Procedure documentationUpdating the Electronic Journal Viewer

Procedure

Updating the viewer makes new journal files visible in the Journal Search window so you can select them. One journal file for each occurrence of the Open Terminal function is located in the folder that you specified in the Current Day Dirfield in the Electronic Journal Setup window. You must update the viewer every time a new journal is added to the Journal Search window.

The update process requires you to run an external application (ejp.exe) from Microsoft Windows Explorer. You cannot run the program from within the Store Manager unless you set it up as a third-party application.

Recommendation Recommendation

It is recommended that your head office set the ejp.exe to run automatically every night, this would make this manual procedure unnecessary.

End of the recommendation.

For information about setting up and running third-party applications, see Incorporating Third-Party Applications.

You do not have to close the Store Manager to update the journal viewer, but you should close the Electronic Journal Viewer. The following procedure describes the update process that is based on running the application using Windows Explorer, and having the external application in the default location. If the file is not in the default location, you can use the Windows Explorer Find utility to locate it.

Once you have updated the viewer, you can select and open the new journal file. For information about selecting and opening a journal file, see Opening a Journal File.

  1. Open Microsoft Windows explorer. Open the Program Files\Sales Journal viewer folder.
