Installing CONTROL on an Mink Store branch computer
- At Head Office:
- Stop polling from cron so it doesn't interfere later on.
- Update the hosts file assigning the next available IP to the new store. (Do the same on muppets)
Clone last store using brctrl in the MINK company. Modify the address and the a.b.n. Blank out if not available.
- Copy category and stock records to branch from the store you cloned in step 3 (sicrep)
Create the polling location as needed in the MINK company. Should be copy of the store in step 3 and modified accordingly.
- Zero out the status and numbers in page 1
- Put IP address from step 2 into page 1
- Change the branch in page 3
Run commpost -s to automatically generate the polling directories.
$CCDIR/MINK/<BRANCH>
$CCDIR/MINK/<BRANCH>/send
$CCDIR/MINK/<BRANCH>/receive
- 1. Copy data from HO into polling files
cd into $CCDIR/MINK/<BRANCH>
- Make sure there isn't a copy of rslog.dat in the local directory and copy standard rslog.dat into the local directory
- Make sure there isn't a copy of rsendtrn.dat in the local directory and copy standard rsendtrn.dat into the local directory
- Dump the following records to the local copy of rslog.dat IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
- Menus (menurep -l rslog.dat)
- Branches (brurep -l rslog.dat)
- Employees (empurep -l rslog.dat)
- Creditor Types (cutrep -l rslog.dat)
- Creditors (cutrep -l rslog.dat)
- Salespeople (smurep -l rslog.dat)
- Colours (clrurep -l rslog.dat)
- Sizes (sizurep -l rslog.dat)
- Categories (catrep -l rslog.dat)

- BOMs (bomrep -l rslog.dat)
- Debtor Types (dutrep -l rslog.dat)

- Extract ALL Customer Orders, Debtor Payments Gift Vouchers, etc. (sendpost -f tran.dat -o rsendtrn.dat 22 23 24 25 26 36)
- Reenable polling in cron. This should automatically zip the file and place it in send1.zip
- At the Store:
Clone a copy of the last store computer <insert link to different wiki on how to clone over internet> . This should be the store you cloned in step 3 at head office
- Set the new hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network .
- Stop the ftp service. service vsftpd stop
Run clrco on MINK
Delete polling directory tree of the location you cloned $CCDIR/MINK/<OLDSTORE>
Run conset to change to the MINK company
Rename the branch code "1" to be <BRANCH> (brctrl)
Rename the polling location "1" to <BRANCH> (comaad). Zero out all the status and counters on page 1.
Copy a new log.dat from standard to the MINK company directory.
- As the root user, make sure $CCDIR/LOG and $CCDIR/LOG/back is world writable (chmod -R a+w $CCDIR/LOG)
- Run commpost -s once to create polling directories. Verify that polling status ends as 30.
Create employee (empaad) for a new store minkxx.
- Add new ppp connection to the /home/ccc/firewall.setup at line 16.
- Run and test EVERYTHING !!
- After polling runs once, list out the voucher redemptions (salstr 8). Make sure the redemption location matches what is in head office.
