FingerTec has compiled a list of error messages occasionally found in the TCMS V2 and TCMS V2 Viewer software. We have documented all the solutions to the problems for convenience. Resellers are encouraged to take notice of these problems as understanding the problems and their solutions could reduce support lead time which could then translate to more satisfied customers.

Scenario 1:
TCMS V2 - Terminal Data Audit List export output file is invalid appear in the USB save to PC option.


Solution:
At the TCMSv2 Software, click on the Devices icon and select Terminal Data Audit List. Click the Export button and select the user ID and the date range. Change the output target file path to your computer. Click the Export button.


After the export process, go to the USB flash disk management and click the Read data from USB disk into PC. Click Next and Save to PC to download data from the USB drive.


Scenario 2:
TCMS V2 – The Attendance Sheet is responding slowly due to the heavy data loading.

Solution:

In the TCMS V2 software, click Attendance Sheet and To History, to transfer all the users’ transaction data from the Attendance Sheet to the History folder. You can keep the transaction data for the present year for reference purposes.

Scenario 3:
TCMS V2 - Please close all the screens error message.


Solution:
There are few ways to troubleshoot the error message depending on the menu’s option:-

1.Quit the TCMS V2 software. At the TCMS V2 folder, locate and delete the Autozone.dbf and Foxuser.dbf file. Start up the TCMS V2 software and check if the problem is solved. If the problem persists, please proceed to the next solution until the problem is solved.

2.Quit the TCMS V2 software. At the TCMS V2 folder, locate and delete the sect_tbl.dbf file. Start up the TCMS V2 software and check if the problem is solved.

3.Quit the TCMS V2 software. At the TCMS V2 folder, locate and delete the any unknown files in the TCMS V2 folder.

Scenario 4:
TCMS V2 Viewer – badge.dbf error message.

We are using a Windows Vista/Seven platform computer. While accessing the TCMSv2 viewer from the web browser, we received an error message as shown below:
Solution:

Make sure that the Everyone group is given the full control permission, otherwise please add the group and tick the checkbox for Replace all child object permission with inheritable permissions from this object and click Apply for the changes to take effect.



6.Refresh the TCMS V2 Viewer again.


Scenario 5:
TCMS V2 Viewer - Failed to access IIS metabase ASP.NET



Solution:
If you are getting the Failed to access IIS metabase error while browsing TCMSv2 Viewer ASP.NET site or ASPX page in IIS server, you might have installed the IIS Server after installing the .NET framework.

If that is the case, repair your ASP.NET installation and set up all of the appropriate ISAPI extension mappings. Follow the step below to rectify the problem.

1. Start up the Command Prompt and type the following command: aspnet_regiis -ga \username Note: the username is usually "aspnet"

2. If the above solution did not work, please type in the following command: aspnet_regiis -i
Alternatively you can copy and paste this command into the Command Prompt and press Enter: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe –i
If the above solution did not work, please uninstall the TCMS V2 Viewer application and install the software again.


Scenario 6:
TCMSv2 / Terminal – To unlock the terminal’s menu function using the TCMS V2 Software.

Solution:
You can change the Enroller / Admin / Supervisor privilege into User by using the TCMS V2 software and then upload the changes to the terminal.

At the TCMS V2 software, click Devices, and User Management. At the Privilege column, change all the Enroller / Admin / Supervisor into User. Click Save User. After that, click Update User to send the new settings to the terminal.


In case that the terminal is not connected to the TCMS V2 software, please contact your local reseller. They will assist you to reset the administrator privilege at the terminal because only the reseller has the authority to reset the administrator privilege at the terminal.


Scenario 7:
TCMS V2 - Download transaction data from the terminal to the computer without starting up the TCMS V2 software.

Solution:
You can assign the TCMS V2 software to download transaction data from the terminal without starting up the software. The new feature is available in the newest TCMS V2.2.22 version.

Click Device and select Set Clocking Download Interval. Set the timer by second or minutes. Tick the checkbox for Perform daily download when computer is powered on.

      Good day to you

      Please close the TCMSv2 Software > set the default printer as Microsoft XPS Document Writer > Restart PC > open the TCMSv2 Software > try to preview the Employee Time Card.

      You can change the default printer at Start > Devices and Printer > Right Click at the Microsoft XPS Document Writer > Set as Default Printer > Restart PC.

      If you can preview the Employee Time Card report, you need to re-install your printer driver.

      If the problem still appear, please close the TCMSv2 software and delete all .cdx file from the TCMSv2 folder.

      Then open the TCMSv2 software and check whether still getting the error message or not.

      If the error message still appear, kindly re-install the TCMSv2 software with the latest setup file.

      To re-install:
      1- Turn off the PC anti virus and firewall.
      2- Un-install the TCMSv2 software without removing the existing TCMSv2 folder.
      3- Download latest TCMSv2 setup at http://cache.fingertec.com/download/FingerTecTCMSv2Setup.zip

      Good day to you

      Look at the back of device and you will find a tamper switch (a black color button). This the security button. In case device is dismantle illegally, this button release and device will trigger alarm output.

      Please remove the device from wall and install it again. Make sure the button is compress properly to the back plate.

      If there is any gap between the back plate and tamper switch, the "System broken" message will be triggered. After adjust the device position, please restart the terminal.

    1. Dear Junf,

      Good day to you.

      Actually Face ID4 will store all the attendance data in the device until it downloaded into Attendance Software.

      If you did not found user clocking data missing in Attendance sheet, please double check in Terminal data audit list, because terminal data audit list store all the raw data from devices.

      And if all the attendance data have in the Terminal data audit list but not shown in the Attendance sheet, please double check your schedule setting and group duty roster settings.

      You can follow above steps, and if still facing same problem kindly email to support@fingertec.com.

  10. I'm trying to create a "Linked Server" connection to the data in SQL server 2012 so I can query the data. I've downloaded the Visual Fox Pro drivers but they are not compatible with a 64 bit OS. Is there another method I can use to connect the data to my SQL server in a 64 bit environment?

    1. Hi Ben Martin,

      For your information, currently the Visual FoxPro database only can support 32-bit version of Windows operating system and not compatible with 64-bit applications.

      In the mean time, if you want to export the clocking data from the TCMSv2 software (Fox Pro database) to SQL database. You need to export the clocking data from the attendance sheet into Microsoft Access Database. After that, you need to import the data manually from the Microsoft Access Database to your SQL database.

      You can refer at http://www.fingertectips.com/2013/02/export-data-from-attendance-sheet-to.html for more detail about exporting the clocking data from the TCMSv2 software to Microsoft Access Database. Thanks.

      To be able to read the data downloaded from the terminal via USB, you can save the file into D drive or other drives. Proceed to the software > Devices > USB Flash Disk Management > Read clocking data from usb disk > Select the drive that you save the file to > Click From USB

      You will be able to get the data from the drive that you save the file into.

    1. Hi Maya Mohd,

      For your kind information, basically all the backup database file are stored inside the previous system at FingerTec Worldwide folder > TCMSv2 > Backup. If you already formatted your PC and installing new TCMSv2 system without save this file folder, then you will lost all the previous data.
      Regarding to the user data inside the terminal issue, basically you can retrieve back the User ID and Fingerprint template only. Any transaction log that you already downloaded into TCMSv2 software, it will not stored inside the terminal. If there is any other information required, you can directly email to us at support@fingertec.com. Best Regards.

    1. Dear customer,

      Good day to you. Firstly, check in your PC that you do not have any other software, or older version of TCMS installed in your PC.

      If the problem persists, please re-install the TCMSv2 software to solve the error issue. Make sure you close the anti-virus before re-install the TCMSv2 software.

      1) Backup the TCMSv2 software database.
      2) Uninstall the TCMSv2 software from control panel.
      3) Rename the TCMSv2 folder to TCMSv2olddata .
      4) Restart PC.
      5) Install the TCMSv2 software using latest setup - http://www.fingertec.com/download/FingerTecTCMSv2Setup.zip
      (Make sure you right click and run as administrator before install the TCMSv2 software)
      6) Restore the TCMSv2 software database.

      Don't forget to rename the TCMSv2 folder. The system file in the existing TCMSv2 folder might be corrupted, after you install the latest version, the software will create new TCMSv2 folder with new system file.

      If you can't access the TCMSv2 software, refer below step to backup your database manually
      1) Copy all file .DBF and FPTMP.FPT from the TCMSv2 folder
      2) Paste into the new folder and rename the folder = database
      3) Right click at the database folder and send to zip

      Please re-download all the clocking data from your device into the Software.

      After successfully downloaded all the transaction data > Click devices > Terminal Data Audit list > Check all the transaction data shown in the Terminal Data Audit list or not > Then, Open Attendance sheet > Generate for all users.

      If all the data already shown in the Terminal Data Audit list, but after generating attendance sheet still not shown on the Attendance Sheet, you need to double check your schedule configuration, Or you can send your backup database to support@fingertec.com

    1. Hi Ganesh,

      Good day to you.

      When the alarm is triggered, Please check in Ingress's Monitoring tab, as it will show the event (reason) why the device alarm is triggered.

      For example, Door opened without any verification (force open), the system will detect the door being opened without correct verification (If the door is installed with a door sensor). In the Monitoring tab, it will show the door event (force open) and the alarm will be triggered.

      To stop the alarm, in Ingress Software > open monitoring page > click stop alert sound

      If you still facing problem with Ingress Software, you can directly email to us at support@fingertec.com

      Regarding to your issue, please close the TCMSv2 software and delete all .cdx file from the TCMSv2 folder.

      Then open the TCMSv2 software and check whether still getting the error message or not.

      If the error message still appear, kindly re-install the TCMSv2 software with the latest setup file.

      To re-install:
      1- Turn off the PC anti virus and firewall.
      2- Un-install the TCMSv2 software without removing the existing TCMSv2 folder.
      3- Download latest TCMSv2 setup at http://cache.fingertec.com/download/FingerTecTCMSv2Setup.zip
      4- Install the latest setup file at existing TCMSv2 folder.
      5- Then right click at the TCMSv2 icon, select run as administrator to open the TCMSv2 software.
      6- After that check whether still getting the error message or not

      If above step did not solve your issue, please provide the team viewer ID and password so that I can check with the error message.

      If have Connection error message, Please check the connection of your computer and terminal. You can restart the devices and check either the LAN cable is connected properly or not.

      Regarding on your issue, all the clocking data will still remain in the device until you downloaded into the TCMSv2 Software, However it will automatic deleted after successfully downloaded into the TCMSv2 Software, however it will save a backup in the ETCOM folder.

      So please find the ETCOM folder and send you ETCOM folder and TCMSv2 backup database to us for checking purpose. (our email address : support@fingertec.com)

      At the same time, please make sure there is no others PC is installed with TCMSv2 Software, because it can cause the data separated into 2 different PC.

    1. Hello Sir,

      Referring to your issue, it is caused by corrupted or missing printer driver in your PC. For your information, TCMS will require a printer driver, in order for it to generate the report layouts. To resolve your issue, please follow these steps:

      1) Close TCMS v2 software
      2) Go to TCMSV2 folder ( Local Disk C > Program Files (x86) > TCMSv2 )
      3) Sort all files by "Type"
      4) Delete all files with .CDX filetype.
      5) Go to PC's Control Panel > Device and Printers.
      6) Assign "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" as the default printer.
      7) Run TCMS and check again if the error persists.
      8) If the issue is solved, please re-install your printer driver in the PC.

    1. Hello Sir,

      Good day to you.

      With regards to your query, please note that after download transaction data into software, you need to check in Terminal Data Audit List whether data is exist or not.

      If data is exist in Terminal Data Audit List, please proceed to generate attendance sheet.

      However, if data not exist in the Terminal Data Audit List, that means the transaction record for that day is not captured by device or user not verify the attendance in the terminal.

    1. Hello Sir,

      With regards to your query, for your kind information, by deleting the CDX files will not cause any data loss because it just index files, that will be generated again once you open the software. To confirm that, you can check your data inside your data audit list, check whether your data for a specific date was there or not. If yes, just generate your attendance sheet to get back the attendance record.

      This is because you restore backup database from different PC, so the previous export path location already different.
