Remarks on the Program Function

As from version MICROS Retail OSCAR POS 41 automatic software update will be carried out on the basis of new criteria (ASU 2). This is done automatically using the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS version under which the automatic software update is started.

As the functions of this program differ considerably in many points this documentation has been divided up as follows:

· As from version MICROS Retail OSCAR POS 41 "Software Update 2" (ASU 2) will be used.

· Program "Software-Update" (ASU) will be used for MICROS Retail OSCAR POS versions 40 and older.

By use of this program, you can view error and status messages recorded during a Software Update of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program.

Note:
By default, only error and info messages are displayed in the list window. If you would like to view all recorded messages, you have to activate the option Warning and Debug to be able to view the warnings and debug messages.

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.

Just like in almost any other program:

• The Input Mask may be different in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the application. In some cases some Data Fields may be missing.
• Some input fields may contain default values or defined selection options; these cannot be updated.
• The input mask contains some fields that require an entry and others in which entries are optional.
• If the data record is updated via multi-page input masks, go to the Dialog Window by clicking on the appropriate buttons with <Mouse key 1>.
• The same procedure applies to call up another update program from this program.
• In some cases you may find that so-called "Switches" which - depending on the default - can be activated or deactivated with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches are identified by their dark color, deactivated switches are lighter-colored.
