To allow access to the TIMETRAX database over the network, make sure that
the TIMETRAX program is closed on the Server. Then, double click on the
TIMETRAX Network Agent icon on the Server's desktop. An icon in the form
of a blue pyramid will appear in the system tray on the lower-right corner of
your screen. This starts the Microsoft SQL Server and allows communications
with the Client(s).
The TIMETRAX network is now ready for normal operation. The server and
the client functions are interchangeable, and to secure the integrity of the
information being modified, only one user can be in the system at that time.
However, only the computer that is connected to the TIMETRAX terminal
(serial port) is capable of retrieving punch data, regardless if that computer
is the Server or the Client.
UPGRADE TO SQL FROM A SINGLE USER VERSION
It is important that you activate the SQL feature in your existing TimeTrax
or Fastime program by calling Pyramid before attempting the upgrade. If you
currently have TimeTrax (previously Fastime) software and are upgrading to
the SQL version, you must copy your database files.
• Close out of TimeTrax Software.
• Create a "TimeTrax Backup" folder on your desktop.
• Right-click on the Desktop and select ➞ NEW ➞ FOLDER.
• Name this folder DATA.
• Navigate to My Computer – C:\ Program Files\Pyramid\TimeTrax folder
and locate the following 6 files:
If you cannot see the file extensions, you may need to go to Tools, Folder
Options, View and then make sure HIDE FILE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN
FILE TYPES is unchecked. These are your database files and contain all of
your information.
• Copy these files to the DATA folder on your desktop. To do this, select the
first file and single left click so that it is highlighted, hold the CTRL key on
your keyboard and select the other 5 files. Choose EDIT ➞ COPY and close
out. Open the DATA folder on your desktop and choose EDIT ➞ PASTE.
*It is very important that you have all 6 files in your DATA file before
moving forward.
• Close out of all open windows. Navigate to Control Panel and select
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. Locate TIMETRAX on the list and choose
REMOVE.
