Configuring the Start Screen


Configuration files	..\parameter\client\ui.properties

During POS Client start-up, the initialization of the devices is displayed on the start screen.

The following is configurable:

Troubleshooting

It is configurable how to proceed on which device if an error occurs.

If a device cannot be initialized, the following default settings are possible:

The configuration is set in the file ui.properties:

StartupScreenConfig.initFailActionDefault=MANDATORY

The behavior is configurable for each device.

The following possibilities are available:


Entry	Description
CONTINUE	Continue. The POS will continue the start process also if the initialization of a device fails.
OPTIONAL	Continue, shut down the POS Clients or retry the initialization attempt.
MANDATORY	Default setting. You can either repeat initialization or shut down the POS Clients.
ABORT	You can only shut down the POS Client.

In order to define the behavior for a particular device, perform the desired setting for the corresponding device ID:

StartupScreenConfig.initFailActions.[DeviceID]=OPTIONAL

The device ID is found in the file hal.properties .

A separate configuration for the printer with the device ID pr_ibm_4610_TF6_com2 looks like as follows:

StartupScreenConfig.initFailActions.pr_ibm_4610_TF6_com2=OPTIONAL

The device description is maintained in the file hal.properties by means of a translation key.

DeviceEntryTypes.VIRTUAL.descriptionKey=device.entry.virtual.terminal

The key is stored in the translation file ui-translation_{language_country}.properties , e.g. in the file ui-translation_de_en.properties :

device.entry.virtual.terminal=Virtuelles EFT

If no descriptionKey is defined, the description is used:

DeviceEntryTypes.VIRTUAL.description=Virtual terminal
