Hi @emre
These Maps either do not work or work intermittent:
Can you check these out please Emre?
For Product to save you must define Product Group as well.
Can you define Flakey because that could be anything.
EDIT: I just tested it and it all seems to work just fine. Maybe show some examples?
EDIT2: Ok I was able to confirm Product Tag is not working I also found this:
https://forum.sambapos.com/t/product-tag-in-print-job-mapping/7876/12
But it seems to not work either.
Thanks KD you solved 1 issue - did not know you had to combine a Product with a Product Group.
Have you tested Product Tag OR does this operate the same as Product (as above)?
Flakey I mean it just stopped printing all together? I logged in and out and also put the printing back to default? The only way it started again was removed everything, mapped all “*” and then it started again.
It may just be related to your answers above…
EDIT: I can get by if I can map a Group and Products in the Group - that will work for the time being.
I can’t reproduce that I tried all kinds of things and the Product Group mapping works every time. I tried every combination I could think of to get Product Tag to work and it just would not work. I wonder if @emre forgot to fix it since it was recently discussed only 2 versions ago.
EDIT: Perhaps you were trying Product Tag and thats why it didnt print? I noticed that it doesnt print anything at all if you define a Product Tag mapping.
OK, no worries.
Can I ask a quick question on official V5.1.60Rel - “Do you think it has slowed a tiny bit with screen refreshes”? I just run up a install on my trusty ASUS I7 and it seems at 95%? Hope GraphQL messaging is not eating into performance.
What do you think?
PS: I tested with Notepad I am not at the restaurant to test with a printer…
I have not noticed any slowdown. But just to be sure … what do you mean screen refreshes… also I know you have a lot of complicated automation triggering so it could be hard to tell what is the actual culprit.
GraphQL seems to be VERY efficient and extremely fast. I highly doubt it would effect SambaPOS performance.
EDIT: My dev machine is running SQL Express 2016, PostGRE SQL, Apache, SambaPOS GraphQL Web Server, Message Server and IIS and I have never noticed slowdown in SambaPOS. Its on an Intel I5 and 16 gigs ram with a 200gig ssd.
Screen refreshes = data updates such as press a menu button and it pops into orders above 5% slower.
I could just be going crazy as I have really gone hard with this for about 1 week as we go LIVE Wednesday.
I did not take it the wrong way but I really do not have too much complicated stuff as far as lots of rules. What I do have is lots of macro substitutions of Names i.e. AUS_{SETTING:x}this{SETTING:y}.
Interesting I will keep an eye (red eye) on it - I pretty good at judging issues and I think it just need some sleep.
Thats my dev machine right now.
I am currently running:
Apache - TimeTrex
PostGRE SQL - TimeTrex
SQL Express 2016
SambaPOS Message Server
SambaPOS Message Server GraphQL Web Server
Plex Media Server
IIS - Hosting my GraphQL PMPOS implementation
Few other things like OneDrive, Icloud etc.
SambaPOS is running very smoothly. By smoothly I mean instant response I cant tell a delay at all.
EDIT: I will add that I am currently running Windows 10 insider preview however I think the recent insider update was the final Anniversary update because the insider water mark stamp disappeared.
Gees I thought you were running a restaurant LOL - yea and the 1 million other things you have on your mind! I just trying the upgrade on my main machine should give me an indication if there is an change.
I mean at some stage Emre has to fit the GraphQL messages into the stack somewhere, right?..
Not really sure I understand what you mean by that. GraphQL server runs separately from the client UI it is its own UI. It is also faster and more efficient than the presentation UI.
I have noticed that you seem somwhat worried about GraphQL slowing down SambaPOS, I mean you have mentioned it many times. I really think you wont have to worry about graphql slowing down the Presentation UI.
EDIT: I have several complex GraphQL tests going on right now both using the Server and using internal GraphQL queries with jscript. Not a single time did it ever seem like it slowed down SambaPOS even in the least bit. In fact moving some operations to GraphQL has sped some features up for me.
Don’t worry KD I will get there, might be kicking and screaming (like a spoilt little boy) - but I will get there!
Something that might ease your worries is that GraphQL Server is its own UI it does not rely on SambaPOS application. So it would not impact SambaPOS performance. The GraphQL that is included inside presentation would be of no concern to you if your not using it either. I can tell you though that I am currently testing GraphQL via scripts and using it to execute automation commands and it has had zero performance hits on the rest of SambaPOS.
