Function documentationThe Xpress Server

 

The POS Xpress server is a store level server application that typically resides in the back office of a retail store (although in small stores it can reside on a POS terminal). The Xpress server’s functions include:

  • Trickling of transaction log and journal data

  • Database access

  • Credit authorization

  • Consolidated reporting

  • End of day reporting

  • Processing of download file formats

  • Automatic data backup and recovery

  • Data redundancy

You may choose to run a single Xpress server in each store, or to also run a backup server at each location to provide an extra layer of redundancy should the primary server fail (see The Backup Server for more information).
