Alexsys Team-Web
Alexsys Team-Web is a web- based
version of Team that permits you to access Team via an Internet,
Intranet, or dialup. Team-Web is an add-on product to Team that
works in conjunction with Alexsys Team or Alexsys Team-SQL. A
fully functional Trial version of Team-Web is included in the
standard install package. Team-Web setup instructions are found
in the Team-Web subdirectory of Team located on your server (e.g.
C:\Alexsys\Team\TeamWeb\install.txt).

Alexsys
Team-SQL
Team-SQL is the client/server
version of Team that allows you to use Alexsys Team with
Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle Server. Team has been optimized
using native SQL to achieve maximum performance with minimal
network traffic. This makes it much faster at database sorts and
filtering while maintaining our easy to use interface. Other than
the performance boost, the features and feel of Team are
unchanged.
Team-SQL takes Team to a new level
with:
- Faster performance
- Rock solid reliability
- Support for large databases
- Support for more users
- Support for Wide Area
Networks
- Database security
- Compatibility with your
existing databases and tools
Our database utility has been
updated with a new interface and an 'SQL Setup' option for simple
upgrades. The process is as follows:
- Install Microsoft SQL Server
or Oracle Server
- Create a Database for Team to
use
- Run the Team Database Utility
and fill in the database and login information
- Press the Connect and Upload
buttons to copy your database to the server
Standard Team 98, even when
registered, can run the trial version of Team-SQL, so there is
nothing new to download. For additional information on setting up
a Team-SQL see the "Setting Up Your Team-SQL Database"
topic in the on-line help file.

Team WebEntry
WebEntry is an add-on product to
Alexsys Team 98 that lets you add a web page to your web site to
enter work requests. Employees or customers can enter support
calls or questions and the information is automatically stored in
your existing Team database (just like we do with our support
page).
Web users cannot view the Team
database so your database is fully secure.
To run WebEntry, you need:
- Alexsys Team 98 installed and
functioning,
- a Web Server or Web Service
Provider,
- a UNIX, Microsoft Internet
Information Server (IIS), or Netscape Web Server
- the ability to run PERL
scripts on your server*,
- the sendmail program*,
- a POP account used
exclusively for and by WebEntry,
- a PC capable of reading
e-mail*, and
- an SMTP mail server for
notifications and error messages.

More Installation Notes
- If you are using a Windows NT
server, run this install directly from the NT server.
- Teamupd.exe is a server update installation
and should not be installed on client PCs. Clients are automatically
updated the next time they run Team after the server has been updated, so
there is nothing to manually install on a client PC.
- Installing this build requires 30% more space
than versions v98.6.1 or earlier. Before installing, be sure that your
server or SQL server has at least twice the amount of database space free as
currently in use.
- Please refer to "Important Information" for more information about recent changes to
Team.
- Team-Web: Make sure you are running with the latest Internet Explorer 5 update to the Java Virtual Machine to avoid/fix date problems that
occurred after the Year 2000.

"Customize Tabs" to support the new Time Tab for Time Recording.

updated to v98.8.5, your Contact field will be preserved and the new Contact field supplied in Team will be
