Purpose: Creates Windows services for “end-shift” data transmission to the TraCS database and transmission of form data to courts, DA, and the state to run automatically at periodic intervals without user intervention.
Requirement:
Task 1.4.1 SMTP —set up an email database connection.
Complete Task 3.21: Configure Notification Service batch transmission doesn’t work without the email and notification services.
Note: These services need only be added to one office machine in the agency. For best practice set up a “Batch” machine that runs all 4 or 5 batch services and is only used for these services. This can be a virtual machine.
This task must be performed prior to task 3.25
Requirements: Batch Computer.
