1.3) Planned Enhancements
OpenGTS is always evolving, and new features are continually being made available. Here are some general
categories of the features that are in the planning or implementation stage:
• Additonal map features.
• Additional reports.
GTS Enterprise was built on OpenGTS and has several additional features available as well (more information
regarding the GTS Enterprise can be found at "http://www.geotelematic.com/gts.html"):
• Support for several “commercial use” mapping service providers.
• Support for many additional remote GPS tracking devices.
• Additional reporting options.
• Simple 'Rules' engine to send notifications based on criteria from incoming events (enhanced Event Notification
Rules Engine is also available).

In order to provide a generic installation/configuration document that covers various systems types (ie. Windows XP,
Mac OS X, and the various Linux distributions), and the various versions of the OpenGTS system, the following
conventions and assumptions have been adopted within this document:
1) This document will assume that the target operating system is Linux-based. For other operating system types,
the appropriate path separators and directory specifications will need to be used that match the requirements of
your specific operating system. Environment variable specification may also vary between operating systems.
For instance, to de-reference the JAVA_HOME environment vairable, "%JAVA_HOME%" would be specified on a
Windows system, while "$JAVA_HOME" is specified on Linux and Mac OS X.
2) This document will assume that the directory in which OpenGTS will be installed is "/usr/local/". If you will
be installing OpenGTS in a different directory, you will need to replace the directory references in this document
to the directory in which OpenGTS was installed.
3) OpenGTS has a frequent release schedule. For consistency, this document will assume that the version of
OpenGTS to be installed is "OpenGTS_1.2.3". So references to "OpenGTS_1.2.3" within this document
should be replaced with the actual name and version of OpenGTS that you will be installing.
4) On various command line examples, you may see the directory specification "/zzz". This specification is
simply a placeholder name representing some current directory on your system, and not a literal directory name
existing on your system.
5) In various locations within this document, command-line options are specified as "-argName=value", where
"argName" is the name of a command-line argument, and "value" is the value to be assigned to the command-
ine argument. When entering commands in Windows at a DOS command prompt (such as when using the
".bat" version of the commands), command arguments such as -rootUser=root MUST either be enclosed
in quotes, as in "-rootUser=root", or be specified with a colon instead of an equal-sign, as in
-rootUser:root (preferred).
6) In various locations within this document, the displayed command-line options may include example values that
are to be replaced with values specific to your requirements. For example, a command-line option indicating an
account may be specified as "-account=myaccount" or as "-account=<myaccount>". In this case the
argument name "-account=" may be taken literally, while "myaccount" or "<myaccount>" indicates a value
that should be replaced with a specific value matching your requirements.
7) In various locations within this document, the displayed command-line options may command-line parameters
which are optional (they only need to be included to for some applications, or to change the default behavior).
These optional parameters will be displayed within square-brackets '[' ... ']' (eg. "[-dir=/tmp/gts]") These
square-bracket will indicate that the parameter specified within the brackets is optional, depending on the
command requirements. The square-brackets themselves are not to be included in the entered command.
