INSTALLATION PROBLEMS
During installation, one faces problems,specially during Sp4update and Sp5update.The installation stops after going about 90% complete.

An alarm appears like "% s decompression failed.There is not enough space in TEMP directory"
----------------------------------------------
solution
go to
RUN
type
%TEMP%
then
enter,
you see the hidden Ts files in TEMP, delete all of them ,after careful check,so as not to delete any system files.
now restart pc, install your update pack SP4, it goes zoom.
----------------------------------------------------
Unless the sp4 and sp5 packs are installed, global version is not updated to version 822.
Unless Global server is of 822 version,you canot import real time data for trading from ESIGNAL .

ESIGNAL vesrion 8 is only compatible with tradestation 2000i, so dont install Esignal version 10. and you need an Esignal plugin utility which you can get online or get from esignal people.

Global server
While installing setup, just select server named DBC SUBSERVER, otherwise you cant import data from ESIGNAL data manager.

A tip to have good operation
After use, daily before swiching youtr pc, just go to global server tools, go and click on RUN NIGHTLY MAINTENANCE, it saves lots of problems.
