Starting the Sales Debug

In order to allow booking processes to be controlled internally, you can start the Sales debug. The Sales debug is a protocol in which all transactions carried out in the terminal system are listed.

Sales Debug in UNIX

• Stop the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application via MICROS Retail OSCAR POS stop.
• Enter the command SALESDEBUG=Y,
• then export SALESDEBUG
• Start the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application again via MICROS Retail OSCAR POS start.
• Enter tail -f errlog.

Sales Debug in WINDOWS NT

• Activation of the sales debug
• Stop the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application.
• Open the file MICROS Retail OSCAR POS.ini by use of a text editor (e.g. WordPad).
• Move to the line __SALESDEBUG=<free text>
• Delete the two underlines (__) to activate the sales debug.
• Save the file.
• Start the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application again.
• Deactivation of the sales debug
• Proceed as described above but insert the deleted underlines again.
• Note:
• Since the sales debug needs memory space and can slow down the application, you should only activate it if you actually need a protocol.

Notes!

For both UNIX and WINDOWS NT applies:

• The protocol is recorded in the file errlog.
• Since the errlog grows in size quickly, it is often useful to delete the errlog file before the start of the sales debug. A new errlog will be created automatically with the start of the sales debug.
