Tally.Server 9 - a powerful data server that will redefine the efficiency of medium and large businesses that have multiple users performing various activities simultaneously. It is an extremely simple-to-deploy product that provides concurrent, fast and secure access to Tally data as well as advanced monitoring and administrative control. As a result of this, businesses will directly experience an increase in productivity, better utilization of man-hours, enhanced speed of operations, superior business performance. Now do more with the time and man-power cost saved.

The Tally.Server 9 technology is built with multi-version concurrency capabilities for providing most efficient scalability. The requests from all user get equal priority and get solved in parallel with others, rather than sequentially. There is no queuing of access or modification requests and so every user will feel as if he were working with his own local copy or snapshot of data. This snapshot of data is like a timed and personal version created dynamically and instantly for the user as he starts his activity.

 Tally.Server 9 will ensure that the data access/modification by a user is isolated to his/her own version snapshot, thus allowing other users to operate smoothly. The amazing part is that these time versions work without consuming any noticeable time or memory and the performance remains stable even as users get added.

 Further when a user sees a report, it is understood as a 'Read' request in the system. Similarly, when a user saves a transaction, it is a 'Write' request. Most systems will recommend putting up separate servers for extensive read and write operations to be performed efficiently. However, separate servers can impact how 'current' the available data in reports is, as it needs to be constantly or periodically copied and updated from the 'write' server to the 'read' server for reporting. So if the transaction data is copied to the reporting server once a day, the report will reflect the state of the previous day. Similarly if it is copied every hour the report will be possible only up to that point. Since Tally.Server 9 uses multi-version concurrency, it can efficiently manage both read and write requests simultaneously on the same server without any issues and provide real time data as it is happening for any business.

Overall it leads to lower cost of ownership, lower maintenance and higher efficiency of operations for any medium to large business needing an enterprise grade system.

Following scenarios will help us understand better

Company Loading: No queues and waiting to start the day for any user In Normal Windows Sharing & Security ' In the larger organizations, many users login into Tally to load the company in the morning around the same time. The current system queues up all such requests and processes them in serial. As a result, based on the number of users and the time taken to load the company in a single machine, the total time gets multiplied. So if there are 25 users and it takes 1 minute each to load a company with large data, the first user can pass his transaction only after 25 minutes.

In Tally.Server 9 environment ' Tally.Server 9 processes all such requests in parallel i.e. concurrent users are able to load the company at the same time. All users of the company will be loaded within acceptable time limit unlike shared environment where request for loading the company is queued up and takes a very long time.

II. Simultaneous read and write: Operate smoothly without interruptions/ blockades throughout the day

In Normal Windows Sharing & Security ' Retrieving large Reports and Data Entry - during data entry if a user triggers a report which takes time to load, the other user who is doing data entry will be stuck till the report is retrieved completely.

In Tally.Server 9 environment ' Tally.Server 9 allows simultaneous read and write and hence none of the users in the network will ever face performance issues when other users generate and check the required reports from the system.

III. Everybody can work even while backup is done

In Normal Windows Sharing & Security ' While Backup operation is taking place, all the users have to wait for the Backup operation to be completed.

In Tally.Server 9 environment ' Tally.Server 9 allows the Backup Operations to be performed anytime and the other users are not affected due to this maintenance work.

IV. Continue working even with abnormal system interruptions

In Normal Windows Sharing & Security ' When a user is in waiting mode, because the system is performing large write operation, and/or if the application is terminated by force, the data will go into unknown state. The system will force the users to rewrite data in order to maintain the consistency of data. This will cause significant delay in working.

In Tally.Server 9 environment ' With Tally.Server 9, the instances of the system "hanging" due to waiting are close to nil. Even if a user happens to terminate the application, it will not affect any other instances and the data will always be safe and protected.

The Complete installation/ implementation of Tally.Server 9 will not take more than 1 hour. Your preferred partner will be in touch with you during & after the evaluation period of Tally.Server 9.

Tally.Server 9 is an easy-to deploy product. Ideally, Tally.Server 9 implementation should not require any training. However, if you require any kind of help, you may get in touch with your preferred Tally service partner and discuss the requirement with them.

Short answer is YES. However long answer is as below:

Today, out of memory issues in Tally.ERP9 arises of multiple reasons.

I.Due to volume of data (masters etc.)

II.Volume of entries (large number of ledger entries / bills etc. in a single voucher being edited etc.

III.Non-Optimized code (Default / STAT or customized TDLs)

IV.The Series A architecture itself…

Mainly when we get out of memory issues, it is always good to first analyze if this is because of what reasons as above. If this is because of (a) or (b) the x64 bit will definitely help (assuming user has 64 bit hardware and required resources like RAM).

Other cases like (c) we should first try to optimize the code so that all customers (even on 32 bit Tally.ERP) can benefit out of this.

If it is because of (d) we can try with x64 and most cases this would solve the issue.

NOTE: WE have to be very careful that for EVERY out of memory issue the universal solutions cannot be to upgrade to x64. We have to analyze above cases. And also we should test those cases, with x64 bit and then confirm the customers.

Tally.Server 9 is an easy-to deploy product. Ideally, Tally.Server 9 implementation should not require any training. However, if you require any kind of help, you may get in touch with your preferred Tally service partner and discuss the requirement with them.

It is not mandatory to remove Windows Data Folder sharing to access data from Tally.Server 9. However, for better usage & manageability of Tally data through Tally.Server 9 Data Endpoints, it is recommended that you 'un-share' the windows Data folder sharing.

We recommend 'un-sharing' of windows data folder to enjoy the benefits of Tally.Server 9. Once the users start accessing the data from Tally.Server 9 service, the shared location will become irrelevant as the users will not be able to access the same for any activity on Tally.ERP 9.

With Tally.Server 9, it is not possible to maintain Tally data on Cloud. .

 

One of the major benefits of Tally.Server 9 is Data Reliability; it ensures data consistency even if network connectivity is lost. However you will get a message "Connection error: Unable to connect to Network" in the specific client where Network is disconnected.

One of the major benefits of Tally.Server 9 is Data Reliability. The Tally.Server 9 ensures data consistency even in intense use environments and has zero impact of any abnormal client shutdown. Without Tally.Server 9 ' While any of the users is in waiting mode, as system is performing large write operation and if the application is terminated by force, the data will go into unknown state. The system will force the users to rewrite data in order to maintain the consistency of data. This will cause significant delay in working.

But with Tally.Server 9, this state will never occur and if any of the users terminate the application, it will not affect any other instances and the data will always be safe and protected.

Similarly any kind of abnormal activity at the client end will ensure that it is kept isolated to the client and neither the data on the server nor the activities of any other user gets impacted. This ensures that any loss of time due to system un-availability is minimized to close to zero.

Scenario	Effect
Import	Users will be able to punch in the transactions parallel, but they may see
	a slow down in operations since import involves large volume of writes.
	Users will be able to punch in the transactions parallel, but they may see
Synchronization	a slight slow down in operations since synchronization involves large
	volume of writes + reads
	Users will be able to punch in the transactions parallel. However the
Backup	instance when the back was initiated will be taken, all the other entries
	post initiation of backup will not be taken.
Restore/ Split/ Rewrite	Users will not be able to perform any action on the data

The Tally.Server 9 Data End points are physical data locations that need to be configured through Monitoring Tool and are exposed by the Tally.Server 9 to authorized Tally.ERP 9 clients. Each Data End Point can be given a name to differentiate them for e.g.: HRDATA, FINANCE DATA etc. This can be repeated for as many data locations that user wants to configure.

 

You can create & use unlimited number of Data End Points using active Tally.Server 9 services.

During installation of Tally.Server 9, it will prompt you to enter Tally.ERP 9 Gold License Server Name/IP and Port number. But with the help of multi-deployment license configuration available in the tssvc.ini file, you can configure other Tally.ERP 9 licenses (Silver or Gold).

Tally.Server 9 will work effectively in any combinations whether it is heterogeneous environment (Machines with combinations of both 32-bit versions and 64-bit versions) or homogeneous environment (All machines are either in 32-bit versions or 64-bit versions) environment?

Tally.Server 9 is a 'Series A' Enterprise Class product aimed at providing better concurrent usage and control over the Local Area Network (LAN). While Remote Access Capability is an Internet dependent activity. Tally.Server 9 is not expected to improve the performance of Data Entry over the internet.

Yes, you can maintain Tally.Server 9 License Server, Tally.ERP 9 License Server and Monitor Tools in three different systems.

All the Data Names should be created only from the Tally.Server 9 machine. You can't create any data names from the client machines.

All the Data Names by default will be visible to all the clients. However, while creating multiple Data names (Data Location names) using monitor tool, you can hide the specific Data Name by using a @@ symbol before the path. If data names are hidden and during select company etc. they will not be listed. However if user knows the DATA LOCATION NAME by typing it, all the companies in that location will appear for selection.

 

You can also restrict your clients to access the respective companies by using Security control of that specific company.

Tally.Server 9 is an easy-to deploy product. Installation of Tally.Server 9 is one-step quick process.
