Simplified Installation Process
Tally.ERP 9 comes with a new enhanced installer, which allows the user to configure different settings from a single
screen, as per requirements.
New Tally.ERP 9 Installer
The new installer allows the user to install Tally.ERP 9 application as well as License Server, however you may choose
to install either of them one after the other.
Using the new Installer, the user can install Tally.ERP 9 and License Server separately on different Computers/folders
or same folder.
 While installing Tally.ERP 9, the user can specify the path for Application, Data, Configuration and Language
files to be stored.
 While Installing Tally.ERP 9 on the C lient machine in a multiuser environment, the user is required to provide the
Computer Name / IP Address and Port Number of the computer, where the License Server is installed &
running.
Uninstaller:
The Uninstaller wizard similar to the Installer, also provides flexibility to uninstall either Tally.ERP 9 application or
License Server separately or both together. If only License Server is uninstalled, then Tally.ERP 9 will switch to
Education mode on the Client Computer.
Tally Admin Tool

The TallyAdmin tool is a new component that has been introduced with Tally.ERP 9 which enables the user to perform
the following activities without starting Tally.ERP 9
 Initiate License Service operations.
 Display the active Tally.ERP 9 License Servers in a LA N.
 A dminister Site License for different products from T ally.ERP 9.
 C heck network connections between the computers designated as Client and Server.
 C onvert TCP and TSF files of T ally 9 to the format compatible with T ally.ERP 9.
The Tally Admin Tool is available in the Tally.ERP 9 application folder, on installation.
Introduction to TDL Server DLL Component
Tally.ERP 9 onwards, a new component TDLServer.DLL has been introduced, which gets copied to the folder in which
Tally.ERP 9 has been installed. All the default TDL files of Tally have been integrated in this component. On invoking
Tally.ERP 9, these TDL�s will be loaded. The user TDL�s will be subsequently loaded as usual from Tally.ini.
The componentization will result in a more robust application. The benefits of this componentization are as follows-
 In case of any updates/ changes in T DL, only T DLServer.dll file needs to be downloaded and not the entire T ally
application which enables faster downloads.
 T his will help in dynamic loading and unloading of T DL Files while T ally application is running
 Forthcoming T ally Developer will be directly using this component, thus eliminating the need for a separate
DefT DL.dat file.
Unified File Format for Tally.ERP 9
The Tally.ERP 9 application folder contains files other than the data files. These are referred to as secondary files.
From this release onwards the file format of all the secondary files have been standardized.
TCP Files
All the TDL files which were compiled for previous versions of Tally as .tcp have to be converted to a new format.
Mentioned below are the ways in which this can be done.
N o t e: T he T DL fi l es i n txt fo rmat d oes not require t his conversi on.
Conversion of Tally 7.2 tcp files to Tally.ERP 9 Format
Tally7.2 tcp files can be migrated to Tally.ERP 9 format using the Tally72Migration tool available in the Tally.ERP 9
folder. Migration process is the same as earlier.
Conversion of Tally 9 tcp files to Tally.ERP 9 Format
 Automatic Conversion Process: When T ally.ERP 9 is installed in the existing Tally 9 folder then all the files with
.tcp extension included in the �tally.ini� file are automatically converted to the T ally.ERP 9 compatible format. T he
original �.tcp� file is renamed as �<filename>.tcp.BAK�. T he name of the file which is converted to new format is
same as the original filename. T he original TCP file is retained as a backup file.
 Manual Conversion Process: T o manually convert the files in the new format use the Conversion tab of Tally
Admin Tool.
It is mandatory to specify the File Type. The file Type can be TSF or TCP.

o TSF: Converts tally configuration file from old format to new format e.g. tallysav.tsf to tallycfg.tsf
o TCP: Converts TCP file from old format to new format.
In the Source File box specify the name of file to be converted.
In Destination File box provide the name for the converted file.

Data Synchronization Changes
Using Direct � Client and Server Capability

Direct- Client and Server capability for Synchronization through a private network will be incorporated as a default
feature of Tally.ERP 9 Series A release 1.0 onwards.
Using Tally.NET Server
The process of Data Synchronization using TallyLink Server has been changed in Tally.ERP 9. Going forward
Synchronization will be available as a service through the Tally.NET Framework. The user will be able to use Tally.ERP
9 Silver (SU) at both the ends to Synchronize data.
To use this service the Tally Server Company has to be Connected to Tally.NET server at the time of Synchronization.
Not e:T a lly.NET S erver (T NS) wi ll b e used fo r S ynchro nization i nstead o f T RB S erver.
In Sync Configuration, under TallyLink Configuration, the options "Use Tally Link� & "Connect to Tally Link Server"
have been removed.
Size and Performance changes
Automatic caching based on system memory
Report generation involving large amount of data was always impeded by the problem of high memory usage. In
Tally.ERP 9, a new feature has been introduced to overcome this hurdle. The application now uses an automatic
caching based on the memory of the system it is running on. This results in the usage of lesser memory even with
higher data volumes.
Reports which were running out of memory or consuming a large amount of virtual memory on a 2GB system, will
now respond even on a 1GB system. This can be observed by generating a report, say a day book containing 50,000 to
100,000 vouchers on a 512MB machine using the last major release as well as this release.
Faster Data Entry
The data entry speed has been considerably increased in scenarios where there are a large number of �Tracking
numbers� and �list of pending orders�. In other words, the time taken to make a single entry has been reduced due
to the faster retrieval and display of tables for selection of tracking numbers and pending orders.
Application size reduction by three-fourth
A faster, powerful and a SMALLER Tally.ERP 9 application! The application has been redesigned to drastically reduce

TDL Enhancements for Tally.ERP 9
In Tally.ERP 9, major changes have been provided by the platform to enhance the TDL capabilities which helps the
programmer to develop and deploy quick and efficient solutions with ease. Major improvements have taken place in
terms of language usage standardisation and performance improvements.
Breakthrough enhancements at the Collection level to provide capabilities of Remoting and Advanced Reporting.
Collection is now a complete Data Processing Artefact in TDL.
Let us now have an overview of the major enhancements that have taken place in the areas mentioned below. A
detailed documentation for each of these enhancements is available in our document �TDL Enhancements for
Tally.ERP 9�. This document along with corresponding Sample TDL�s can be downloaded from our website.
For detailed documentation refer to TDL Enhancements for Tally.ERP 9 on Tally Website.
Attributes and Modifier Enhancements
Based on user requirements and analysis many new attributes have been introduced. These have impacted the
programmer in a way that has reduced their deployment time to cater to functional requirements. Some of the new
usage have improved the performance drastically.
The behaviour and syntax of many attributes and modifiers have been changed to maintain consistency and ease of
code. The sequence of evaluation of attributes and modifiers have been standardised.
Mentioned below is the complete set of new Attributes and Modifiers
 Report A ttribute � Full Screen
 Key attributes � Scope
 P art attribute � Retain Focus
 Field attributes - T ool T ip, Set By C ondition
 C ollection Attribute � Subtitle
 New M odifier- Switch
Mentioned below is the list of existing attributes and modifiers for which the behaviour has been changed
 A ttribute Set A s and Info � When both are specified, Info takes P recedence
 Enhanced syntax of Local - Now can be nested
 Format A ttribute

 A ttribute Sync
 T he sequence of evaluation of A ttributes and M odifiers
 M odifier-Use
 Standardization of M odifiers Add/Delete/Replace across definitions
Enhanced Special Symbols
New special symbols have been introduced to take care of Multiline commenting (/* */), reinitializing definitions
(*). The existing system formulas can now be modified for optimized performance using the extended behaviour of
�#�
New Method Formula Syntax with Relative Object Specification
The $ operator has been enhanced with a new capabilities. This allows direct access to any object method including
its sub-collections to any level with a dotted notation framework. Using the new capability, there is no need to repeat
a line over a sub-collection to access it. The values from any object anywhere can be accessed without making the
object as the current object in context.
Enhancements-Object Association & Object Access via Interface Object
In TDL, Interface Object exists in context of any data object. Every Interface object needs to be associated with some
data object. In the absence of any explicit object association, Interface object will get associated with Anonymous
object. TDL programmer can explicitly associate Interface objects like Report, Part, Line and Field with data object.
There have been changes either in the form of syntax improvements or with the introduction of new attributes like
�Object Ex� at the part level.
From this release onwards, data objects in associated with Interf ace objects can be accessed using the new Interface
object access syntax. Now it is possible to identify an Interface object using Access Name and then use the enhanced
method formula syntax to access the Data Object associated with it.
Data object which is associated to Interface Object can be accessed with the following 2 step procedure.
 Identifying Part and Line Interface object with �A ccess Name�
 V alue/Collection Extraction
Bracket Support in Language Syntax
Prior to this release, the usage of TDL language token bracket (�(� and �)�) was restricted as mathematical
operator only. From this release onwards brackets can be used in the following scenarios.
 During the function call to enclose the function parameter.
 In the language syntax for nesting formulas.
 A s a M athematical O perator
Action Enhancements
Key action is enhanced to perform various operations on multiple lines. Multiline selection capability is possible with
the help of two attributes Scope (Key definition) and Selectable (Part and Line definition).
Some New and Changed Actions are mentioned below

New Actions
 M odify O bject
 Set O bject Values
 Browse U RL
 HT TP P ost
Enhanced Actions
 P rint
 M ail
 Export
 U pload
User Defined Functions in TDL
This is one of the breakthrough changes which has taken place at the platform level. We all know that TDL is a
definition language which provides capability for rapid development. But now TDL is procedural as well. With the
introduction of Functions/Procedures as a part of Tally.ERP 9 family the TDL capabilities have reached a new
dimension.
This will help the application programmers to develop their own functions for achieving business functionality. Their
will be a decrease in platform dependency for particular business function. The resultant would be faster development
cycles for business modules.
For detailed documentation, refer to User Defined Functions for Tally.ERP 9 on Tally Website.
Collection Enhancements
Collection, the data processing artefact of TDL provides extensive capabilities to gather data not only from Tally
database but also from external sources using ODBC, DLLs, and HTTP and so on. A set of new capabilities have been
added to Collection which provides far more flexibility and power in the hands of the TDL programmer. This will allow
writing significantly complex reports with ease and still delivering enhanced performance with high volume of data.
The following are the capabilities which have been achieved using new collection enhancements.
Aggregation & Summarization
A major technological advancement in this release of Tally.ERP 9 is �Data Roll up in TDL Collection � GROUP BY�.
This will now facilitate the creation of large summary tables of aggregations in a single shot using the new attributes
of the Collection description. This allows us to Walk down the object hierarchies and gathers values and summarizes
them in one scan. Overall it reduces the TDL code complexity, resource requirement and increases performance
drastically in case of reports generated using this new capability.
Collection re-use, extraction and chaining
A collection can extract information from other collections including its sub-objects with the choice of method(s),
filter(s) and sort-order. Source Collection within a collection, collection(s) can be chained. In other words, Summary
Collection can be used as Source Collection for some other Collection and so on.
Indexed or Searchable Collection on TDL defined keys
The capabilities discussed above extend the data gathering capabilities of TDL. However business reporting in general
and in Tally uses hierarchical presentation or columnar presentation rather than simple table representation. If

Report is having two or more dimensions like Ledger and Cost Centre and so on, a simple repeat on the summarized
collection will not suffice. In order to improve performance indexing capability has been introduced which will work
with a key combination.
Usage as Tables
TDL allows to display the values obtained from the collection as a pop-up table. Earlier the values of voucher and the
ODBC data can�t be displayed as a collection. Now all limitations pertaining to usage of Collections as Tables have
been completely eliminated. Any collection which can be created in TDL can be displayed as a table now. Collection
with aggregation and XML Collections can also be used as Tables.
Integration Capabilities using HTTP XML Collection
Collection capability has been enhanced to gather live data from HTTP/web-service delivering XML. The entire XML is
automatically now converted to TDL objects and is available natively in TDL reports as $ based methods. Reports can
be shown live from an HTTP server. The attributes in collection for gathering XML based data from a remote server
over HTTP are RemoteURL, RemoteRequest, XMLObjectPath, and XMLObject.
Dynamic Object support for HTTP-XML Information Interchange
When a collection is used for editing (alter/create), objects are dynamically added to the collection when a new line is
repeated over the same. The type of object which is added depends on the specification in the TYPE att ribute. In case
the TYPE attribute is not specified it defaults to adding a standard empty object.
However the following holds true for a COLLECTION keeping in mind the latest enhancements
 It can be made up of multiple types of objects (say Ledgers and Groups)
 It can have T DL defined objects which are retrieved from XM L file. T hey are specified using XM L O bject.
 It can have aggregated objects
Depending solely on the TYPE attribute for deciding the object type is a constraint with respect to the above facts.
This is now being removed with the introduction of a new attribute which will independently govern the type of object
to be added to the collection on-the-fly. A new attribute NEW OBJECT is now supported for collection
Collection Capabilities for Remoting
Enabling access to your organizational data in an �any-time, any-where� and yet being truly usable is what Tally.ERP
9 delivers. With Tally.NET enabled remote access, it will be possible for any authorized user to access Tally.ERP 9 from
anywhere.
Major Enhancements have taken place at the collection level to achieve remoting capabilities. The attributes Fetch,
Compute and AggrCompute provided at the collection level and FetchObject and FetchCollection at the report level
significantly help in above functionality.
For detailed documentation, refer to Writing Remote Compliant TDL for Tally.ERP 9 on Tally Website.
