• SQLSysClrTypes.msi
• SharedManagementObjects.msi

• SQLSysClrTypes.msi
• SharedManagementObjects.msi

• supplier price files,
• your own internally-used items, or
• other brand items

1. Create a tab-delimited file - What that means is that the field values should be separated by a "tab". The file must have a header row that contains the column names. The following columns MUST be in the file (the order is not important):
   • CATNO - Catalog Number upto 30 characters
   • BRAND - Upto 50 characters. This is to help you identify the items when imported into your list. This can contain the Brand or supplier name.
   • DESCRIPTION - Upto 50 characters
   • TRADE - Trade Price
   • QTY - How many for the Trade Price - this can be decimal - eg: 2.4
   • UOM - Unit of measure - 2 characters and must be one of the following:
     • EA = Each
     • PK = Pack
     • RL = Roll / Reel
     • LN = Length
     • BX = Box
2. Import the file into TRASER 2.0 - You can import the file in one of two ways:
   1. Choose File->Import User Items
   2. Open list "User-Added Items", if it is not open already. Right click in that list anywhere and choose "Import User Items"
   Either way, you will be presented with the same screen. Simply follow the prompts and you are done.

Handy hints while creating the file:

1. To specify 2.4 metre length - use QTY=2.4 and UOM=LN
2. To specify a Pack of 100 - use QTY=100 and UOM=PK
3. To specify a Roll of 350 metres - use QTY=350 and UOM=RL
4. If your item's price is POA, then specify the price as 999999.99. TRASER 2.0 will display POA for that price.
5. If your file is an Excel spreadsheet, simply save it as "Text (Tab delimited)"

1. Open the list.
2. Right-click anywhere in that list and you will be presented with a contextual menu.
3. Select 'Password-Protect List' from the menu options.
4. Provide the password and re-confirm the password.
5. Click 'Set Password' and you are done.

1. Locate the traser.exe.config file in your TRASER 2.0 install directory.
2. Open the file in notepad and search for the key "EnablePortSharing". Set the value of this key to "true". If this key is not available, then your TRASER 2.0 installation is not up-to-date. Please update it by double-clicking and running the wyupdate.exe file.
3. Once you have edited the key above, please save the file and close it down.
4. Open up the "Local services" panel. You can do this by opening up Control Panel and then searching for "local services".
5. Inside that panel, look for "Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service". Please see image below.
6. Double-click the "Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service".
7. It will present you with the screen below. Note the highlighted path.
8. Leave the panel open and open up a windows explorer and navigate to the highlighted path.
9. Locate a file called SMSvcHost.exe.config. Open it in notepad.
10. Refer to the directions below to add all the SIDS of all the users who would be using TRASER 2.0 on the terminal server:
    1. You need to get SIDS of all users. You can download PsGetSid (this will give you the Security Identifier - SID for your user)
    2. Run psgetsid.exe to get the SID ( should look something like this S-1-5-21-1754548885-2506776180-2303324228-4659 )
    3. By default the SMSvcHost.exe.config contains a section which has a child which has a child. The IMPORTANT part if you are using an editor that does not do syntax highlight for XML - THE ABOVE SECTION IS COMMENTED by DEFAULT so adding child has not effect.
    4. YOU NEED TO ADD A NEW SECTION with it's children sections to make it work ( or uncomment the existing one and removing the // comments which are not valid xml ).
    5. See below how the file should look, you can download a sample file here and edit it accordingly.
11. Once you have added the relevant SIDS, please save the file and close it down.
12. Go back to the Net.Tcp Port Sharing service panel and set the startup type to "Automatic" and hit apply.
13. Start the service, or if it is already running - please restart the service. If it fails to start, then your earlier editing of the file was not accurate. That file does not like comments in it, please remove any comments in that file, save it and then try starting the service.
