Think Globally (Analyze on Server) Conversion Issues (v5.1)
Existing ClickTracks Server datasets can be converted to the new Think Globally (Analyze on Server) processing scheme to take advantage of the speed benefits of this new feature. The dataset conversion can only take place in the Think Locally (Analyze on Client PC) (legacy datasets) to the new Think Globally (Analyze on Server) direction.
Converting Existing Server Datasets to Think Globally (Analyze on Server)
Existing server datasets can be converted to the new Think Globally (Analyze on Server) scheme by editing the dataset properties. Check the "Analyze on Server" checkbox. Click Apply and then OK to save your property changes. The server dataset will be converted to Think Globally (Analyze on Server) processing on the next scheduled processing of this dataset. To process the dataset immediately, select the dataset name, right-click, and select Run Schedule Now.
Impact on Client Datasets
Existing client datasets (legacy datasets) can still synchronize to existing server datasets after converting to version 5.1. The software on the server and client will function as in prior versions.
If a server dataset is converted to Think Globally (Analyze on Server), existing client datasets will still be able to synchronize data from the server, but the client dataset will still be in Think Locally (Analyze on Client PC), and it will not take advantage of the available speed enhancements.
Important! It is recommended that a new client dataset be created on any dataset that is converted to Think Globally (Analyze on Server) processing. Use the New Dataset Wizard to create a new client dataset in the Pro Client software on the desktop machines.
