Trapeze6 has two generic applications, the Service Shell and the Client Shell that you must configure before using the TDSE application.
Installing a database for TDSE
TSDE requires a database to be used (for example, a new database or database backup) Trapeze6 v21 build.
About Configuring the Service Shell
Service shell configuration information is saved in text files called profile files.
Updating the Profile File
Profile files located in the same directory as the TDSE and identify the database.
Service Shell Requirements
Profile files for configuring the Service shell must list component files and service groups required for running Trapeze applications.
Specifying Data Source and Server Information
Using an application that is provided with TSDE, you can specify data source and server information for the Service shell.
Configuring the Client Shell
To configure the Client Shell, you must specify screen modules, or plug-ins, to load in the Client Shell.
Customizing the TSDE Screen
You can change how your screen appears with the Customize and Extensions features in the Tools menu.
Logging On
When you launch the Trapeze6 Client Shell, the User Login dialog is displayed, prompting you to log on.
Logging Off
It is important that you log Off of the system properly. Failure to do so could lead to the corruption of the database.
Trapeze Services use the Context properties mechanism to be able to access the centrally defined and maintained property values.
TDSE Context Properties
Context properties can persist either in an ini file or in the database. Some do not have persistence at all and are always defined at run time.
Setting TSDE Permission Keys
You can set permission keys to grant or limit access features of the TDSE to users.
Using TSDE Export
Exporting data is the process of sending data from one application to another application while importing data is the process of loading a file, text, data, etc. prepared with one application into another application.
Importing data refers to processes such as loading a file, text, or data prepared with one application into another application while exporting data is the process of sending data from one application to another application.
About Color Codes in Mapping Stop Attributes
When mapping stop attributes, a color code is used to identify the differences between the mapping in the ini file and the structure of the existing database.
Importing Runs and Roster Data
You can use Importing Runs and Roster to import scheduling data into Trapeze OPS.
Converting Custom Data
The Custom Convert feature is applied when data created in a third party application must be converted into XML files before they can be imported into a Trapeze application.
