On old Aloha it was easy to fix a currupt trans.log
"\bootdrv\aloha\BIN\GRIND.EXE /FIXLOG TRANS.LOG"

How about in the newer aloha

I'm using 12.3.17 at sites and this still works. What problem are you experiencing with it?
 
It did not fix the log. It was still currupt. Had to wipe at 8:45 pm wiping a days worth of sales. I still have the log but unable to grind it.

I've definitely had logs that weren't fixable - in all versions of 6.xx and 12.xx. Did it create a fixed log at all?
 
Fixlog won't fix everything. For those logs they need to be manually edited with the Log Viewer, it can sometimes be a long process, but all logs can be fixed with this tool and enough time.
 
Is the log viewer program available to anyone? I would really like a copy but was told by my NCR Local rep that he did not think it was for sale.
 
I was always told by my dealer that Log Viewer requires a special key from Aloha to operate. I would like to get my hands on a copy but without the key it would be useless.
 
Log viewer only works with a hasp key that registers to their network hasp manager, therefore even with the key, you would need to be on their internal network for it to work.

AlohaRoss, I may be able to repair the log for you using my own utility.
