Notes

  • Standalone and WAR versions are totally compatible. The difference is only in supplied components.
  • If you use HSQLDB, do not delete tsdb.lck, tsdb.log, tsdb.properties and tsdb.script. files
  • Directories with indices and attached files can be saved anywhere, but they just need to be mentioned in respective entries in trackstudio.properties.
