File Tracker tracks a document on your local workstation after you check it out from an object store. This tracking feature allows the application to easily identify the document should you want to cancel the checkout, save or check in the document. Depending on your site preference settings, File Tracker can automatically delete a document from your local workstation once you add, save content or check in that document to an object store or if you cancel a checkout.
If you are using Application Integration, Application Integration BCS, or Workplace XT, you do not need to install File Tracker. It is installed with either application. If you already have a previous version of File Tracker 3.5.x installed, see the Upgrade Application Integration and File Tracker section below.
NOTE File Tracker requires Internet Explorer® 5.5 with Windows 2000 SP3 or later or Windows XP. ActiveX must be configured on Internet Explorer.
Upgrading to the most current version of Workplace Application Integration or File Tracker or Workplace XT Application Integration involves installing the new version on top of your existing Workplace or Workplace XT applications. The upgrade installation program detects the earlier version and notifies you before proceeding with the upgrade.
During the upgrade, the installation program detects the Microsoft applications that were previously integrated with Workplace or Workplace XT and retains that configuration. If you currently have Workplace File Tracker installed and want to use Workplace XT File Tracker, you first must uninstall Workplace File Tracker, and then install Workplace XT File Tracker.
