Access ArrayTrack™ Using Locally-Installed Version
 

Image of the CD label used for the ArrayTrack local copy   ArrayTrack™ is only available on CD. Before requesting a CD  please ensure you have the appropriate Oracle license for your institute to run the software.  You can request a CD by contacting Dr. Weida Tong at (870) 543-7142.

 

*** YOU MUST HAVE AN ORACLE LICENSE TO RUN ARRAYTRACK LOCALLY ***

ArrayTrack™ is a client-server application consisting of a Java front-end and an Oracle database serving as the data repository. It has a client application that runs on a user's workstation and an ORACLE database running on a server. You need to setup the server first before installing the client software from our website (detailed instructions for this installation are included on the CDs).

Server Requirements:

  1. Oracle Database Standard or Enterprise Edition, Version 9i or above.
  2. Database storage of 40 GB of disk space for a basic installation. (The storage requirements will increase significantly if users wish to use ArrayTrack™ as the repository for their microarray data.)
  3. 2GB or more of memory for the Oracle instance. Refer to Oracle documentation for further information.
  4. Oracle import utility (imp) version 9.2.0.1 or higher is required in order to import data into your database. (Windows batch scripts and UNIX shell scripts are included.)
  5. A web server (optional). A web server is required when you run ArrayTrack™ client in prompted mode. It is used to host a java web start (.jnlp) file. A web server is not required to run ArrayTrack™ in unprompted mode. (See the "How To Install" section of the ArrayTrack™ client setup)
  6. To have optimal performance, we suggest that you install the ArrayTrack™ database on a dedicated machine with optimized I/O. Consult with a Database Administrator for details.

Client Workstation Requirements:

  1. ArrayTrack™ client needs to be running in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5 or above.
  2. The database can be installed on the client machine for single user use.
