[Data]
ww.dll
ConnectionString
Any valid string
“”(empty string)
The string that ww.dll uses to communicate with the SiriusSQL server. After it has been entered during installation, ww.dll encrypts it so that only ww.dll can read it.
 
 
[Data]
Sales / FileSync
DataPath
Any valid local path
Current directory where Sales is launched plus "\data\"
Path to local data.
 
Example:
DataPath=C:\Program Files\Siriusware\Sales\Data\
or
C:\ProgramData\Siriusware\FileSync\Data
 
If not provided, operator is prompted for path at Sales startup.
 
 
[Data]
ww.dll
DefaultInfo
Valid Characters
“”(empty string)
Used to specify default fields that ww.dll can reference. Typically set to <operator>WEBOP</operator><salespoint>WEBSP</salespoint>.
 
 
[Data]
 
LayoutPath
Any valid local path
Current directory where Sales is launched plus "\Layouts\"
Local path to layouts is C:\Program Files\Siriusware\Sales\Layouts\, but a different local layout path may be specified using this setting.
 
SharedDataPath
[Data]
ww.dll
GuestFilter
Any combination of characters and integers
“”(empty string)
Additional criteria for guest lookup.
 
Example:
GuestFilter=role_no<>2
 
This ensures that only guests without a role_no of 2 are returned.
 
 
[Data]
 
PDFPath
Any valid local path
<ProgramData>\PDF
The PDFPath PrintEZ.INI setting is no longer used. The default path for generated PDFs is now specified in the [Data] section of the Sales32c_system.INI file.
 
Example:
PDFPath=C:\ProgramData\Siriusware\Sales\pah_pdfs\
 
Sales now stores PDF files created by PrintEZ application in the location defined by the PDFPath setting in the [Data] section of the Sales32c_system.INI file. If this setting is missing from Sales32c_system.INI, Sales creates the folder called PDF in the ProgramData\Siriusware\Sales folder and store the files in that location. Additionally, Sales updates the setting in Sales32c_system.INI with that path.
 
Example:
PdfPath=C:\ProgramData\Siriusware\Sales\PDF\
 
 
 
[Data]
FileSync
ProgramDataPath
Any valid path to local fileserver running FileSync
C:\ProgramData\Siriusware\FileSync
FileSync’s ProgramData Path
 
 
[Data]
ww.dll
ReplSpSuffix
Three digit numeric string
999
A string which requires three digits and is used for the generation of keys in ww.dll. This only works when data is being replicated and ww.dll has its own server data to work with. Additionally, when the data is created, the max keys in the sequence table (for that salespoint) must be set.
 
 
[Preferences]
FileSync
SalesProgramDataPath
 
“” (empty string)
A new .INI setting now indicates where FileSync in Food & Beverage mode looks for the tables.config file.
 
At startup, FileSync application looks at this location for tables.config and, if found, copies it to its own ProgramData path. This file, then, is used for the table configuration in ProgramData\FileSync\Data and to make sure the data versions of FileSync and Sales applications are compatible. In addition, sp_info now has a version field and the tables.config has a version tag, and FileSync application indicates any salespoints which are not of a compatible version and give a message to restart Sales and FileSync and that if the problem persists, there is a configuration problem. The message appears in the FileSync monitor service monitor and states Sales version doesn't match the FileSync version of the data. This could mean that the salespoints or FileSync applications need to be restarted to update or could indicate a problem with the FileSync configuration.
 
 
[Data]
ww.dll
SaveSize
Positive Integer representing memory size
100000
Used to specify how much information is retained by ww.dll. If the log file saved in memory exceeds twice SaveSize, then it is trimmed back to the amount specified by this setting.
 
Example:
SaveSize=100500 saves only the last 100,500 bytes.
 
 
[Data]
ww.dll
SetAppRole
TRUE/FALSE
FALSE
If TRUE, sets the SiriusApp role on startup. This is only set if the sirius user is being used and connection pooling is disabled. See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q229/5/64.asp for information on how to disable connection pooling. The string:
 
;OLE DB Services= -2
 
must be added to the ConnectionString for this to work.
 
 
[Data]
Food Service
Rentals
SharedDataPath
Any valid path to local fileserver running FileSync
“” (empty string)
Adds the ability to save/recall sales off-line. The salespoint maintains its own sales_pt and miscellaneous tables, but all transactional tables are shared on a local fileserver. In order to forward/update these tables, FileSync is used.
 
Note: This requires FileSync version 1.0.00g or later as well as the correct registry settings.
 
Note: This is only used in areas where the salespoints are co-located and have the same group/sub-group (e.g., dining establishments, rental shops).
 
DataPath
[Data]
ww.dll
TestCard
Sixteen digit positive integers
“”(empty string)
Credit card to use for testing. ww.dll does not attempt to communicate with the credit card server if a purchase is made using the test card defined here. Typically, 5454545454545454 is used. This setting should not be used if your Sales Host is processing the sale – if it is, the Sales Host returns an error when it goes to process the sale.
