daytrn.dat

• |

sen2post -fdaytrn.dat -osndtrn.dat 36 -BLOCA 21 22 23 (filter appropriate for recieving store and convert pointers. Equivalent to logmin WITHOUT -a. 36=GVSALE, see log.h)

DIRECTORIES USED BY POLLING (commin):

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/send/

• Directory containing files to be sent to this branch.

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/send/lastsend

• File containing sequence number of most recent generated send file.

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/send/back/

• Directory containing backup copies of old sendfiles.

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/receive

• Directory containing recently recieved but not yet processed files for this branch.

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/receive/lastrecv

• File containing sequence number of newest sendfile sucessfully recieved.

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/receive/stuffed/

• Directory containing old files that failed "unzip -t" test for transfer errors.

CCDIR/COMPANY/POLLING_LOCATION(branch)/report

• Directory containing copies of report output to be transferred to head office. (or, recieved by head office)

COMAAD NOTES: "Detatched" operation generates sendfiles but does not try to transfer. Generate options:

• Local branch ... args: ALL or list of numbers seperated by spaces. Stock Counts: ALL or list of branch names seperated by spaces. debtor balances: Y/N create tenders...: ALL, blank.

Process options:

• .. progs to be run: ALL or list of program prefixes. dr(aad) s(post) etc.

Distribute options:

• determines what data branch should be sent from HO. for own group, assoc group parameters:
