2. Issues Resolved
2.1 Licensing & Deployment
In the Version tab of the Information Panel in Tally.Server 9, when the option to install the
latest release was clicked, Tally.ERP 9 Install Wizard was opening.
In the Startup screen of Tally.Server 9, the complete list of License Servers was not being
displayed when the option F2: License Server was clicked.

When the wrong proxy was configured, the appropriate error messages were not being
displayed while performing licensing operations.
When the Test button was clicked in Tally.Server 9 installer for the IP and Port of Tally.ERP 9
License, the status was being diplayed as No License, though Tally.ERP 9 was in licensed
mode.
If the Tally.Server Name provided in the Installation Wizard exceeded 51 characters in
length, the message Server Name should not exceed 51 characters was being displayed
while saving the Tally.Server Configuration settings.

1. Enhancements
Now, the administrator can schedule Tally.Server 9 to automatically create backup of data at a
specified time, and at a desired location.
Tally.Server Monitor has been enhanced to retain information (number of reports viewed,
printed, edited, etc.) from the last session, even after Tally.Server 9 service/system is
restarted. This ensures continuity of monitoring, giving a real-time picture of operations.
The e-mail ID last entered in Name of Tally.NET User field will be retained. The user,
therefore, doesnt have to key in the ID for every login.
The buttons N: Sort Next and P: Sort Previous have been renamed to N: Sort Next
Column and P: Sort Previous Column respectively. This will provide better understanding
of the purpose of these buttons to the user, which is to sort information being displayed
according to the counts in Viewed/Printed/Exported/Edited columns.
Now, filling of From and To date fields is compulsory. This will ensure that only the necessary
data is filtered and displayed.
2. Issues Resolved
In Startup screen, the options S: Surrender License and S: Manage Server were having
the same shortcut key (Alt+S).

Surrender License, and the issue has been resolved.

displayed.

1. Tally.Server 9
Tally.Server 9, a new product which can be installed in the server machine and run as a service,
has been developed by Tally to provide an unparalleled usability experience for secure and concur-
rent data access in your multi user environment. It is an extremely simple-to-deploy product which
also provides advanced monitoring and administrative control:
Performing operations in a frictionless environment: Multiple users will be able to
simultaneously load companies, save transactions, export reports, print reports, import data,
take backup and perform other data related activities without experiencing any downtime or
wait state.
Keeping the data file safely invisible and providing controlled access: The data files
will be managed through Tally.Server 9. The physical location or path for the data on the
server need not be disclosed or made accessible to any user. The clients just require the name
of the data server, which will be enough to access and operate Tally.ERP 9. Furthermore,
operations for company data management, namely Backup, Restore, Rewrite, Create
Company, and Split Company, are also controlled with server level permissions.
Analysing system usage and user activities to optimise the various processes and
time spent on them: Since the access is controlled through Tally.Server 9, the authorised
users will be able to monitor who is currently logged in, which companies are open, track the
activities and even disconnect users if such a requirement arises.
Minimising instances of system unavailability: Availability of the system is important for
any business. With Tally.Server 9, data backup can be taken anytime without affecting either
the speed of access for users or the reliability of data that is backed up. In other words, users
can continue recording transactions or generating reports while the backup is happening -
There is zero downtime for backup.
Currently in a multi user environment, database for Tally.ERP 9 Series A is shared with users via the
Windows Shared service. This process has its own limitations with regard to data security, perfor-
mance, and speed during concurrent usage by multiple users.
Benefits for the business
More than 100 client machines can access data at a time.
Multiple users can concurrently read (e.g. view reports) and write (e.g. record transactions)
data.
Administrators can have control over who accesses the data on the server; permissions
provided will be user-specific.
