# Synthetic Transactions Installation Instructions

## Prerequisites

- Minimum Version: Requires SysTrack 9.0 or later.

## Notes

- After this DEX Pack is installed, it may take up to 24 hours for data to appear.

## Installation Steps

To install this DEX Pack, complete the following steps:

1. [Import the Kit](/documentation/docs/synthetic-transactions-installation-instructions#import-kit).
2. [Set Up an Automation Framework](/documentation/docs/synthetic-transactions-installation-instructions#automation-framework).
3. [Set Up a Folder for Scripts and Helper Files](/documentation/docs/synthetic-transactions-installation-instructions#scripts-and-helper-files).
4. [Assign the Synthetic Transactions Role to Relevant Configurations](/documentation/docs/synthetic-transactions-installation-instructions#synthetic-transactions-role).

### Import the Kit

There are two ways to import the DEX Pack to SysTrack:

- Import the pack directly from the Kits page in SysTrack. See the [Import Online Kits](/documentation/docs/import-online-kits) guide for more information.
- Import a local file downloaded from the [DEX and Kit Downloads](/documentation/docs/dex-packs-dex-and-kit-downloads) page. Click the **Download Kit** link for the pack and follow the [Import Local Kits](/documentation/docs/import-local-kits) guide to finish the import.

### Set Up an Automation Framework

This DEX Pack requires the user to create and run scripts using a third-party automation framework. We recommend installing the AutoIt framework because the User Guide and SysTrack-related files were designed for AutoIt. Other similar frameworks can be used, but they may require additional configuration not covered by the User Guide.

### Set Up a Folder for Scripts and Helper Files

Synthetic transactions require scripts and helper files specific to your enterprise’s use cases, as well as a couple SysTrack-related files. When using AutoIt, a folder for a synthetic transaction must contain the following files:

1. SysTrack AutoIt Function (**LSITrace.au3**)
2. SysTrack Helper File (**LsiTraceLib.dll**)
3. **Enterprise-Specific Script(s)**
4. **App-Specific Helper File(s)**

The first two files can be found in the **setup.zip** file for this DEX Pack. The other files must be created or acquired by your enterprise.

If your enterprise is using an automation framework other than AutoIt, you must create or acquire functional equivalents to the LSITrace.au3 and LsiTraceLib.dll files.

For more info on using these files, read the [Creating and Running Scripts](/documentation/docs/synthetic-transactions-user-guide#creating-and-running-scripts1) section in the Synthetic Transactions User Guide.

### Assign the Synthetic Transactions Role to Relevant Configurations

This DEX Pack requires you to assign the SF_Synthetic Transactions Role to the relevant Configurations:

1. Navigate to **Configure** > **Configurations**.
2. Click the **padlock icon** in the upper-right to enable editing.
3. Use the drop-down at the top to select a relevant Configuration, or create a new Configuration.
4. Assign the **SF_Synthetic Transactions** Role to the **Configuration** by dragging it from **Available Roles to Assigned Roles.**
5. Click **Save Changes** at the top-right.
6. Repeat this process for any other relevant **Configurations.**
