Operations Overview

The main Office System operations are

• the preparation of new databases
• post-processing of track measurement data collected in the field
• cleanup and editing of the data
• analytical calculations
• and production of reports

For best results, activities should be carried out in that order.

Some Enterprise level databases are generated from standalone MS Access databases; others are preconfigured as Oracle databases.

If your Enterprise level database is not preconfigured as an Oracle database, we recommend that the time-and-CPU-intensive work of data processing, cleanup and editing be done using standalone MS Access databases. Only after a new run has been brought to production quality should it be imported to the Enterprise database where it becomes visible to end-users.
