A. There are a couple of items that need to be taken care of to add additional RealWare users.

    a. First, you will need to obtain additional Oracle Licenses for each user.  The Department of Revenue will provide the license if the user is a full-time staff member in the County Assessor’s Office.  If the user is outside of the County Assessor’s Office (e.g. Treasurer’s...

Currently, the standard back-up strategy is to have Oracle create a nightly export file (in a .dmp file format) of all the data in your database.  The Assessor is then encouraged to back-up that export file to another media (disk, dvd, tape, etc.) and to periodically store that media off-site.  The export process in Oracle also creates a log file, which will provide a status (including any...

To check if your nightly backup ran successfully, go to the following path on your CAMA server:

 

d:\oracle backup\expwy[county number].log

 

This is a text file that you can open with wordpad or notepad.  Simply scroll to the bottom of the file and look for the following message:

 

Export Terminated Successfully Without Warnings.

 

Any other message should be researched...

When utilizing the cost approach counties are to appraise custom log homes as specified by Marshall & Swift in their publication, "Log Home Appraisal Training Guide." This guide instructs the appraiser how to value a custom log home using the Residential Cost Handbook. The Property Tax Division has purchased a copy of this training guide for every county. They will be forwarded to each...

Titled mobile homes should be listed under an “M” account type in RealWare. This account type is specifically earmarked for titled mobile homes. “M” accounts will receive a separate Assessment Notice from Real Property (“R” accounts in RealWare), and are conveyed as a separate item from Real Property to the tax roll, unless the Assessor uses the “Group Account” function to group to group an “M” account...

Yes, Apex will do this functionality.  Simply open Apex separately and define the drawing as "Site Survey".  Remember, Apex is one of the products contained within the suite of applications that the State provides as part of the CAMA project.

To ensure uniformity in the CAMA system, all enhancements are managed together for the entire State.   The best way to request an enhancement is to post your comments in the Enhancement Requests area of the CAMA website, not directly to CCI!

 

Once your enhancement has had time to gather comments, a call for an Assessors vote will be posted.  The trick here is that all enhancement...

There are certain tables in RealWare that we recommend you update at the beginning of each year. These are recommendations only, so update only the tables you think are important to your jurisdiction.
 
This maintenance can be done in either December or January and should be updated to the next year.  For example in Dec 2005 or Jan 2006, the tables should be updated with data for 2007. ...

The Oracle backup file is located on your CAMA server at the following path:

d:/oracle backup/exp[countynumber].dmp

In the past, Wyoming Counties were able to initiate a rebuild of their local DataMart at any time.  However, recently several issues have been uncovered that make this practice impractical.  Due to some security concerns and the overall fragile nature of the nightly data replication to the State, this ability has been indefinitely suspended.

 

Regardless, the current DataMart replication...
