For a scenario where Head Office is set up in SaaS with offline POSs where the transaction tables have been extended, there is the alternative for using POS web services to send transactions using web replication as a background session.
This scenario requires setting up special settings to use this functionality. The settings are located on the POS Functionality Profile Card, in the Web Services Settings FastTab.
To activate this option, change the following in the Web Services Settings FastTab:
- Enable the Use Background Session option. Enabling is mandatory to use this type of Web Replication.
- Enable the Use Web Replication option.
The new Use Web Replication flag replaces the normal SendTransaction web request, but depends on the same fundamental setup, such as whether this service is active, where to connect to, and so on.
