For the data administration
of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application, a Process Unit of the Login
Unit type should be set up in your system.
Login units have to be set
up if you want to sign on at a System Unit of
a different Installation for remote
maintenance. This may be a process unit of a different installation within a
local network or a remote process unit of a different installation via a DTM
connection.
Note:
The remote maintenance (System -> Configuration -> Installation -> Remote Oscar) requires that
a process unit of the login unit type is set up for all installations at which
you would like to sign on.
Process units of the login
unit type can be started by an authorized user via the command "oscar".
Warning!
Entry of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS_USER=Username in file "oscar.ini"
changes the reaction of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS only under Vista. No changes occur with
all other Windows operating systems.
If the
environment variable "MICROS Retail OSCAR POS_USER" is not set under Vista the Oscar
service (oscard) automatically starts all processing units which are to be
started with GUI in the currently valid console session (if a console session
exists). Normally, terminals which operate with auto login can then be
operated.
If, however,
MICROS Retail OSCAR POS_USER=Username was set oscard automatically starts the appropriate
processing units with GUI only in sessions for the operator stated (if this
person has been signed on at the processor). This setting can be advisable if
the operators continuously change at a system unit or the system unit is to be
operated via Remote-Desktop / Terminal server.
Procedure for set up of a Login Unit for the operation of an administration

this process unit of type login unit, you can sign on at every system unit you
like within an installation using the command "oscar".
