Procedure documentationRebuilding Local Files Through the POS Server

Procedure

This feature allows local files to be rebuilt by the POS Server during the End of Day process. It provides the ability to ensure that local files are brought in sync with the server files as frequently as required. When activated, the rebuild process will occur automatically after the End of Day process is completed on every day specified until it is deactivated. For instance, if an End of Day for Monday is initiated at 11:59 and completed after 12:00 am Tuesday, the rebuild will only impact Monday's files. It will not occur during any other parameter file download process. It will also not occur if there is not sufficient disk space on the machine.

The files currently supported by this feature are:

  • PLU

  • Xref

  • Promotions

  • Qty/Level Pricing

  • Link Items

  • Department.

To define when selected local files should be rebuilt:

  1. In the POS Configurations Screen choose the Terminal tab.

  2. Choose Register Parameters.

  3. Choose Open.

  4. Choose the Local File Rebuild tab.

  5. For the required file (see list of supported files above) choose beside the day of the week when the selected file should be rebuilt. You may choose more than one day. The file will be rebuilt after regular End of Day processing is completed.

  6. Choose Save and then choose Close.
