TimeTrex Time and Attendance

Thank you Shawn. When I saw the behavior, I was pretty certain this was the case. Have a good one!

1. Clearly state what is happening, or what isn't happening that you feel should. If there are any error messages include the FULL EXACT error message. We're testing TT in a non-production environment. A small group of employees have been back-filling timesheets so they get the "feel" of ...

Thank you, Shaun. I happen to be more fluent in MySQL so that's why I chose it. We don't plan on using for more than time tracking (not payroll) right now, and since I have a nightly backup scheduled (and could backup more frequently if need be), and lots of disk space (for now), I think I'll stay w...

In my trolling for answers & info, I've come across a couple of posts which have said that PostgreSQL is the better DBMS to use with TT instead of MySQL, for reasons of stability & reliability. Fact, fiction or somewhere in between? And, if PostgreSQL is better to use, how (and if) would the...

OK, that makes sense when viewed in that light ... I guess my bulb was burnt out.

Also, the upgrade to 2.2.16 is in place and working.

Shaun - you are correct in your understanding. This is not uncommon, from my very unscientific survey, with the range of carryover from not being allowed to carry over ANY vacation to being allowed to carry over two weeks (which is the most I've seen in the non-government sector). That's OK. With th...

Maybe I'm just being dense, but here goes: The company I work for allows you to earn 3 weeks of vacation per year but only carry over 1 week of it to the next. I'm unsure if this can be set up in the Accrual Policy in TT. Currently, the settings I have on the "Edit Accrual Policy" page are...

This is probably one of those "not really stupid but I'm going to ask it anyway" :oops: questions: So if a holiday has passed (like US Labor Day) but you're still within the pay period (like we are), the holiday policy won't automatically insert the absence for it into an employee timeshee...

Not being a whiz bang programmer myself (more of a hack & slash), it could also be done as an overall preference. Thanks for looking into it for me!

And in fact, I went into the tables themselves and saw this with *my own two eyes*! Now if I am asked I can say ... here! See! It's just been that kind of day ...

Thanks Shawn, I completely understand! Yes, I realize how miniscule that 0.001 of an hour is ... but you understand accounting types! Here's one more eye roll for the road...

I'm working on setting up accruals, and those policies are OK. What I'm doing is assigning people their initial balances, like 14.866 hours of vacation. If I enter 14.866 and click "Submit" it comes back with 14.87 (which makes sense from a rounding perspective).

A question regarding degree of precision: I've noticed that the decimals only go out 2 places (tenths and hundredths). Is there any way to go one more step to the thousandth or is that "by design" (i.e. it's the way it's programmed or stored in the database)? Personally I don't have an iss...

This thread has been very helpful! I'm in the middle of importing about 30 users into TT and the dry run has executed properly... with a little tweak. I only have one company and one default_branch_id (both with values of 1) and are represented as such in the file_to_be_imported.csv. However, when I...

Manual install worked fine. Some tips I might give to others who are struggling with this under a linux distro: Pre-installation Print out the README file. Please. If you have to unzip the .zip file, your best bet is to install the zip/unzip package for your distro. For example, in Debian/Ubuntu, it...

Thanks Shaun - I'll give it a try and see what happens. Normally I wouldn't bother with this PPC but it's the most powerful system we have and to say I'm on a shoestring budget would be overstating the case!

1. Clearly state what is happening, or what isn't happening that you feel should. If there are any error messages include the FULL EXACT error message. Here's a strange one for you: I've just transferred the .bin file to the computer I want to run TT on. This install of ubuntu doesn't have any gui, ...

I've got an older box that is already maxed out on RAM (512MB). However, with some other tuning (restricting apache processes to 5, removing unneeded modules, etc) and mysql optimization, we're cooking along nicely now... although it is unnerving to see your web app merrily on its way as you observe...

I'm looking to conserve as much memory as I can on my poor little Ubuntu server. In PHP.INI I have set the maximum size of scripts at 32M (default is 8M). What does TimeTrex need that setting to be to work?

Anyone out there played with this setting?

Michelle

Sprije - I'm in a similar boat, as the PC I'm running TT on is maxed out in RAM and between apache, mysql and the cron job I'm doing a virtual juggling act. Other things you can try (YMMV): Adjust your web server settings. For example, I use apache and have limited the child processes to 5. Links: h...

Thanks, Shawn for the clarification. I thought in the back of my head it might be something like that. Hm. Let me go and play some more and see what I can do.

Causing trouble around the globe,
Michelle

Shawn,

I checked those employees - their hire date is March 23, 2007 entered as 03/23/2007.

thanks,
Michelle

Hello again, (OT: Seems there are performance issues with the Ubuntu box that I'm troubleshooting now. Got "top" running and am keeping an eye on it.) On topic: There are two users who do not seem to be accruing vacation time. Other users are accruing it, and accruing the time correctly on...
