Manager in Off-line mode

Jan 19, 2007 4 Replies

I think it would be VERY helpful if manager were accessible in off-line mode. I know many people use off-line mode for sales while traveling. That's great for salespeople but does nothing for buyers. When we go to buying shows it would be really nice to have the ability to generate reports at the show. I know aworkaround for this but it is really a pita to have to reconfigure it back and forth.

I think you are something near to replication technology in SQL Server, where Manager machine needs MSDE edition. By the way I have implemented this in my company and have 4 different store database sync. to my Head Quarter database. But you really need the one liecense of MRMS for the manager can you accomodate this.

The replication is working excellently in my senario here where I can track sales and other things.

Dear Jeff,

I agree with you. but the problem and solution which I present also have some mean. I said that if you are DBA and good in SQL Server Replication service no need to make copy of database everytime make a distributor, subscriber and so on.

Only you need one lane license for your RMS as you might be running off line. the replication technology is really excellent and I think we should see its implementation.

"Jeff @ Check Po> AL,

nothing to edit and there is no previous sales info in the offline database other than what that person has sold since disconnecting from the main database.

Reports or SQL 2005 with Reporting outside of the RMS program.

offline mode, use a copy of the main database instead.

wireless connection via your cell phone service.
