Application Server
Just beneath the Checkout Stations status is the Host Status, which tells you if the host (library
circulation system), is on-line or off-line.
The Off-line Processing feature allows libraries to configure the Application Server and Patron
Self-Checkouts to continue to operate while offline with the library’s circulation system. While
the circulation system is offline, the Application Server records significant events. These events
are reported to the circulation server when synchronization occurs. At the time of
synchronization, the Due Date is sent to the circulation server. When off-line processing is turned
on, the word ON appears next to Off-Line Processing, as shown in Figure 4-4. The feature is
turned on or off by Checkpoint field service personnel by setting a table parameter on the
Application Server. If using the Bridge Interface (described earlier), off-line processing should
never be turned on at the same application server.
The hide button allows you to hide or show the system status display. T n of the
