Last Update: 02 October 2007
(Windows 95/NT/98/2000/XP and Mac)
This package is a subset of the full TimeMap download above. It contains TMJava client and server, sample MapSpace and datasets, as well as an XML clearinghouse and an example of a standalone TMJava application in a web page.

In downloading these packages you agree to the TimeMap General Use licence or, on joining the TimeMap Open Source Consortium, agree to the Open Source Consortium licence.

Contents

The TimeMap install package consists of the following components:

TMWin 2.2.1.21

• Assemble interactive maps from data on your hard disk or network and from datasets registered in the ECAI Clearinghouse
• Create metadata and register datasets in the ECAI Clearinghouse
• Assemble interactive maps for local or web use and register them in the ECAI Clearinghouse
• Turn X/Y or latitude/longitude data into Shapefiles
• Upload vector GIS data to an SQL server
• Download GIS data from the ECAI Clearinghouse to your hard disk or network.
• Usually installed to C:\Program Files\TimeMap
  

TMJava Client 2.2.60

• View maps created by TMWin, either standalone (i.e. on a hard disk, network drive or on a CD-ROM) or in conjunction with the TMJava Server
• Run TimeMap from a web site with data in Shapefiles, CSV, DBF, MIF, JPG and Zoomify files
• Usually installed to C:\Program Files\TimeMap\ResourcesTemplate\TMJava

TMJava Server 2.2.60

• Run TimeMap from a web site with data in SQL databases, MrSID server, OGC server etc
• Run TimeMap from a web site with very large datasets
• Access data from multiple sources accross the Internet
  

Important Notes:

• As with all programs, on NT, 2000 & XP you MUST install these programs with Administrator privileges. If you encounter problems, please email Ian Johnson for assistance.

• In some cases, if older versions of TimeMap are installed on the target machine, an "Error:1316" message might appear. This is a bug in Windows installer. In this case please uninstall previous versions of TimeMap using Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and then proceed with your new installation.

• We have received reports of users who, when attempting to install TimeMap in a Chinese-language environment, have received an error from the Windows Installer such as: "1152: Error extracting c:\docume~1\UserName\local~1\temp\_is4\Tiimemap.msi to the temporary location." If you encounter this error, change the language back to English for the install process (e.g. using the Language Barin Windows) and this should resolve the issue.

• TMWin comes with a help file (substantially out of date as at April 2004) that describes the basics of creating metadata, making datasets available over the web, and registering datasets in the ECAI Metadata Clearinghouse. A new step-by-step guide is available from the documentation page.
  

• You do NOT need to use your downloaded version of the TMJava Client to view interactive TimeMaps created from datasets registered in the ECAI clearinghouse. By referencing the client directly from the ECAI web site (see here for basic instructions) you will always be running the latest stable version.
  
  
• You need the TMJava client package to view maps generated by TMWin, and if you plan to run standalone applications from your web server or on CD-ROM. The client will access files on your web site or on CD-ROM directly without using the TMJava server.
  
  
• The TMJava server is relevant to you ONLY if you intend to build a complete standalone system which accesses data on SQL data servers, MrSID servers, OGC WMS servers etc. See Chapter 9 of the TMJava manual here for instructions on how to set up a TMJava server. Note also that as of version 2.2.25 you will need to install Java 1.5.x or later on your server.
  
  
• The TMWin package comes with a built-in uninstaller which will appear in the Start menu under "TimeMap". It uninstalls the program, removes it from the Start Menu and deletes all files within C:\Program Files\TimeMap. You may, however, want to do a more thorough purge which includes TimeMap registry settings and the set of sample data and mapspaces (which usually gets installed under "My Documents"). We have created a batch file script which undertakes this thorough clean; it is zipped and available for download here. Unzip the file to any directory on your local machine, edit WIPE_TMWIN.bat with a text editor so that it refers correctly to your user profile paths, and then run the batch file, clicking 'yes' to the prompt about making changes to the registry.

Application Updates [5Mb]
Last Update: 02 October 2007

This install package consists of latest three TimeMap application files, along with two additional java archives: fg3.jar for SWF generation; and jahuwaldt.jar used for contour generation:

1. TMWin.exe, the main TMWin executable file;
   Copy this to the main TimeMap installation directory, usually
   C:\Program Files\TimeMap\
   
2. TMJava.jar, the main, fully-featured TMJava applet archive designed for use in intranets, along with a more compact version TMJava_standard.jar (does not include flash-generation support) and an even lighter version TMJava_light.jar (does not include time bar, flash-generation and other features -- can be used for very basic web maps);
   Copy these to the the TMJava directory of your TimeMap installation, usually
   C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\TimeMap\Resources\TMJava
   
3. alovserv.jar, the main TMJava server archive.
   Copy this to the TMJava server directory of your TimeMap installation, usually
   C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\TimeMap\Resources\TMJava\WEB-INF\lib
4. fg3.jar and jahuwaldt.jar, additional tools for TMJava client-server.
   Copy this to the TMJava server directory of your TimeMap installation, usually
   C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\TimeMap\Resources\TMJava\WEB-INF\lib

Versions are the same as those listed above in the 'Full Download' section. This package is ONLY for those who have previously downloaded and installed the 'Full Download' package (above). Generally speaking, it is preferable to download and install the Full Download package rather than to attempt an application update.

Note that, if you are an Administrator deploying the application update on a network, in addition to the replacing the application files (as above) you will also need to copy TMJava.jar to C:\Program Files\TimeMap\ResourcesTemplate\TMJava and copy alovserv.jar to C:\Program Files\TimeMap\ResourcesTemplate\TMJava\WEB-INF\lib so that TMWin will create instances of the updated .jar files in the Local Settings directories of first-time users on your network.

Data preparation utilities: TMGeoReg, TMLocate [2.8Mb]
Last Update: 07 February 2006
(Windows 95/NT/98/2000/XP)

Includes TMGeoReg.exe (for georeferencing scanned resources, remotely sensed datasets, background maps, etc...) and TMLocate.exe (for creating TimeMap point datasets that link to photo databases).

Notes:

• You need to install TimeMap (or more specifically, TMWin) before using the two applications in this package. Once you've installed TimeMap, unzip this package to the main TimeMap installation directory, usually
  C:\Program Files\TimeMap\
• These utilities generally require an installation of MapObjects Run Time 2.1 in order to load and display GIS datasets; however, users who have ESRI products such as ArcGIS installed on their machines will not need MapObjects (and should under no circumstances install it, as it may compromise ArcGIS).
  
• In order to access and update SQL databases using these applications, you will need the Borland Database Engine (BDE) installed on your machine. Some common GIS software packages come bundled with the BDE, so you may already have it on your PC; if you don't, then you can download the latest version from Borland's download site
  
• We do not put much effort into maintaining these utilities other than the minimum we require for our own internal use, so please don't expect too much from them.

Please note that, while TMWin and TMJava provide a degree of security through authorisation passwords which can be attached to individual datasets, these passwords are not encrypted and the security offered is not robust. These passwords are designed primarily to hide the data, not to protect them from determined hacking. If you wish to store confidential data we recommend that you talk to us about encryption of communication between client and server.

The TMJava client reports usage statistics to the TimeMap web site to help us analyse and research usage patterns and optimise the software. We hope eventually to be able to report on this analysis and publish summary statistics for distribution of length of use, volume of interaction and so forth, broken down between domains to determine, for example, whether .edu users spend longer or interact more with the applet than .com users, and whether there is a pattern in web map popularity. The reporting function will create an insignificant amount of extra network traffic and occurs only when the client-server version is in use.
