings in Rotabull and confirm your inventory has synced.
2. Once your sales team begins sending quotes, confirm that the quotes are being entered into Quantum.
