Installing INFO-Web G3
Make sure that you have completed the preparatory steps before installing INFO-Web G3 in your system.
All itinerary searches from the user are submitted to the CTM Server, which processes itinerary searches using data in the cache.
Setting up the CTM Server
A CTM Server must be set up on a machine that has network access (communicates with database server and Hiwire server).
Loading the Cache
Once the CTM Server is started, load the CTM Server cache with the current live data. Loading the cache means retrieving the schedule data of a sign-up period for all services, which all the user workstations, INFO-Web, and INFO-IVR use for trip planning and schedule information.
Editing the Services File
In order for Hiwire to communicate with the CTM Server, the services file (on the CTM Server machine) must be edited.
Setting Context Properties
Trapeze Services use the context properties to be able to access the centrally defined and maintained property values.
Context properties allows you to access the centrally defined and maintained property values.

Note that some categories have several sub-categories while some properties are shown as categories on their own, for example, Filter Lines By StopId.
