Device Service
This application (Device Service = ApplDevService) can
substitute the application "oscardev". Compared to the use of
"oscardev" there are various advantages:
- It is possible to use multiple process units per system
unit, e. g. one for a printer, one for Orderman and one for other remote
device.
- Like any other client, it is possible to work with a
client database.
- To load as possible as few tables,
ApplDevService loads only the system tables, and the tables defined in
ApplCommon and misc..
The configuration is exactly as the orcardev, but
with following variations in the process unit table:
- Client instead of device must be specified in the
attribute type of the program type
- In the program name field, you must specify the name of
the ApplComp (DevService). Thus, the process unit is a replacement for
oscardev.
- In the fixed port number of the device service port must
be specified. Oscardev use (Portbase + 3), see oscar.ini or table installation.
The default value is 6103. In case, no port number is entered or the
specified port is already occupied, the device service will not work
- The toggle "has database" must
set to true.
