Modify the Central Client settings

This topic describes how to modify the Central Client settings, such as the connection to the SQL Server and store database, the Store Input Gateway, the Central Input Gateway, and more.

Refer to Use the Consistency Checker for information about how to use the options on the Consistency Checker tab.

1. Double-click the Central Client icon on the desktop.

2. Click Settings.

3. On the Database Connection tab, modify the Store SQL Server Instance, Database Name, User ID, and Password as required.

If you change the database, select Check this option to recreate config file. Central Client reads the config file for store database information. The config file is usually found under C:\ProgramData\RetailHero\RMH Central Flash Client.

1. On the Client Services tab, modify the RMH Store [number] Input Gateway host name and port as required. The RMH Store [number] Input Gateway URL is automatically set after a successful connection to Central Server. To change it:

   1. Select Check this option to change this URL and enter the host name and port for the computer where Central Client is installed.

   2. Click Test Address to verify the address.

   3. Click Save. The host name and port are saved to the Store Manager database. The Flash Bridge app will use this host name and port to send data packages/jobs to the Central Client to synchronize to Central Server and Central Manager.

Enter a unique port number for each service.

1. On the Server Connection tab:

• Check the RMH Central Input Gateway host name and port.

• (Optional) Enter the Store Key that you are using to authenticate the store to Central Manager.

If you choose to use Store Key for store authentication, you must first add the Store Key in Central Manager and then restart the Central Server services. Refer to Add the store to Central Manager for more information. After you have confirmed that the Central Server services are running, you must add the Store Key in Central Client (this procedure) and restart Central Client services.

1. On the Setting Mode tab, modify the following as required:

• Log init sync result: Select to log the results of the initial synchronization between the store's database and the Central database.

• Delete the logs after: Records are only kept in the log for the number of days indicated. After that, records are deleted from the log. The default number of days to keep records in the log is 7 days. The minimum number of days is 7 and the maximum is 90.

• Retry attempts before declaring failure: The maximum number of attempts that will be made to process a job before the system identifies a job as failed.

• Retry interval between each attempt: The time between retry attempts.

• Delete failed jobs after failure: Failed jobs are only kept for the number of days indicated. After that, failed jobs are deleted.

1. Click Save.
