Task 3.14: Configure RMS Transmission Settings

Task 3.14: Configure RMS Transmission Settings


Purpose:  Configure TraCS to extract and transmit data to your Records Management System (RMS).  This task is optional.

 

Alternative A: Perform Task 3.14(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, and we are not in the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment

 

Alternative B: Perform Task 3.14(b) if your response to question 9 on the architecture worksheet was:

 Yes, we plan to run TraCS in a para-virtualized environment such as Citrix, Terminal Server, or VMware, and we are not in the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment

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.

 

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.  We have had reports that TraCS runs more slowly as a virtualized application.  Data losses can occur if a session is dropped suddenly.

The next 3 alternatives are for the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment Only

 

Alternative C: Perform Task 3.14(c), to enable RMS exports in the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment.

 

Alternative D: Perform Task 3.14(d), to configure RMS exports in Agency of a Badger TraCS Hosted Environment.

 

Alternative E: Perform Task 3.14(e), to work with RMS exports in the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment.
