| Issue ID | Title | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Drawers | ||
| 14138 | OPOS Drawer slowness investigation |
Current Proxy functionality allows multiple proxies to access the same cash drawer on a POS workstation. A new option has been introduced. Now the Cash Drawer plugin (OPOSCshDrwr.DLL) will read an additional optional field from the OPOSConf.ini file, called ClaimAtStartup. If this value is 1, the Proxy claims the cash drawer at proxy startup time, and holds it until the proxy terminates (faster response to drawer open and status requests). If this value is 0, or the field is not present (as for current users), the Proxy claims the cash drawer at each drawer open or status request and releases it again. This allows multiple proxies to access the same cash drawer, if required. Note: You must manually enter this option and its parameter in the OPOSConf.ini file under the cash drawer section.

| 14282 | RPS interconnection queue should be able to process more than one request at a time | By default RPS module will have 10 interconnection listeners - 10, because it needs to serve back office and common services and they have 5 receiving threads by default. If needed this number could be increased by adding and editing the following parameter in RPSRestServiceModule.ini file: [SYSTEM] RPSLISTENERCNT=10 The count should be a positive number, but within reason - setting it to anything higher than the sum of number of receiving threads in BackOffice and Common services is pointless and would be a waste of resources. It is recommended to keep it as 10 initially, and raise it as necessary when increasing the number of receiving threads in your system is needed. Note: the number of receiving threads for BackOffice and Common services could be found out by examining the following setting in their INI files: PrismBackOffice.ini And PrismCommon.ini [SERVICE] RECVTHREADCNT=5 |
