Compatibility Statement
C&D Programming's AppTrack v1.0 is compatible with LANtastic NOS version
4.xx.
Product Overview
On a typical LANtastic network, applications are installed on several
peer-to-peer LANtastic servers and are shared by a controlled lists of users.
AppTrack provides an interface layer between the network users and the
applications so that usage of the applications can be tracked. It thus
allows you to manage all software licenses on the network, monitor usage of
an application in real time and simplify application upgrade processes,
especially if you need to upgrade from a DOS-based product to a Windows-
based product.
Product Installation Notes
The AppTrack product is designed around the LANtastic Network Operating
System, and its documentations are all LANtastic-specific. Basically, you
need to have to following steps covered:
1. Install AppTrack (on any node on the network). After AppTrack has been
installed on a machine running Windows, an AppTrack program group will be
created, which holds the AppTrack console and other utilities. It also
created 2 directories: the AppTrack Manager directory, ATMGR, and the
AppTrack User directory ATUSER. Both directories contain the file
APPTRACK.INI, which needs to be accessed by all servers and workstations that
want to use AppTrack. This is the machine where the database for the usage
information of your applications resides. Remember to load SHARE on this
machine for proper database operations.
2. Set up one or more AppTrack servers. Eventually, each AppTrack server
will need access to the LANtastic control directories of all the application
servers which are home to the applications the AppTrack server needs to
monitor. To set up an AppTrack server, choose the AppTrack Server
Maintenance option under the Configuration menu from the AppTrack console.
3. On the AppTrack server, log into the machine containing the AppTrack
Manager directory. Set the environment variable APPTRACK_DIR to point to the
location of the APPTRACK.INI file, as in,
SET APPTRACK_DIR=\\<MACHINE_NAME>\APPTRACK\ATMGR.
Please refer to the file RUNSERV.BAT for an example.
4. From the AppTrack server, log into all application servers that needs to
be monitored with a username that has all privileges except (P)hysical and
(I)ndirect. Load the TSR for the AppTrack server (APPSVRD.exe from DOS or
APPSVRW.exe from Windows). You need to specify to the TSR which IRQ(s) are
being used on the adapter card(s) of the AppTrack server.
5. Now you are ready to add to the system applications you would like to
monitor. To add an application to AppTrack, choose the Applications
Information Maintenance option under the Configuration menu from the AppTrack
console.
6. Additional tips for installing AppTrack on LANtastic version 4.1: Make
sure that the line CacheFlush=TRUE appear in the APPSYS.INI file located in
the AppTrack User directory, ATUSER, under the [Server] section in
APPSYS.INI. Refer to the information on APPSYS.INI in the AppTrack manual
for full details.
Product Execution Notes
After AppTrack has been successfully set up, a user can now get access to an
application through AppTrack:
1. From the user workstation, log onto the machine containing the AppTrack
User directory. Set the environment variable APPTRACK_DIR to point to the
location of the APPTRACK.INI file. For example,
SET APPTRACK_DIR=\\<MACHINE_NAME>\APPTRACK\ATUSER
2. Put the AppTrack User directory in your path, as in,
NET USE R: \\<MACHINE_NAME>\APPTRACK\ATUSER
SET PATH=%PATH%;R:\
Please refer to the file RUNWORK.BAT for an example.
3. Invoke the application desired through AppTrack's application loader
programs. For example:
APPSTUB APPL1
where "APPL1" is the name given to your application when you defined
it in the AppTrack management console. You also have the option of
creating a stub for your application and invoking the stub instead.
Compatibility Notes
As with many other TSRs, avoid running the AppTrack server program in DOS,
APPSVRD.exe, with the LANtastic ALONE program.
