  Fitness-Tutor Trac -- 4dserver

Labels: 

The GC4D server runs several instances of its software to provide attendance tracking for the Fitness Center, Nursing, and Center for Learning.

[Tutortrac], [Fitnesstrac]

Client stations access the software via a web page to the server IP http://140.198.44.75/ .  The Port determines the instance of trac being accessed.  The default port 80 is fitness, 81 and 82 are CTL and Nursing.  Within each session/port are specific roles/users/terminals which can be limited to certain IP workstations and filtered to specific needs.  ie Fitness has 3 users representing the main fitness center, adaptive PE, and the powerhouse weightroom.  Each sees a different filter of students signed in.

Specifically, client stations are recognized by the 4d server by their IP.  Changing the IP will cause the client station to lose communication with the server. 

Accounts are managed from an admin account and the main menu showing on the trac page.

A userguide exists in the system but the admin needs to download it.

Troubleshooting:
Client workstation no longer logs in properly.  Try clearing the cache and cookies for the browser.  Might need to clear all cache and cookies manually from all profiles.  Cookies go to your hips. 

If a message indicating that 4D Tools needs to be run when trying to start the service, carefully follow these instructions:

FitnessTrac 4D Tools Instructions

Quit the FitnessTrac server application by clicking the QUIT button on the window that says 'Tracking Software by Redrock Software'.
Then go to the FitnessTrac folder andcopy the Fitness.4DD and .4dr files to a Backups folder.  You can overwrite any existing files
in the Backups folder.

Now go to the 4DTools folder inside the FitnessTrac folder and double-click 4DTools.exe.  You will receive an open data file window;
choose the type of file as Compiled Database.Navigate to the FitnessTrac folder and choose to open the Fitness.4DC file.

When tools are open, you will receive one of two options:

   1. An alert that there are errors in the data file with options to Repair, or
   2. Four tabs; Information, Maintain, Repair, and Structure.

1)      If you received the four tabs, then skip this section.

a.      There is a section on Structure, Records, and Indexes.  One or more of these sections may contain damage.  In a damaged section,
        you will have options to repair the damage. In each case, select to 'Check and Repair All' damaged records or indexes then click
        the Repair button.  During the Repair, you may be asked to name a new data file.  Leave the name as Fitness_2.4DD and click Save.
        The window will change to announce when the repairs are complete.  Now move on to section 2.

2)      There are four tabs from the 4D Tools menu; Information, Maintain, Repair, and Structure.

a.      First, go to the Maintain tab and click to Compact the data file.  This will ask you to name the new data file.
        Save the name as Fitness2.4DD.

b.      Now, go to the Repair tab and choose to Recover by Tags.  Save the new data file as Fitness_2.4DD.  Repeat the Recover 4 times,
        incrementing the file name by one each time.  On the last Recover, name the data file FitnessFinal.4DD.

c.       After the final Recover has completed, choose to Repair All on the data file.  Repeat the Repair All 4 times.  After the final
         repair, Quit 4DTools by clicking the QUIT button.

d.      You will now have multiple data files (4dd and 4DR extensions) in your FitnessTrac directory.  We only want to save:

    FitnessFinal.4DD
    FitnessFinal.4DR

Move the other .4DD and .4DR files to another folder location.  Then rename FitnessFinal.4DD to Fitness.4DD and FitnessFinal.4DR to Fitness.4DR.
Now double-click the Fitness.exe to start the FitnessTrac server application again.

The tools have been completed.

Support of Fitness trac and tutor trac software is contracted to the parent company [RedRock] Software.
www.go-redrock.com,  www.fitnesstrac.com and www.tutortrac.com
Support is provided to the server by remote console control by either...
Kelly Corder  480.752.8533 x206  or David x204

Fitness 140.198.38.161
Adaptive PE 140.198.35.213 - 10.1.18.236
Powerhouse 140.198.35.223
Nursing 140.198.?
CFL tutor 140.198.?
Old 4d server 140.198.39.175
curent 4d server 140.198.44.75

I've been placed as the administrator for the GC4D server.  The tasks I have determined is the following:

  •   Create a new server for the [TutorTrac]/[FitnessTrac] software, with the old GC4D server still in service
    • This server is currently on the ESX Virtual Server
  • Copy and test the [TutorTrac]/[FitnessTrac] software on the new server (named eGC4D)
  • Upon proper testing, re-create the eGC4D server, and copy the latest [TutorTrac]/[FitnessTrac] data
    • At the same time, bring down the old GC4D server, and inform all participating parties of the change
  • Use the UNC name as the address from then on (egc4d.gccaz.edu)
