Hello POS gurus,
Aloha TS 6.5 or later, windows server 2003, 2008, office XP Pro-
I'm wanting to know if there is any type of software, plugin or utility which can read or translate the data in each trans.log file in the dated subdirectories or in the data folder. The reason I ask is that we are working with a company which provides small, table top devices that interact with customers but the reports we get from them are just a tiny bit off in accuracy. I reasoned that if they could import the trans.log file directly, parse the data and then export the data into their databases, the data would be accurate. However, I know the trans.log file, although textual is in some different format. Can anyone suggest anything?
I found this on tek-tips:
"You can use Crystal to read the data from the summary files generated by the end of day. To read the actual contents of a Trans.Log file requires a special application called "LogUtils."This application is available from your Aloha reseller, it requires a special HASP key to allow its use. With it you can split / merge / view / fix Aloha transaction logs.It is very powerful, and very easy to use, once you get your hands on it."
It didn't have much more than that, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
Thanks!!
Charles
