Preparing a file share
On the file server, make a file share (name FastTrak is preferred) and make it available to the appropriate users. Recommendations for user permissions (usually done via AD-groups) on this share are:
- Root folder: Read and execute
- Subfolders Logs and Settings: Same as above, but add Write permission.
For more information on permissions, see Permissions.
Extracting application files
The application is distributed as a ZIP file. The exact filename/link depends on the version. You will need to unpack the application files to the file share. You will find files for a first installation here:
Creating a datalink (UDL file)
The application needs to know where to find its data. This is done through the creation of an UDL file. A simple way to do this is outlined below:
- Create a text file in Windows Explorer (Right click, New - Text file )
- Rename it to FastTrak.UDL (ignore the warning)
- Double click the file to specify the connection details.
You should select "Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB Provider" on the Service/Tjeneste page, and the location and name of the database you created in the previous step. See an example in picture below.
Preparing the database
After the datalink file has been prepared, upgrade the database to match the requirements of the application. This is done by running the programs DbUpgrade.exe and FastTrakUpdate.exe, both located in the bin subdirectory.
Starting the application the first time
After upgrading, you should be able to start the application and log in to it. You will be asked for your name, gender and date of birth. It is not necessary to add the full national identification number (F-Nummer, D-Nummer etc).
