Process Units Status
The following program description deals with:
- Remarks on the Program Function
- Remarks on the Input Fields
- Use the Index to find the required field description.
Remarks on the Program Function
By use of this program, the status of all of the processing units can be displayed on the screen. This information provides the user with details on the current state of each terminal and to check for offline conditions. Warning messages can be issued indicating an offline condition for a terminal for statistic reports, which are called up at the administration terminal. Further details on offline messages can be found in the documentation Offline messages for POS.
Note:
Generation of the offline status messages is dealt with by a permanent
background process, i.e. the alert manager. A Process
unit of type "OscarClient" must be set up for this application
program. The name of the application program "AlertManager" should be
entered in field Program name.
Remarks on the Input Fields
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
As with nearly all programs, the following also applies here:
- The entry mask in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program may differ for this program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
- Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
- If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
- In some cases, you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1> depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
