Deployment methods And Using

Deployment methods

There are multiple ways to install Trimble Business Center on a workstation. The most common method is to run the Setup.exe setup launcher directly and selecting the installation options from the wizard-based interface.
For deploying the application to computers across the network, several command line interface options are available for silent or unattended installations.
You can use the Setup.exe in a command line to select, configure, and install the required packages collectively; or you can configure and install each individual package separately from the command line.
For more information about using the Setup.exe setup launcher to install TBC, see “Deploy using Setup.exe”.
For more information about installing packages separately, see “Deploy individual packages”.

Note: Users must have Administrator privileges to install Trimble Business Center, regardless of the deployment method. If they do not have Administrator privileges, the setup must be deployed using the Windows Run As command to execute the program as an Administrator. See your Windows documentation for more information.

Deploy using Setup.exe

The Trimble Business Center Setup.exe setup launcher bundles and installs together packages required by the application and for supporting specific commands or workflows into a single installation.
The most common installation is to run the Setup.exe directly in an attended wizard-based interface. The Setup.exe can also accept a number of command line parameters for silent or unattended installations. This section describes the various deployment options through the command line.

Configure application and project settings

This section describes how to most easily and efficiently configure Trimble Business Center on multiple network computers to use the same application and project settings.

Configuration files location

All of the configuration files listed in this section are, by default, stored in the following folder: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Trimble\Trimble Business Center\

Project templates

Any project can be saved in Trimble Business Center as a project template that can be used by other users in your organization to create new projects with the same project settings. The saved template can include any of the following:

Company, user, and file information, such as field and office operators, contact numbers, and addresses
Coordinate system information, such as a datum transformation and geoid model
Unit settings, such as coordinate formatting
View settings, such as a plot scale and grid line definition
View filters and selection sets
Computational settings, such as horizontal and vertical tolerances

Each custom project template is stored in a .vct file in the default location listed in “Configuration files location” earlier in this section.

To share a project template, you can copy the .vct file into the equivalent folder on each target computer, or to the Template folder defined in the File Location options (Tools > Options) in Trimble Business Center. For more information, see the “File Location Options” topic in the online Help. For information on creating a project template, see the “Create a Project Template” topic in the online Help.

Application options

Application-wide options, such as startup preferences, default file locations, Internet download parameters, and display properties can be shared by copying the User.options file into the equivalent folder on each target computer. The User.options file is stored in the default location listed in “Configuration files location” earlier in this section.

Note: All folder locations for the File Location option must exist on all computers you are configuring.

For more information on setting application options, see the “Choose Application Options” topic in the online Help.

Toolbar layouts

Customized toolbars can be shared by copying the Layout file into the equivalent folder on each target computer.
The Layout file is stored in the default location listed in “Configuration files location” earlier in this section.

Reports

To share customized reports on the network, you can save the report layout file (.RDLC) to a shared location on the network. You can then create or customize a report using the path to the .RDLC file. Finally, you can copy the report definition file (.RDF) from your computer into the equivalent folder on each target computer. The .RDF file is stored in the default location listed in “Configuration files location” earlier in this section. For more information, see the “Create, Customize, and Run a Report” topic in the online Help.

Internet data providers

If you have customized the list of data providers, you can share the list of sites by copying the INetDownload.xml file from your computer into the equivalent folder on each target computer. The INetDownload.xml file is stored in the default location listed in “Configuration files location” earlier in this section. For more information, see the “Add New Data Providers” and the “Add New Trimble IP-Enabled Receivers” topics in the online Help.
