ZAPZAP (UNIX and WINDOWS NT)

By use of the program ZAPZAP, all movement data of your application are deleted.

In the following, you will be informed about how to execute a ZAPZAP at both the server and the client. The procedure will be described for both UNIX and WINDOWS NT.

Attention!

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application has to be stopped system-wide during the ZAPZAP.

ZAPZAP in UNIX

• Log on at the server as User oscar and stop the whole application.
• Log on at the client(s) as User oscar and stop the application.
• Enter the directory oscar.d {$ cd oscar.d}.
• On every client, the databases (work.n) have to be deleted {$ rm -rf work.n}. n is the number of the process unit. Do NOT delete the server database "work.srv".
• If there are also clients configured for the server, their databases have to be deleted too {$ rm -rf work.n}. n is the number of the process unit.
• The actual carrying-out of the ZAPZAP
• Enter the directory fgl {$ cd fgl}.
• Execute the ZAPZAP {$ oscar zapzap.fgl}.
• Start the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application after the ZAPZAP has been finished {$ oscar start or $ oscar}.
• With the new start of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application, the databases will be restored automatically. It takes some time until the menu dispatch is displayed.
• Note:
• With every ZAPZAP, a ZAPZAP counter will be increased in the table "DbStatus".
• If the client notices that its ZAPZAP counter differs from that of the server, it reports "Client needs reload". Afterwards, the client database will be reloaded automatically by the server. With the execution of zapzap.fgl, the ZAPZAP counter of the server will be increased simultaneously. Please note that execution zapzap.fgl is not allowed in the multi-user mode.

ZAPZAP in WINDOWS NT

• Stop the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS aplication at the server by use of the "Admin-Program" (Start -> Programs -> MICROS Retail OSCAR POS Version - Admin -> oscar stop)
• Stop the application at the clients too (same procedure as above).
• Enter the current "MICROS Retail OSCAR POS directory ". If you use the Explorer, use the mouse; if you work with the prompt, use the command "cd usr\oscar\osc]Version]".
• Delete the directory/ directories "work.n" on the client(s) by use of the command "rd work.n". n is the number of the process unit.
• If there are also clients configured for the server, their databases have to be deleted too ("rd work.n").
• At the server, enter the directory "usr\oscar\osc(Version)\work" by use of cd usr\oscar\osc(Version)\work).
• Now execute the actual "ZAPZAP". Enter the command "oscar zapzap.fgl". Confirm.
• After the "ZAPZAP" has been finished, start the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application as usual.
• Also at the clients, the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application has to be started as usual. The databases will be restored automatically.

Attention!

oscar zazap.fgl DELCP deletes the calculated average prices.

This has to be carried out manually to delete everything.
