- 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.
