How to use Altap Trace Server
=============================

Start Altap Trace Server (tserver.exe). You should start it before starting
Altap Salamander, because Altap Salamander connects to it at startup. SDK
and Preview Build (PB) versions of Altap Salamander can start Altap Trace
Server automatically when starting and Altap Trace Server is not running.
See window menu of Altap Salamander (click icon in top left corner of its
main window), Autostart Altap Trace Server command.

Altap Trace Server adds icon to system tray. You can open its window by
clicking on this icon. Several commands are also available in right-click
context menu on this icon.

You can close Altap Trace Server window using ESC or Alt+F4 or click on
Close button, but it does not end Altap Trace Server. If you want to end
Altap Trace Server, choose Exit command from menu Log.

Altap Trace Server can collect messages from many applications at once.
The default settings is to drop all messages when new process connects and
to activate Altap Trace Server whenever TRACE_E (error) message arrives.
See configuration in menu Options / Configuration for all options.

Altap Trace Server can open source file and focus the line with TRACE message
directly in MS Visual C++ 2008/2012. If you want to enable this feature, you
need to add OpenEdit9/OpenEdit11 add-in to VC2008/VC2012. See how to do it
later in this text. When add-in is added, you can use Enter key or double
click on TRACE message (except on Message column) in Altap Trace Server to
see it in VC2008/VC2012.

Adding OpenEdit9/OpenEdit11 add-in to VC2008/VC2012: At first, you need to
register it, go to Start Menu, type "cmd.exe", right-click found "cmd.exe"
and choose "Run As Administrator". Go to tserver\openedit-vc2008 or
tserver\openedit-vc2012 directory and run: regsvr32 openedit9.dll or
regsvr32 openedit11.dll. Add-in should be enabled by default, you can
see it in VC2008/VC2012 in menu Tools / Add-ins Manager as
"OpenEdit9 - Open Editor in VS" or "OpenEdit11".

If you have enabled "Exact Counter [ms]" column, you can see time between
focused TRACE message and all other TRACE messages with high precision.
Simply turn on/off this mode by pressing the Space key.


How to Uninstall Altap Trace Server
===================================

Altap Trace Server uses the following key in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Altap\Trace Server. If you want to uninstall it, just remove this
key in registry, if you have registered OpenEdit9/OpenEdit11 add-in for
VC2008/VC2012, go to tserver\openedit-vc2008 or tserver\openedit-vc2012
directory and run (open cmd.exe "as admin"): regsvr32 /u openedit9.dll or
regsvr32 /u openedit11.dll, and finally remove tserver directory (with
tserver.exe) from your disk.
