Aloha GCHKINFO.DBF Empty? 1

[smamark]

It's my understanding that the gchkinfo.dbf file is supposed to contain basic check information, but it appears to be empty in all of our locations. Is this file no longer supported/used, or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance...

All of the useful sales information files are GND*.DBF files.

Thanks for the reply coorsman. I guess I could have been more clear. I'm actually looking for the information that I thought was supposed to be in the gchkinfo.dbf file...tab name or table #, and the employee id for the server/employee who opened the check. I don't see that in any of the other gnd*.dbf files.

Thanks...

I checked one of my sites, there is information in them, What version are you on?

I'm running different versions across 12 sites...versions 6.1.16 to 6.5.34. None of them have anything in the gchkinfo.dbf file. I've been digging for a setting somewhere, or an aloha.ini trigger, but have come up empty so far.

Thanks...

The site I checked was a cashier environment. I checked with another site, the DATA folder at another site for today 1/11 and had txn's for DOB 1/9. ??

The first question I would ask is 'what is the DOB for the system?'. There could be an issue there. Other than that, I wouldn't know. I have a contact at a different company, and he says all of his locations have data in the gchkinfo.dbf files, and it is for the correct dates.

I found information:

Here is the documentation you need to get it to work.

Well after looking at the doc a little I'm not really sure if it's what you are looking for. I searched the gchkinfo and found this.
