If you have a large outlet like a supermarket with many terminals you can follow the steps below to create a network with almost zero downtime !
- 1) You should have two windows servers
- 2) Servers should be named Server and Server-B
- 3) Each terminals including server should connect to both servers as follows.
- 4) Drive letter P to Server and B to Server-B
- 5) Default connected drive must be P on all terminals
- 6) If Main server goes down all you do is on each terminal change data drive letter to B
- 7) On Main server (P) set parameter 260 to 1/B
- 8. On Server-B (B) set parameter 261 to 1/(COMPANY NUMBER)
- 9) On Main server(P) Setup dashboard to auto run at a specific time when you closed example 9pm. Insert entry in dashboard under:- Send data to head office drive letter B
- 10) On Server-B (B) Setup Dashboard to auto run at a specific time when you close (plus 30 minutes) example 9.30pm. Insert entry in dashboard under :- Head Office Unarjing for company (COMPANY NUMBER) and below insert drive C
- 11) Please note DASHBAORD must be purchased from CompuByte separately for using options 9 and 10.
- 12) Make sure you set on SERVER-B parameter 516 to 1
Very important server-b should be dedicated and not used for sales - server b must always have data drive as C and not P
