Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can maintain the update parameters for the files to be sent to the corresponding sub-installations for particular files, i.e. create new data records, modify or delete existing data. You can also view existing data for information purposes.

The sending of the modified basic data of the main installation is to be carried out via the button Update Installation in the update program Installation.

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these basic data

Just like in almost any other program:

The input mask may be different in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the application. In some cases some data fields may be missing.
Some input fields may contain default values or defined selection options; these cannot be updated.
The input mask contains some fields that require an entry and others in which entries are optional.
If the data record is updated via multi-page input masks, go to the dialog window by clicking on the appropriate buttons with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure applies to call up another update program from this program.
In some cases you may find that so-called "Switches" which - depending on the default - can be activated or deactivated with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches are identified by their dark color, deactivated switches are lighter-colored.

File Name

Permitted input range: alphanumeric, max. 20 chars.

Enter the name of the database table for which you would like to adjust particular parameter settings. If you do not know the name, you can also select the data record via the Search Function.

Note:
This option can be activated to speed up the transfer of data. This requires, that the data to be transfered are consistent within itself.

This can be used especially for status tables like "CustState", "CustStateBranch", "OperState", "SupplState", "ShopPropertyState".

The status tables "ProcUnitStat" und "TransActNo" and "CentralVoucher" saved as "Voucher" will be created automatically without to activate the option "Save".
