1. The setup is started by executing the file WRAP Setup (32-bit).exe. OK ____
Click the Readme button to finish the installation process and view the
Readme file with the news or click the Close button to finish the
installation process directly.
Now the installation is complete.
Update of WRAP
The next step of updating depends on whether the database used is in Microsoft Access
format or in Microsoft SQL Server format. Databases using the SQL server database engine
should be updated manually.
Databases in MS Access can be updated automatically to LocalDB format using ChangeDB
but the MS Access format can still be used.
When starting WRAP after the update please note the memory usage dialogue.
9. If a SQL Server database has been used previously, text strings might
be specified to be using varchar. For some languages, this is insufficient
and nvarchar must be used. Use the script
UpdateWRAPDBColsFromVarcharToNVarchar.sql to update the text
fields within the database to nvarchar. This may apply to databases
created before 24 January 2017.
Press Yes to convert the database and use it in WRAP. Press No if you still
want to use the MS Access database.
14. Enter needed data in the UAC (User Account Control) dialogue and
proceed. The conversion will now start:

Page 9 (24)
15. The conversion will take a while and a command window is displayed in
the background. Please be patient, this might take a few minutes.
18. Some databases will not be converted, a message like the below will then
be shown:

19. At last the dialogue will show up with the converted database attached:
20. In order to connect the WRAP demo database, click the button “Add Demo
database” The button “Convert Access DB…” can be used for converting
WRAP databases in MS Access format to LocalDB format
23. You should now be able to launch the WRAP application using the WRAP
shortcut.
Note: The default user names that can be selected when starting WRAP are:
Guest (no password)
Testuser (no password)
WRAP User (password “wrap”)

24. The following dialogue is shown in the start-up sequence until a licensed
version of WRAP has been unlocked. In a demonstration version it is
always shown.
25. A dialogue for the memory usage is shown. Please read carefully and select
a proper value using the slide bar.
The setting can later be changed under menu Settings – Memory usage
limit.

Databases
From WRAP v4.19 the standard database engine used in WRAP is SQL Server. The
connected MS Access databases will be migrated to LocalDB as described at page 6.
LocalDB is a minimal version of the MS SQL Server database engine and can be use in stand-
alone installations of WRAP. In a multi-user environment SQL Server shall be used.
Scripts to create databases in SQL Server and Oracle are provided. The scripts are located in
in the folder ClientServerWRAPDB\SQL Server of the installation medium.
Refer also to Read Me WRAP SQL Server database.txt on the installation medium.

1. On the license server: License the server by starting WRAP and send the
site code to [email protected]. Refer to the licensing procedure in section “First
time start of WRAP”. Close WRAP on the server.
3. Select license type ”Server”, enable TCPIP and enter the IP-address of the
server. The default port is 4758. (Note that the IP address in the figure
below is just an example.). Press OK.
Function:
When starting the software WRAP checks with the license server if a valid license is
available. If there is a license available, it is kept by the client WRAP instance until WRAP is
shut-down. At that time the license is returned to the license server. Note that the client must
have contact with the license server when WRAP is running since the license is checked now
and then when WRAP is running.
There is no inactivity time limit within the software that releases the license automatically, so
if several users are using a single license it is important to shut-down WRAP when done to let
other users access the license. If a networked license is used and WRAP crashes or loses
contact with the license server, the license will be released after approximately 20 minutes.
Problems:
If the EasyLicenseNetworkConfig is not started please try to start with parameter -F in a
command window.
Note that any firewall in the system must allow traffic on the port specified.

A: The way coordinates are stored in the databases is changed since version 4.16.1.0.
If you have not updated there might be a need to define which geographical datum
format any object with coordinates (i e station and sites) is saved with.
Setup guide for WRAP v4.19- WRAP 3350
Page 19 (24)
Check all objects with the same datum and click “Apply to checked”. Repeat until all
objects are handled and the list is empty.
Note! WRAP tries to find out which datum which is the correct one. This is often
correct but not always so please check before applying the suggestion. Note also that
if there are several users defined in the database, all users must follow this procedure.
A: Probably an older version of WRAP has been installed on the computer before.
Start the ChangeDB program from the start menu. On the first tab connect the WRAP
databases you want to use. If you are a new user of WRAP you should use the
database MyWRAPdB as writeable. You should also connect wrapwindb_demo in
order to been able to run the samples in the manual.
If it is not present at all please open a Windows Explorer window. Change directory to
c:\program files\wrap\bin. Then run the file setupex.exe (Run as Administrator) and
try to start WRAP again. (You will hardly notice that setupex.exe is executed.)
If the message appears again please open a command window (Run as Administrator).
Change directory c:\Program Data\WRAP (the folder is normally hidden.) and then
enter setupex /u to uninstall the CrypKey service. After this the computer has to be
restarted.
Setup guide for WRAP v4.19- WRAP 3350
Page 20 (24)
After restart open a command window (Run as Administrator) again. Change directory
to c:\Program Files\wrap\bin.Then enter setupex. Now WRAP can be started again.
10. Q: How can I make WRAP always start with the same project?
A: One option is to double click on the project file to open. The recommended way is
to set the start project using the <Settings>-<Set Startup Project>
function in the WRAP Project window.
11. Q: When updating from previous version, my edited geo settings from my old
installation show up after upgrading?
A: The WrapGeo.wgc should be copied to correct location. Copy the old wrapgeo.wgc
file into c:\Program Data\WRAP. In the older versions of WRAP the wrapgeo.wgc
was normally located in c:\program files\wrap.

12. Q: I have installed SFAF and SMADEF plug-ins but I cannot see any different
functionality? The same applies to the CoordMan plug-in.
A: In order to use the plug-ins, please turn off WRAP and start ChangeDB. In the last
tab the plug-ins to use must be checked. Note! When using a database with the
SMADEF plug-in the first time, your organisation is set to the database and cannot
easily be changed. Please refer to the documentation.
13. Q: I have installed plug-ins but am not able to see any of them within ChangeDB.
A: The version of the plug-ins and WRAP differ.
Geographical data
14. Q: What geodata is included in the installation?
A: The installation installs the following geodata:
Folder Data
The geo class SwedenDemo defines the demo geodata of Sweden and IDWM. There
is also one geo class with IDWM only.
15. Q: How is geodata entered into WRAP?
A: Geographical data is defined in WRAP using the menu <Settings>-
<Geographical>. There can be several so called geographical classes where each
class defines a particular set of geodata. Geodata normally comprises vector, raster
and image data. For each type of data, the path to the data shall be defined together
with the properties of the data. For more details refer to the WRAP Help function.
16. Q: Why is no geographical data shown in the Map Viewer window?
A: The problem is usually that WRAP cannot find the geographical files at the
specified search path. Check that the search paths are correct, see above. The function
“Update GeoDB paths” is very useful if the complete GeoDB directory has been
moved. Just click the button with this name and browse to the GeoDB folder to
update.
Databases
17. Q: Where are the databases installed?
A: In the common application data folder a WRAP folder is added. It is typically at
c:\Program Data\WRAP. The folder is normally hidden. The databases are installed in
a subfolder \Databases. During installation four databases are stored here. The
databases can be stored anywhere and using ChangeDB WRAP can be connected to
any WRAP database.

Miscellaneous
19. Q: How are the different available radar types defined?
A: The radar types are defined in table TOMRadarType. Column Name is the radar
type. The other columns, (Range1WP, Range2WP, Range1Mast, Range2Mast,
CalcMethod1 and CalcMethod2 are only use in Obstruction Manager. Please refer to
User’s Manual for more information.
20. Q: How are the available options of Status and Usage of frequencies defined?
A: The available options of Status and Usage are defined in TFrequencyStatus and
TFrequencyUsage, respectively. Changes shall be made directly in the database.
21. Q: How are the available Levels of hierarchy defined?
A: The Levels are defined in THieararchyLevel. Column Name defines the names and
can only be edited in the database. The same applies for HierarchyLevel. (The lower
level the higher up in the hierarchy structure. HierarchyLevel = 0 is reserved for
None.) The minimum frequency separations are edited using the Divide Allotment
function in WRAP.
22. Q: I want to take a backup copy of the file wrapgeo.wgc. Where do I find it?
A: The file wrapgeo.wgc is located in the user application data folder. It is typically at
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\WRAP where user is your log in name on the computer.
The folder is normally hidden. To show the folder start <Windows Explorer>-
<Tools>-<Folder Options…> Got to the tab View and tick Show hidden files
and folders.
