Step 7 - Prepare and Install the First POS Device

To create an offline database the following steps are needed:

1. In Cloud Master, create a Distribution Location for each offline POS or offline POS Server.
   1. For example, name DEVICExxx.

2. Make sure your POS Master includes the data needed for your POSs.

3. Run PS C:\LS Retail\Hybrid Cloud Components> & .\NewDatabasePackage.ps1 -Import.

   1. This will create a backup of your POS Master database and create an Update Service package from it, to use in your POS installation.
   2. The package name is yourprefix-database.

4. Now you can install a POS instance:

   1. In the previous section, you created a package called bundle/yourprefix-pos, this package contains or has dependencies to a selection of other packages of, which the POS consists, such as BC web client, BC apps, LS Central app and your database package (yourprefixdatabase). So, in order to install the POS, you will install this package.
   2. You can either create an installer in the Server Management and select the bundle/yourprefix-pos or use PowerShell:

      PS C:\> Import-Module GoCurrent

      PS C:\> Install-GocPackage -Id 'bundle/yourprefix-pos' -InstanceName 'POS'

5. Run the installer on the Offline POS or POS server.

6. Run job HCC_UPDATE_TO_POS to update the offline POS or POS Server as needed.

   • Put this job on the scheduler to run as needed.
