Installation 1- 5
Installing the Database
360Store products such as Point-of-Sale and Back Office use the 360Store database. One 360Store
database is typically installed in each store. Data stored in the 360Store database includes employee
names, logon information, transaction data, and the inventory database. The database can be located on
the store server or on a separate machine acting as the database server. The database must be installed
before Point-of-Sale can be installed.
To complete the installation script, you must know the database location:
• If you install Point-of-Sale on the same machine as the database, the script asks for the database
directory location.
• If you install Point-of-Sale on a different machine from the database, the script asks for the hostname
or IP address and RMI port number of the machine running the database.
The Point-of-Sale installation process installs scripts to build the tables and insert a minimal data set.
Steps for running these scripts are included later in the process.
Installing JMS
JMS queues may be used by Point-of-Sale for distribution of Ejournal and POSlog data to other systems.
The JMS API provides a standardized means for sending messages between applications and application
components.
If you are installing the server component so that a new instance of JBossMQ runs on the store server, the
installation script performs the installation. If you are using an existing instance of a JBossMQ queue, a
JBoss queue on another machine, or another type of JMS queue, install it before running the Point-of-
Sale installation scripts. You must define information about the queue manually in appropriate
configuration scripts.
Additional information about JBoss is available at http://www.jboss.org.
Most of the work of installing JMS is performed by the installer itself, but you need to set up the class
part with application server .jar files and set the location of the corporate server.
To install JMS on the server:
1. Edit the posenv.bat file by removing rem from rem call jboss.bat . This enables setting up the
classpath for JBoss.
2. Check jboss.bat to make certain it points to the store server where JBoss is installed.
3. Edit the pos/bin/comm.properties file by adding the following lines:
a.
comm.jms.topicConnectionFactory.name.centraloffice=ConnectionFactory
b. comm.jms.queueConnectionFactory.name.centraloffice=ConnectionFactory
4. Remove any other copies of the comm.properties file from the pos/config directory.
5. Check pos/config/centraloffice.jndi.properties to make certain the Central Office server
name is set correctly.
6. Edit the jndi/config/backoffice.jndi.properties file by setting values for the store server host
and port number in the following property:
