The program description deals with the following:

• Remarks on Program function
• Remarks on Data fields
• Use the Index to find the field description required.

Remarks on program function

The files for the version control parameters can be updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed.

The version control parameters can be used to define which files are to be used to ascertain the checksums for the directories or individual files of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. The report "Version Control" can be printed on the basis of the parameters defined here and this report shows the checksums of individual files, of whole directories and the master checksum of all program files. This report can be used as a comparison document or as a version control for the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program.

Group name

Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 8 pos.

Enter a group name in this field under which the checksum for the directory or an individual file is to be printed in report System -> Check -> Version control.

Note:
Files which contain the detailed checksums of all files of the directory concerned (e.g. FSM.checksum, BIN.checksum etc.) will be created in directory "..\work" for each group in addition to report print "Version Control". Existing files will be cleared when the report is called up.

Enter the path for the directory or for an individual file which is to be subjected to a version control operation.

For example

· ..\bin\

· ..\bin\libui.dll
(for the check of an individual file).
