Invoice Data and Statistics

From TapeTrack Wiki

[edit] Overview

The TapeTrack Framework Server records details of all significant events in its Journal Files. These Journal Files consist of two seperate files; one being an index and the other data.

These files can be used for the purposes of billing, charge-back or general statistics.

TapeTrack Provides a suite of Command Line Programs that can be used to manage the Journal Files and also extract and display information.

[edit] Extracting Statistical Data

To extract statistical information from the Journal Files use the TMSS10LogStatsExtract program.

This program will create a single Statistics file for each customer that meets the customer filter argument. These Statistics Files can then be used as input to programs such as TMSS10LogStatsProcess which can further process and manipulate the statistical data.

[edit] Generating Invoice Data

TapeTrack supports the import of billing data into various accounting programs such as QuickBooks. Before statistical information extracted by TMSS10LogStatsExtract can be imported it must first be pre-processed by TMSS10LogStatsProcess.

Once the data has been pre-processed it can be imported as XML data into the accounting package.
