IntelliTrack ISRP Architecture
IntelliTrack ISRP is built on the three-tier architecture recommended by
Microsoft for client/server environments. Three separate areas integrate to form your IntelliTrack ISRP product: the workstation application, the server, and the database; thus forming a scalable client/server that can handle a large number of users against a large database. IntelliTrack ISRP minimizes network traffic by shifting transactions to the back end through a middle tier that provides accessibility to upgrades.
First Tier:
Workstation
Area
The first tier of IntelliTrack ISRP is the workstation application and is comprised of the graphic user interface (GUI objects), including forms, reports, etc. This is the part of ISRP that you use to enter information, generate reports, etc. The local tables are generated from data provided by the second tier (middle layer). All transactions (picking, receiving, moves, inventory adjustments, etc.) initiated in this first tier are sent to the second tier to be processed.
Second Tier:
Server
Workstation Components
•
•
•
The workstation components of IntelliTrack ISRP consist of the program applications used from the PC desktop:
Workstation Application: The PC desktop application.
Batch Terminal Communications: The connection between the PC and handheld device for purposes of transferring data or ISRP program setting.
Import/Export Utility: A separate utility that allows you to import data into its database tables and export data from them. Import and export data is stored in text files (files with a .txt extension). A folder is created during installation to hold these files and is found in your program directory (\IntelliTrack\ISRP\Import Export).
The second tier, also referred to as the middle layer, receives transactions from the application and processes the transactions. The results are then returned to the first tier.
Third Tier:
Database
Chapter 1
Introduction
Server Components
•
•
The server components of IntelliTrack ISRP refer to the “back end” portion of the product, which runs and houses the data:
SQL Server 2000 or higher; SQL Express: Microsoft SQL Express is the default database structure if Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or higher is not installed.
License Service: The IntelliTrack License Service controls access to the application's user licenses.
The third tier is the database back end. The database: The collection of data that resides within IntelliTrack ISRP.
Preparing Warehouse Data
A Warehouse operates within a dynamic environment in which material moves from receiving to storage to shipping. In order for the warehouse to operate efficiently, plan your material storage and warehouse layout based upon how the goods and materials are received, stored, picked, and shipped.
Important: For optimal use of IntelliTrack ISRP, we recommend assembling the relevant warehouse data; establishing the warehouse layout; and determining the receiving, picking, and shipping procedures BEFORE installing and using the application.
Assembling
Warehouse
Data

To assemble your warehouse data, be sure to review the following areas of your warehouse operation:

Define Items
Identify Material Flow in the Warehouse
Defining Storage Locations
Here are three simple steps to help you define warehouse storage locations:

User Manual
1.
2.
3.
Clearly define all of the storage locations within the warehouse, including the boundaries that separate them.
Determine whether these locations accommodate all the item types, shapes and sizes that are required. This may include zones, aisles, rows, and storage areas in a controlled environment for storing hazardous, valuable, or temperature controlled materials.
Once these locations are set, identify them with a combination of numbers and letters.
Defining Items
Define the items the warehouse contains. Typically, these items and descriptions are already defined in the system that is currently processing invoices.
Establishing Material Flow
After the usable warehouse space and item size have been determined, you are ready to identify the process by which material is moved through the warehouse (i.e., material flow). A good starting point would be the movement of the top twenty percent of inventory.
The basic warehouse layout example below shows material flow through a warehouse. What are the requirements of moving material into storage and out of storage at your warehouse facility?
6
Chapter 1
Introduction
Receiving Area
Your warehouse receiving area is the space allocated to accept, inspect, and process receiving orders; therefore, it is critical to determine what space is needed for these processes.
When allocating space for the receiving area, ask these questions:
1.
2.
3.
What are the size and quantity of shipments?
What equipment is needed to process and move material into storage?
Given the flow of material, where are the most efficient bulk storage locations on site?
Furthermore, we recommend calculating the time taken to put-away material from receiving to bulk storage locations. This is an effective method to identify the most cost effective storage locations. For more information on the receiving order process in IntelliTrack ISRP, refer to
Forward Picking Areas and the Shipping Process
The efficiency of the put-away process and the picking process is central to creating an effective storage layout process. Numerous theories abound on

User Manual how best to accomplish efficiency goals. Whatever approach is selected, we recommend clearly defining material movement in storage BEFORE implementing IntelliTrack ISRP in your operation:
•
•
Identify primary put-away and primary pick locations for items.
Plot a location sequence for an item that can be used to lead operators to the best pick.
This information is valuable during setup.
Be aware that the selection of IntelliTrack ISRP features may impact materials flow through the warehouse and should be considered during the planning stage. These features provide operators maximum flexibility in the picking process.

Introduction
The Purge function manages application data by deleting old or obsolete information from the application. This keeps the database size to a minimum and improves system performance. Data is purged at the Purge form.
Important: Before purging data, we recommend backing up your database. For information about backing up your database, please refer to
“Backing Up the Database” on page 200 .
Sample Data
IntelliTrack ISRP provides you with sample data. Your sample database is populated with sample warehouse sites, locations, item numbers, and item quantities. Use IntelliTrack ISRP with the sample database to become familiar with the application. When you are comfortable with the application, and are ready to establish your own warehouse sites, locations, item numbers, and item quantities, clear the sample data from the application by purging it from the application.
Note: Before establishing your warehouse sites, locations, item numbers, and item quantities, you must purge the existing sample data from the system.

For example, to put away a box of perishable items into location 1A11 with an expiration date or received date of 3/16/2004 and another box of the same perishable items into location 1B11 with an expiration date or received date of 4/20/2004, location 1A11 is listed first when selecting a location to pick from when picking an order.
Multiple UOM: Check this box to activate Multiple UOM. If used, an item can be stored in multiple units of measure. ISRP provides a
Let Down process that converts a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure. Units of Measure define a base unit (each) of measurement, and then higher increments of the base unit such as carton, bundle, and case for the items in stock. You are able to list your defined units of measure at the Units of Measure Lookup table; thus making them available as UOM selections in various forms in IntelliTrack ISRP.

Using Line
Numbers
Your data will operate in “line number mode” and picking and receiving order information will be displayed by individual line item in the receiving and picking order record. This means that each individual order line will be displayed in the order record; if the same item is included multiple times in the order, ISRP will display it each time, by line. Hence, if you have one item that is received or picked ten times in one order, you will have ten separate order lines for this item, each including the same item number, but a different line number.

Security is not enabled at application startup. Before you set security rights for each system user, you must enable security. To enable security, check the Enable Security check box. When enabled, security is activated and the privileges defined in the Security tab are enforced. If disabled, no security restriction is enforced and all defined privileges are ignored.
You are able to add system users and assign user tasks: everyone who will use the system should be entered as a system user. This gives you the ability to restrict the actions each user is allowed to perform by assigning specific user tasks. Usually you will set up the user tasks at the same time you add a user. However, user tasks can be changed at any time.
The system Admin user has rights to add users and assign user tasks. In addition, the Admin user has rights to perform all user tasks. The
Admin user name and rights cannot be edited. Usually, the Admin user adds users to the system and assigns user tasks. However, you may assign this right to other users.

Unit of Measure
A unit of measure (UOM) allows you to measure the amount of an item in the database in a structured and distinct unit. Units of measure define a base unit of measurement such as each, and then higher increments of the base unit such as carton, bundle, and case. When you enable the multiple units of measure feature in the System Options form\Features tab, you are able to list the valid units of measure at the Units of Measure Lookup table; define them for an item in the Item Data form; and use them in inventory counts, and with picking and receiving orders. Listing them in the Units of Measure Lookup table makes them available as UOM selections in IntelliTrack ISRP. If you plan to implement multiple Units of Measure, it is important to accurately list these measurements at this table so that they are available in the IntelliTrack ISRP application when entering item data and receiving orders. To add, edit, or delete a unit of measure from the Units of Measure Lookup table, please refer to the sections that follow.
Note: When you enable the Multiple UOM feature, your system contains
the default {Each} value to represent the each quantity of one (1). If you want to use a different value to represent the each quantity of one, you may delete the default value and enter your own value. Before deleting any
UOM value, make sure that the system is not using this value for any items in inventory. (Deleting a UOM value from this table does not delete it from any items that may be using it.) For more information about deleting a

WorldShip will accept ISRP data through an “import map” that you must create. This map associates the correct shipping data fields in
ISRP with the correct fields in UPS OnLine WorldShip. This process is called “keyed import” in UPS OnLine WorldShip.
ISRP will accept UPS OnLine WorldShip data through an “export map” that you must create. The export map will allow you to associate the correct shipping data fields in UPS OnLine WorldShip with the correct shipping data fields in ISRP. This process is called “keyed export” in UPS OnLine WorldShip.
Important: To integrate IntelliTrack ISRP with UPS OnLine WorldShip, you must be a UPS customer using UPS OnLine WorldShip 6.0 through
10.0 software to process your UPS shipping activities. The instructions and examples in this section follow UPS WorldShip v10.0.

Introduction
IntelliTrack ISRP provides an Import Export utility to import data into its database tables and export data from them. Import and export data is stored in text files [files with a (.txt) extension]. A folder is created during installation to hold these files and is found in your program directory
(\IntelliTrack\ISRP\Import Export). When you are running in line number mode, the ISRP Import-Export Utility requires line number information.
Warning: DO NOT IMPORT data that contains special characters or quotes with the exception of dashes, dots, and spaces. Except for dashes, dots, and spaces, if you data contains special characters or quotes, the database will become corrupted. For more information, please refer to
“Precautions when Entering Data” on page 15 .
Reaching the Import Export Utility
The Import Export Utility may be configured to begin automatically after the workstation restarts, or it can be started from the Windows Start menu.
It is connected directly to the ISRP database to provide better performance.
Data access is configured during installation. If the location or login information changes, you will be prompted to re-enter your login and password information to regain access to the database from this utility (the server name, database name, user name, and password are required).
Once access to the database is established, you must login to the ISRP
Import Export Utility. Your ISRP username and password are required, as per your security settings in the IntelliTrack ISRP workstation application.
To open the Import Export Utility:
1.
2.
Select Start > Programs > IntelliTrack > ISRP > Import-Export
Utility. The Login window appears.
Enter your ISRP user name in the User Name field. If a password is required, enter your ISRP user password in the Password field. Click

•
The Field Name field displays the ISRP fields with information that can be imported or exported.
If the box in the Required field is checked, this field must be selected.
The field must have a numeric position greater than zero, and it must be contained in your import file.
To include a field that is not required, enter the position that represents the order where this field’s data appears in the imported or exported file. (An entry of zero excludes a field from inclusion in the selected interface.)
If a fixed width file type is selected, the Length column appears and requires an entry when a position has been assigned. It is the length of this field in the import or export file. This column is hidden when tab delimited fields are selected.
The Max Length field shows the size of the existing fields in ISRP and is not editable. It is a required reference for length entries when using the fixed length file type or comparing imported field sizes from external systems.
You are able to change the data order by selecting the column name.
Use this feature to organize the numeric order during position assignment.

A Note About Importing Data
When importing data, your import file must contain exactly the same number of fields for which you assign positions in the interface template grid.
Enter a position number in the Position field for each field that is included in the file being imported.
For example, if you select the Item Import interface, and you want to import the Item Number, Item Description, Unit of Measure, and Each
Count, the each data line in the import file must have four fields.
In the utility, assign a position for 1, 2, 3, 4 in the interface template. (Be sure that each field is assigned a position. If you assign positions to 1, 3, and 4 while ignoring position 2, the data import will not work properly.)
For the Item Import interface, the utility may look something like this:
1 - Item Number
2 - Item Description
3 - Unit of Measure
4 - Each Count
In the import file, the data in the file being imported must include the fields selected in the utility; these fields must be ordered according to the assigned positions in the utility; hence, for our example, the data in each line of a tab delimited file would look something like this:
New Item Test Item Entry EA 10
New Item2 Testing EA 20
For detailed information about each interface, please refer to the sections that follow.
Warning: When importing data in the application, make sure that the data
DOES NOT CONTAIN special characters or quotes with the exception of dashes, dots, and spaces. Except for dashes, dots, and spaces, if you use special characters when importing data into the application, the database will become corrupted. For more information, please refer to

Introduction
IntelliTrack ISRP is a client server system using SQL Express or SQL
Server to handle the MDF back-end data file (or database) and MS Access to handle much of the application front-end. For optimum system performance, it is a good idea to regularly perform basic system maintenance, including:
1.
2.
Backing up your database; for more information: please see “Backing
.
Compacting the workstation at regular intervals: please see
“Compacting the Workstation” on page 205
.
The ISRP application also includes the front-end application; for front-end
backup information, please see “Front-End File Backup” on page 205 . In
addition, if you ever need to change the ISRP application database connection, you may do so at the DATA.UDL file, which is available from the
ISRP workstation application Tools tab or the ISRP Program folder.
For more information, please see “Changing the Application Database Connection” on page 198
.
Verifying Database Connection
You ISRP application contains a database that stores your data and all data transactions. It is located on a PC or network server and managed by SQL
Server or SQL Express. During application installation, SQL login is set and the IntelliTrack database is created. To verify database creation and connection, you must know your SQL Login information (including server name and/or instance) and the IntelliTrack database name.
IntelliTrack
Database
The database is created during application installation. The default database name for ISRP 8.1 is ISRP80.
SQL Server
Logon
Information
During application installation, the default logon information for SQL
Server is set as username “sa” and password IntelliTrack#2008. You are able to change the database name and SQL Server logon information.
However, for SQL 2008, a strong password is required. A strong password
192

ISRP System Maintenance contains varied characters and is at least 8 characters long. For strong pass-
word requirements, see “Strong Password Requirements” on page 193
.
Strong
Password
Requirements
2.
3.
The default IntelliTrack password for SQL 2008 login is Intelli-
Track#2008. It is a strong password. A strong password is required for
SQL Server login. A strong password meets the following requirements:
1.
•
•
•
Can’t contain the account name or part of the account name in it.
Must be at least 8 characters long.
•
Must contain characters from at least 3 of the following 4 categories:
Latin uppercase (A-Z)
Latin lowercase (a-z)
Base 10 digits (0-9)
Non-alphanumeric characters such as exclamation point (!), dollar sign ($), number sign (#), or percent (%)
Testing the
Database
Connection via the UDL
File
In order for you to successfully startup and run your ISRP application, the database must be attached to your application. If your ISRP application cannot find its database, it will not startup or run. The database connection is managed through SQL Server and encompasses three main components: server name, server log on information, and database name.
You are able to verify your database connection from the DATA.UDL file that is located in the ISRP program folder. By default, the ISRP program folder is installed on C:\Program Files\IntelliTrack\ISRP.
The DATA.UDL file is found in this directory.

To test the server and database connection for ISRP, select the Test
Connection button in the Data Link Properties screen.
5.
If the database is properly setup and connected to ISRP, the following message appears: Test Connection Succeeded. This means that the application can find the database and connect to it; and when you open
ISRP, the information found in this database will be included in the application forms, history, and reports.
196
6.
If the test connection fails, it is usually because the database cannot be located or the server name or logon information is wrong. If this is the case, the database may not have been created during installation, or the name is different than the one entered. Or, the server connection information to the database is entered incorrectly. We suggest that you contact your network administrator for help in determining this database connection information for the ISRP application.

Chapter 11
ISRP System Maintenance
SQL Server or SQL Express is an application that manages and runs your
IntelliTrack database. (If you do not have a full version of SQL Server on your system, ISRP installation will run and install SQL Express.) Part of the SQL Server and SQL Express 2008 installation includes the Microsoft
SQL Server Management Studio. You are able to use the Management Studio to access the server (data engine type) and database for your Intelli-
Track application. It can be a useful tool in monitoring and maintaining your database. By default the SQL Server Management Studio is installed on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE.
To connect to your database in SQL Server Management Studio, please refer to the steps that follow.
1.
2.
To open the SQL Server Management Studio, click Start > All Pro-
grams > Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
The Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio opens. The Connect to
Server dialog also appears onscreen.

It contains the server name, authentication, and database name of your
IntelliTrack database. If all necessary information is entered correctly, including server type (Database Engine), server name (name of your
IntelliTrack server/instance), authentication (logon method), username and password, you will be able to connect to your IntelliTrack database engine when you click the Connect button. (If you are unable to connect to your database, verify all of this information with your system administrator. It is possible that a piece of information is entered incorrectly.)
Once SQL Server Management Studio is connected to the database, go to the Object Explorer section in the left pane of the window and expand the databases and locate your IntelliTrack database. The screen

Backing Up the Database
We recommend backing up the database daily. You have two options for backing up your data:
1.
2.
By using SQL Server Management Studio.
By using the IntelliTrack Utilities
Database
Backup and
Restore with
SQL Server
Your ISRP v8.1 application is a client server system using SQL Express or
SQL Server to handle the database and Microsoft Access to handle much of the application. For optimum system performance, it is a good idea to regularly back up your database. You are able to back up and restore a back up from SQL Management Studio. For more information, please see
“Database Backup and Restore with SQL Server/SQL Express” on page 277 .

Utilities
•
•
•
•
IntelliTrack backup and restore batch utilities may be used to perform a daily database backup and a restore on the last backup. (The
databackup folder in your program directory must have proper permissions in order to create a backup database with the backup utility. Make sure that the databackup folder has the proper permissions: please refer
to “Databackup Folder Permissions” on page 201 .)
Use the Backup and Restore batch utilities to perform a daily database backup and restore on the last backup.
These utilities are found in your program folder:
C:\Program Files\IntelliTrack\ISRP\backup.bat
C:\Program Files\IntelliTrack\ISRP\restore.bat
To create a backup, double-click the backup utility file backup.bat.
A backup file of the database called backup.dat is placed in the
databackup folder in the ISRP program directory.
To restore the most recent database backup file found in the databackup folder in your ISRP directory, double-click the restore utility file
200
Chapter 11
ISRP System Maintenance
restore.dat. The most recent backup file, backup.dat, found in the databackup folder in your ISRP directory, is restored.
Important: The Backup and Restore batch files are created during the database installation and they use the database settings from the installation. If the database settings are wrong, the utilities will not work. If you change the database settings, you must update them in the batch files. (You may edit the batch files in Notepad.)
Databackup Folder Permissions
Important: The databackup folder in your program directory must have proper permissions in order to create a backup database with the backup utility.
In order to back up your database with the backup.bat utility, the
databackup folder in your IntelliTrack Program directory must have read/write access for the service account that SQL Server uses for the server instance containing the database being backed up. Typically, this account is named the Network Service account. To make sure that your
databackup folder contains the necessary permissions, please refer to the steps that follow.
1.
2.
First, identify the name of the service account that SQL Server is using for the server instance containing the database being backed up. In order to identify the name of the service account, go to your computer’s
Administrative Tools, which are available from the Control Panel.
From the Administrative Tools, select Services to reach the Services list.
In the list of Services, locate SQL Server (MSSQL). This listing contains a Log On As entry. This is the name of the Service Account for
SQL Server. Typically, it is named Network Service. Make a note of the Log On As entry name because this is the name of the service account. In order to create a backup database with the backup.bat utility, this account must have read/write access in the databackup folder.

Front-End File Backup
The IntelliTrack ISRP front-end data files are stored in the IntelliTrack
ISRP root folder (\Program Files\Intelli-
Track\ISRP\ISRP.ACCDB). Backup of the ISRP front-end is normally not needed since only temporary data is stored there. However, to backup the front-end, copy the ISRP.ACCDB file to another directory.
Compacting the Workstation
Running the Compact ISRP Workstation Utility reconditions the Intelli-
Track ISRP database, thus improving system performance. By default, this utility is run each time you close the application. If you want to run the utility manually, select from the ISRP Program Group menu: Start > All
Programs > IntelliTrack > ISRP > Compact Workstation. The ISRP workstation application must be closed on the PC in order to run this utility.

Introduction
The history option enables your system to continually monitor warehouse activity. Specific inventory, receiving, and picking transactions throughout the system are monitored and placed in a history table, which may be viewed at the View History form. History information is also included in several system reports.
Note: History logging keeps track of most warehouse transactions, including those generated on portable data terminals. It is a useful option for identifying who performed specific transactions; where (Site and Location) and when (Date) these transactions occurred; the item number involved in the transaction; and the transaction’s effect on item quantity.
We recommend using this option to track your system transactions.
When you use the History feature, the View History form is enabled. For more information about using the History feature, please refer to:

Verifying Database Connection
Your IntelliTrack application contains a database that stores your data and all data transactions. It is located on a PC or network server. In IntelliTrack v8.x applications, the database is managed by SQL Server or SQL Express.
During application installation, SQL login is set and your IntelliTrack database is created. To verify database creation and connection, you must know your SQL Login information (including server name and/or instance) and your IntelliTrack database name.
IntelliTrack
Database
The database is created during application installation. When you use the database that is created during application installation, it is automatically given a name. The default database name for each application is found in the table below.

Logon
Information
During application installation, the default logon information for SQL
Server is set as username “sa” and password IntelliTrack#2008. You are able to change the database name and SQL Server logon information.
However, for SQL 2008, a strong password is required. For more informa-
tion on the SQL login password requirements, see “SQL Server 2008 Login
Strong Password Requirements” on page 264
for more information.
SQL Server 2008 Login Strong Password Requirements
The default IntelliTrack password for SQL Server 2008 login is
IntelliTrack#2008. It is set during application installation. It is a strong password. If you want to use another password for SQL login, be aware

Database Maintenance that it must be a strong password. A strong password meets the following requirements:
1.
•
•
•
Can’t contain the account name or part of the account name in it.
Must be at least 8 characters long.
•
Must contain characters from at least 3 of the following 4 categories:
Latin uppercase (A-Z)
Latin lowercase (a-z)
Base 10 digits (0-9)
Non-alphanumeric characters such as exclamation point (!), dollar sign ($), number sign (#), or percent (%)
In order for you to successfully startup and run your IntelliTrack application, the database must be attached to your application. If your IntelliTrack application cannot find its database, it will not startup or run. The database connection is managed through SQL Server and encompasses three main components: server name, server log on information, and database name.
You are able to verify your database connection from the DATA.UDL file that is located in the IntelliTrack program folder. By default, the Intelli-
Track application program folder is installed on the computer’s C drive.
The table below shows the default path for each of IntelliTrack’s applications. The DATA.UDL file is found in this directory.

Database Connection Test Example
You are able to easily test your IntelliTrack application’s database connection by using the DATA.UDL file. In this example, the Check In-Out database connection is tested by using the DATA.UDL file. You may test any
IntelliTrack application’s database connection in the same way.
1.
2.
Go to the IntelliTrack Check In-Out program folder. By default it is installed on C:\Program Files\Intelli-
Track\DMS\Check In Out\8.1. Locate the DATA.UDL file.
Select the DATA.UDL file and then double-click it.
3.
The Data Link Properties screen appears. The Data Link Properties screen shows the database information that is currently stored by the application, including the server name, server logon information (username and password), and the database name on the server. Generally, this information is set during product installation.

If the database is properly setup and connected to Check In-Out, the following message appears: Test Connection Succeeded. This means that the application can find the database and connect to it; and when you open Check In-Out, the information found in this database will be included in the application forms, history, and reports.
268
Appendix A

6.
If the test connection fails, it is usually because the database cannot be located or the server name or logon information is wrong. If this is the case, the database may not have been created during installation, or the name is different than the one entered. Or, the server connection information to the database is entered incorrectly. We suggest that you contact your network administrator for help in determining this database connection information for the Check In-Out application.
Connecting to the Database with SQL
Server
Management
Studio
SQL Server or SQL Express is an application that manages and runs your
IntelliTrack database. (If you do not have a full version of SQL Server on your system, IntelliTrack application installation will run and install SQL
Express.) Part of the SQL Server and SQL Express 2008 installation includes the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. You are able to use the Management Studio to access the server (data engine type) and database for your IntelliTrack application. It can be a useful tool in monitoring and maintaining your database. By default the SQL Server Management Studio is installed on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE.
To connect to your database in SQL Server Management Studio, please refer to the steps that follow.
1.
2.
To open the SQL Server Management Studio, click Start > All Pro-
grams > Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
The Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio opens. The Connect to

We recommend backing up the database every day. Use SQL Server or an
IntelliTrack Utility to backup your database:
If you have the full version of SQL Server, this process is provided for
by SQL Server. (Please refer to “Database Backup and Restore with
SQL Server/SQL Express” on page 277
for more information.)
If you are using SQL Express (minimal version of SQL Server 2005 or
SQL Server 2008, containing only basic components of SQL Server), this process is provided for by SQL Express. (Please refer to
Backup and Restore with SQL Server/SQL Express” on page 277 for
more information.)
Another option for backing up your data is to use the IntelliTrack
Backup Utility and the IntelliTrack Restore Utility for database mainte-
nance. (Please refer to “IntelliTrack Backup and Restore Database Utilities” on page 293
for more information.)
SQL Server and SQL Express provides the backup functionality needed to protect data and backup the IntelliTrack database: Microsoft SQL Server

To create a backup, double-click the backup utility file backup.bat.
A backup file of the database called backup.dat is placed in the
databackup folder in your Check In Out directory.
To restore the most recent database backup file found in the databackup folder in your Check In Out directory, double-click the restore utility file restore.bat. The most recent backup file, backup.dat, found in the databackup folder in your Check In Out directory, is restored.
Important:The Backup and Restore batch files are created during the database installation and they use the database settings from the installation. If the database settings are wrong, the utilities will not work. If you change the database settings, you must update them in the batch files. (You may edit the batch files in Notepad.)
Databackup Folder Permissions
Important: The databackup folder in your program directory must have proper permissions in order to create a backup database with the backup utility.
In order to back up your database with the backup.bat utility, the
databackup folder in your IntelliTrack Program directory must have read/write access for the service account that SQL Server uses for the server instance containing the database being backed up. Typically, this account is named the Network Service account. To make sure that your
databackup folder contains the necessary permissions, please refer to the steps that follow.
1.
First, identify the name of the service account that SQL Server is using for the server instance containing the database being backed up. In order to identify the name of the service account, go to your computer’s
Administrative Tools, which are available from the Control Panel.

From the Administrative Tools, select Services to reach the Services list.
In the list of Services, locate SQL Server (MSSQL). This listing contains a Log On As entry. This is the name of the Service Account for
SQL Server. Typically, it is named Network Service. Make a note of the Log On As entry name because this is the name of the service account. In order to create a backup database with the backup.bat utility, this account must have read/write access in the databackup folder.

IntelliTrack ISRP is built on the three-tier architecture recommended by Microsoft for client/server environments.
Three separate areas integrate to form your IntelliTrack
ISRP product: the workstation application, the server, and the database; thus forming a scalable client/server that can handle a large number of users against a large database. IntelliTrack ISRP minimizes network traffic by shifting transactions to the back end through a middle tier that provides accessibility to upgrades.
A “kit” represents a preset group of items, of varying quantities. When the kitting process is used in the Intelli-
Track ISRP Inventory, Shipping, Receiving, Picking system, predetermined items that are part of a kit, are picked from inventory when the kit item number is selected as part of a pick order.
An inventory grouping that is identified by a number, alphanumeric character, etc.
Allows you to define a base unit (each) of measurement, and then higher increments of the base unit such as carton, bundle, and case for the items in stock. If you plan to implement multiple Units of Measure, it is important to accurately define and list these measurements so that they are available in the IntelliTrack ISRP application.
The amount of the item currently being picked against a picking order.
The amount of the item currently being received against a receiving order.
The amount of the item available.
The numeric identifier for a picking or receiving order. You have option to enable auto numbering for picking and receiving orders in the System Options form. Be aware of sort order constraints when entering order numbers.
Make sure you include enough spaces to act as a placeholder for the number. If using auto numbering for your orders, we recommended using a new starting number with at least 5 numerals (10000).
The system status of the order. An open order has not been fully processed by the system. A closed order has been fully processed by the system.
Receive new orders into inventory or pick existing orders electronically, without the use of a printed document.
