Qfis ABW Route 66
QFIS IS CHANGING......
Qfis, Queen's Financial Information System, is being upgraded to the latest version of the Agresso Business World software. To enable the change some users will need to update their windows software - Windows 7 users will also have to check their version of the antivirus program Symantec.
How do I get access and do I need any new software on my machine?
If you connect to qfis using an icon on your desktop it will be necessary to install Microsoft.Net Framework 4 (Full Version).
This can be found on the University network under J:\QfisLive\DOTNET4-FULL
It can also be found at the following URL:

The installation process may prompt you to accept Microsoft licence conditions which you should do - if you are prompted to Repair or Remove the current .Net Framework, you should not continue with the installation, as your software is up to date.
Double click and logon with your current user details in the new log on box:
I am a Windows 7 user - what else do I need to do?
You will need to check the version of your Symantec antivirus on your machine - look in your system tray at the bottom right of your screen - it should look something like this :
if the yellow shield has a green dot then no further action is required on your part.
If your Symantec icon is different from that above, your current version of Symantec must be uninstalled. To do this:
- Go to start > Control Panel > Programs and Features
- Scroll down to Symantec Endpoint, highlight and then click uninstall
- Reboot your PC, logon to the network and navigate to J:\Symantec Install (a shortcut icon)
- Double Click to install, click yes and accept any prompts to complete
- Reboot your PC to complete the process
Further advice on uninstalling/installing Symantec can be sought from your local computing officer in the first instance or from the Information Services Helpdesk by email at advisory@qub.ac.uk or by phone on ext 3760.
