Had Windows server 2003 installed on BOH and running 11 terminals with 9 or 10 actually up. Server crashed and someone erased or partitioned the drive, wiping everything. Installed Windows 7 Ultimate, and thanks to the coorsman guides here, had things up and running Aloha 6.4.29 and configuration center.
All bugs worked out except EDC.
Online processing works fine, then for some unknown reason, the master starts spooling and storing files on master terminal. EDC still shows online with no errors, but of course no new transactions appear on EDC screen while master is spooling. If I leave EDC running as it is, do normal copy *.SPL to EDC directory on server, rename *.req, they go to *.hld and then process correctly and disappear like normal. Delete spooling from master, and all works well again for anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours before same thing. Seems to happen most during very busy times.
The key point is, all works perfect for a while, then burps or hiccups. Hopefully that rules out many things? Old Linksys router being replace with Sonicwall tz100 late this week.
Only working with Aloha very part time for a few months, and this is first install I have done. Prior tech never backed up anything. Aloha and their resellers not much help, as they only want to do a complete setup, with almost no assistance otherwise.
Thanks,
Ron
