Function documentationDATA Files

 

The file name denotes time frame and how the data is totaled in any data file. The format of the filenames in RDATA and SDATA is as follows:

  • LD: Register local daily files (functionally the same as RD)

  • RD: Register daily files.

  • RP: Register previous day files

  • SC: Store consolidation files

  • SD: Store current day files

  • SM: Store monthly/fiscal period files

  • SP: Store previous day files

  • SW: Store weekly files

For example:

  • ld.txn is the register daily transaction log file

  • sp.smv is the consolidated previous day SKU movement file

Register or Local files are found in RDATA on any POS terminal while Store files are found only on the database server or backup server.

Data by drawer and shift are kept in these files:

  • xxdwr.eee

  • xxshftn.eee

Where:

  • xx represents the first two characters discussed previously.

  • n represents the shift number

  • eee represents the extension

For example:

  • lddwr.tot is the current day totals file by drawer.

  • rpshft2.tot is the previous day totals file for that register for shift number 2
