RMS POS 2.0 - Copy Macro Buttons?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by J_Cor 60
I'm getting ready to configure 14 terminals and figured I'd ask this to see if I can save myself some time. I setup a custom keyboard in Store Operations but many of the buttons will be macros. Do I have to preform the macros at EVERY register or is there a way to cheat and copy the macros I made on one register across all the others???

    I see the macro table is SQL...is it as easy as copying one registers data for all the others register id's?

    A good solution is to configure the macro in your template before creating the initial store databases.  I have had limited sucess with bulk export/import and bcp (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917564.aspx) but once a store database has been created, future macro edits are best done by re-recording the key strokes from the terminal.

    Did you get a solution for this?  I see that the actual string is not stored int he SQL.

    method I've been using looks something like this:

    clear out existing macro and event table, then recreate macro names

    delete from macro

    insert into macro (RegisterID, Caption, AssignmentNumber) values (1,'Macro Name', 1)

    ...

    delete from macroevent

    bcp database..macroevent in macro.txt -c -Scompname -Uuser -Ppassord

    macro.txt has exported events from another store using

    bcp database..macroevent out macro.txt -c -Scompname -Uuser -Ppassord

    reassign macroid in new event table to match new macro table

    update macroevent set macroid=macro.id from macroevent join macro on macroid=assignmentnumber

    Of course none of this matters anymore since win10 wont let you use macros in RMS POS
