Automatic Updates
• The bottom left hand corner should say “checking for updates” every time you sign in
Automatic Updates
• If the bottom left hand corner says there is an error, please contact your TraCS administrator.
Automatic Updates
• When there are updates, you will be prompted upon opening the TraCS 10 icon• If you say yes, updates will
download and then install• If you say no, you will not be
allowed to sign into TraCS• If your internet connection is
poor, you can say no, find a better connection, and then say yes
Automatic Updates
• Sometimes with Windows 7 computers, the little update icon appears in the task bar, so click on it to bring it up
Baseline Updates
• The software is made in Pennsylvania and we just build the forms in Florida• The baseline version is shown in the picture• Help/About TraCS shows this• The master computer must download, install, and approve updates before clients
at your agency can receive them
Forms Pack Updates
• The forms are built in Florida• The forms pack version is shown in the picture• The master computer must download, install, and approve updates before clients
at your agency can receive them
Location Specific Updates
• Certain files will be specific to your agency and no other• Available Forms (which forms your users can see)• Import/Export related files (eCrash, eCitation, RMS exports)• Settings (Active Directory trigger)• eCrash/eCitation FTP & email notification information• TraCS Diagram (custom palettes of intersections)• Database Connection information
• These updates DO NOT require the master computer approve before clients can download• When Active Directory is turned on through location updates, every time there is a location
update released, the admin must turn Active Directory OFF on the server by modifying the Settings.ini LoginType=TraCS• Example:
• ;LoginTypes TraCS, Windows, ActiveDirectory, MACH• LoginType=TraCS
Master Computer
• The master computer MUST be the designated server that handles exports to the state, clerk, and/or RMS• TraCS has a list of all
agencies on our server
Master Computer
• The Master Computer is designated by a Check Box on the TraCS side• Updates are
hosted on the TraCS AutoUpdate server, NOT your agency’s server
Master Computer
• Until the master computer shows “white” (meaning up-to-date), clients at the agency cannot receive Baseline and Forms Pack updates; however, they can still receive Location Specific Updates
Installing Clients
• The install package can be found on the Agency Download page of the website• The install package is generic and the same for all agencies across the state• Your serial number is tied to your agency on the TraCS AutoUpdate server• Upon launching TraCS for the first time, you will be prompted to download required
updates• These are your agencies specific location files• Since location updates are only distributed once per computer name (unless a change is
made to location updates by TraCS Florida), if you reinstall or reimage a machine, you must submit a ticket to TraCS Florida and request that the computer name be “wiped off” the AutoUpdate server so our server “thinks” your computer still needs the updates• This is a bug that has been fixed in the 10.05.XX series, but we are not ready to deploy this baseline
version of TraCS yet
