A new scheduler has been set up for the ERP and POS systems to clear out old database records and log files related to Sync to improve performance

Module:

HO Auto Updater,
POS Auto Updater,
Promote-Demote,
HO First Site Migration to Live Sync and
Import JSON at POS(Pending)

Enhancement Summary:

Ginesys has set up a new task scheduler for the POS and ERP systems to clear out old database records and log files of sync data based on settings fixed in the code.

For the POS system, it begins 15 minutes after the system starts up. Its job is to delete log files that are more than 14 days old and database entries that are older than 30 days (Only 30) of sync data. This deletion process lasts for 10 minutes. It removes 25 files at a time, then checks if 10 minutes have passed. If so, it stops. To delete all old database data for the first time after the version update, a patch script will be used. 

The process is similar for the ERP system, but it starts at 8:00 PM every day. It also deletes log files older than 14 days and database entries over 30 days old (Only 30). The deletion process for ERP lasts for 30 minutes, removing 25 files at a time. It then checks if 30 minutes have passed. If so, it stops. The same type of patch script is used for initial database cleanup.

A value of 1 will indicate that users are permitted to skip the backup for one day. If a backup was performed on the 5th day, then the system will prevent user login at the start of the 7th day. However, logging in on the 6th day will be possible as the backup policy is set to 1 which allow a one-day break.

Modification of JSON Generation Feature and Location Configuration

Module:

Configure Live Sync

Enhancement Summary:

Previously, users were required to generate a JSON file after each migration(One Store or more at one selection) process. This is no longer the case. We have moved the 'Generate JSON' option from the Migration window in HO to the 'Action Menu' under 'POS API Config'. Now, a single JSON file will work for all sites, present and future, unless and until there are changes made to the 'POS API Config Live Sync' category URL or date-related changes. If any changes are made to these, then a new JSON file will need to be generated. Otherwise, the same JSON file can be used for all stores.

Splitting of POS Import JSON Functionality

Module:

POS - Import JSON

Enhancement Summary:

We have divided the 'POS Import JSON' functionality into two separate buttons: 'Import' and 'Activate Live Sync'. Users will first locate the JSON file at the POS using the 'Import JSON' button. Once the import is successful, the Activate LiveSync button will be enabled. After clicking on the 'Activate Live Sync' button, the user will receive a success message that indicates Live Sync is ready and start working immediately. The 'Import' button will save the entire API configuration into the POS database, and the 'Activate' button will activate Live Sync based on the saved configuration.
