Archive Trane Trace File

HOW TO ARCHIVE A TRANE TRACE FILE
Trace 700: used to create whole building load calculations

1. Close Trace (NOTE:  there is no option to archive a Trace file while a .TRC file is open)
2. Open the Trace 700 Program (not the file)
• "Archive an Existing Project"
• OR File > "Archive Project..."
3. File.TAF is created
4. Use the .TAF file to backup or email all of the disconnected components of a typical .TRC file

Trace uses an Adaptive Server Anywhere SQL Database Engine, which separates the typical Trace components into separate files.  This the reason why Trace files have to be run locally (as opposed to a network drive) and why .TRC files cannot be sent via email, etc. by itself.
