    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    That's unfortunate because my integrated solution operates off of the GND*.DBF files from grind.exe process. It looks like I will have to get a production key at some point to do real testing outside of this production location I have access to.

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    Oh there has to be something else now.. When I run grind, it errors saying "Security key not found". Any way to get grind to work without the key?

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    I've got Aloha Manager up and running with full menus, etc. When I execute FOH batch file iber.exe tries to find the file server for 30 secs then goes to another screen to create file server. Here is my lana config: http://i.imgur.com/tSYv470.png I'm at the last configuration of this I...

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    What about the "Data" folder? Anything in there that I should grab? What is the difference between NewData and Data?

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    OK, I will get a copy of their NewData folder from the client. What is the best way to get the data without having corruption or data missing? Before start of the day? Is there any services I should shut down first? Any documentation out there on how to go about this the correct way? Also...

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    Thanks for the reply! I created a shortcut on the desktop with /remote, see image here. Still has the 5 min lag when logging in. I do have a database from one of my clients but it's just the EOD grind and doesn't include NewData. Do I need the NewData folder or can I restore from just what I...

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    I'm still having no luck. I've went back a few times in checkpoints on my VM and trying a few things but still have an issue running iber and I believe Aloha manager isn't working right either. When I open the Aloha manager, I login but it takes about 5 mins of "unresponsive" before it allows...

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    I missed that section, sorry, I've been bouncing around on different threads trying to get as much info as possible. I got the batch file setup, configured lana, and now it runs iber, but when it's initially open it counts up to find fileserver and then finally it shows "Looking for fileserver"...

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    Got it! Thanks! Edit: I tried to run iber for FOH GUI to login as an employee to open tickets, etc like a normal terminal would operate but I get an error "Local terminal not specified" and it exits. Thanks for all your help.

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    I have installed Aloha and have the manager up and running but I don't know the default user/password for manager. What would it be for version 6.5 or 6.7?

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    Also, where can I get Aloha setup files?

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    Thanks for the informative post! I'll give it a try (might be some time from now, I'm still focusing on other POS platforms but have started doing research for Aloha now) and let you know if I hit any snags with this. From what I understand is you setup a VM for BOH and on the same VM you ran...

    Possible to run Aloha, in demo mode, on virtual machine?

    Basically what the titles says. If so, where to get the setup files and any documentation?

    Read only access for POS Integration (Aloha, Micros, Symphony, POSitouch)

    That is much better. I went to the live site yesterday and ran grind. It ran in about 5 seconds and I saw the files it updated. I took a copy of their backups to look into the DBF files more. Do you know of any documents out there that explain the schema relationships and definitions...

    Read only access for POS Integration (Aloha, Micros, Symphony, POSitouch)

    I only have access to a site that is live.. I will not be touching this file at all as I've already read that it's encrypted and something you don't want to touch. Are you speaking of the trans.log or some other log files? Does Aloha do any auto purging of older log files to avoid running out...

    Read only access for POS Integration (Aloha, Micros, Symphony, POSitouch)

    Thanks for the info on grind. Do you know of any risks involved with processing grind on an faster interval? How long does a typical "grind" take to complete? Thanks for your help!

    Read only access for POS Integration (Aloha, Micros, Symphony, POSitouch)

    This is an interesting way to look at it. But like what PosGuyUS said, you would need an additional system to read the data from the cables, or if there is some virtual COM driver that will create a COM port for the POS to write to and another COM port for my software to read from, it might be...
