Task 4.1: Create Custom Installation Files
Purpose: Sets up TraCS to be deployed on other computers.
Choose the most appropriate option for your agency from the alternatives listed below.
Alternative A: Perform Task 4.1(a) if your response to question 9 on the architecture worksheet was:
No, we do not plan to run TraCS in a para-virtualized environment.
No, we do not run TraCS in the Hosted Environment.
Alternative D: Perform Task 4.1(d) if your response to question 9 on the architecture worksheet was:
We plan to implement TraCS in a para-virtualized environment such as Citrix, Terminal Server, or VMware.
Different types of hardware virtualization include:
Full virtualization – Almost complete simulation of the actual hardware to allow software environments, including a guest operating system and its apps, to run unmodified.
Paravirtualization – The guest apps are executed in their own isolated domains, as if they are running on a separate system, but a hardware environment is not simulated. Guest programs need to be specifically modified to run in this environment.
Alternative E: Perform Task 4.1(e) if you run TraCS in a Multi Agency System with Batch Table Updates
Yes, we use the Hosted Environment
Yes, we set up a batch system Setting up a TraCS Windows Services “Batch” Server Machine and completed Task 6.1 Task 6.1: Download Tables Upon Login
Warning: although some agencies have chosen to run TraCS as a virtualized application, the vendor for TraCS did not specifically design the application to be run in this manner. TraCS may run more slowly as a virtualized application. Data losses can occur if a session is dropped suddenly.
