Narrative:
Called for clearance from loz. I cleared him to an initial altitude of 5000 ft. When he departed, I idented him and climbed him to 9000 ft. The aircraft wasn't departed in the host computer, therefore a track was never started. This resulted in aircraft flying through other sector's airspace without coordination. As a result, this aircraft also got within 3 mi of another aircraft. After this, the problem was fixed and track was properly started.

Title: ZID CTLR FORGETS TO ELECTRONICALLY DEPART IFR FLT PLAN OF A C421 TO BEGIN TRACKING, AND ACFT EXITS CTLR'S AIRSPACE INTO ANOTHER'S WITHOUT A HDOF, COMING INTO CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER TRACKED ACFT.
Narrative: CALLED FOR CLRNC FROM LOZ. I CLRED HIM TO AN INITIAL ALT OF 5000 FT. WHEN HE DEPARTED, I IDENTED HIM AND CLBED HIM TO 9000 FT. THE ACFT WASN'T DEPARTED IN THE HOST COMPUTER, THEREFORE A TRACK WAS NEVER STARTED. THIS RESULTED IN ACFT FLYING THROUGH OTHER SECTOR'S AIRSPACE WITHOUT COORD. AS A RESULT, THIS ACFT ALSO GOT WITHIN 3 MI OF ANOTHER ACFT. AFTER THIS, THE PROB WAS FIXED AND TRACK WAS PROPERLY STARTED.
