How to implement SAMBA Custom Changes to other machines and database
Not quite sure what you mean, once youve made changes you just restore that backup to your machine. If all your machines are connected to the same database they will see the changes
Can you explain more?
You will need to buy the database tools module if using V4, V5 has it built in as part of the licence fee
Ok, its like this. I have added some tables, created deliver section, modified some buttons etc on one machine. Now i have installed a new samba POS on another machine with a separate database, how can i implement same changes/coding in the new machine which is running separate set of database.
Backup and restore is easiest way, samba has a built in backup page in the manage section, in v5 its included by default.
Then on your new terminal just clear database transactions so youll have your database copied over ready to use
Another method is using sql management tool. Though probably best not to fiddle with it, but you could save a database backup of the database you had everything on(including custom changes). Then once you installed sql on new system, restore database via sql management and if successful, literally almost every custom change you created and made will be implemented, with just you needing (if necessary) to install samba modules via samba market within sambapos…
I can post some screenshots later when I’m back at work. In saying that the inbuilt database back tool also works well
I did the database backup & restore, i created a copy of my current system to the new machine, but how about if i don’t want to copy customer/ticket/other but only system configuration.
In other words, I want to do changes in system configuration (on my test computer), adding new features etc and when i am done with my changes, i want to implement those changes to existing system (which is live in restaurant) so i don’t want to loose my data of customers, tickets, reports etc but want to have new changes rolled out to the system.
Database Tools: Export to file
Probably easiest, then you choose what you want to transfer. Clearing transactions will keep accounts.
It won’t break your machine if you do that whilst its running live, but id advise not to do it on a live machine and backup before you do it.
