Deploying an Edge Server
Deploying an Edge Server
The Edge Server hosts the POS application and serves it to thin clients over the LAN. The process is similar to deploying a Fixed POS.
Step 1 -- Register in EM
Create the device in EM > Device Maintenance with DEVICE_TYPE=PDP_SERVER / Mobile Server. Use the same naming convention: PDP1@YOURLOCATION.enactor.
Step 2 -- Configure the .ini File
| Field | What to Set |
|---|---|
DEVICE_ID | PDP1@YOURLOCATION.enactor |
LOCATION_ID | Must match a location in Estate Manager |
DATABASE_SCHEMA | enactorpdp (not enactorpos -- the Edge Server has its own DB) |
SERVER_EMAPP_URL_BASE | http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:39830/ |
SERVER_EMPROC_URL_BASE | http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:39832/ |
SERVER_EMWS_URL_BASE | http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:39833/ |
BACK_OFFICE_APP_HOST | YOUR_SERVER_IP |
BACK_OFFICE_APP_PORT | 39848 |
SERVER_BOAPP_URL_BASE | http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:39848/ |
INVENTORY_MANAGER_APP_HOST | YOUR_SERVER_IP |
INVENTORY_MANAGER_APP_PORT | 39842 |
DEVICE_TYPE | PDP_SERVER |
PROCESS_SET | HTMLPos |
MODULE_CRM / MODULE_INVENTORY / MODULE_ORDER | true |
Step 3 -- Run the Installer
Same as Fixed POS -- place the installer and the .ini file in the same folder and run it.
The Edge Server uses its own database schema (enactorpdp), separate from the POS database.
