One SOMgr with Four POSs

I have a LAN installation where four seperate stores are each operating SOpts (they want items seperate from each other and managed by each Store Manager). However the CFO(also on LAN) needs to be able to access each store from her desktop. We know how to change Admin's DB but are looking for a more elegant solution. Like bat file called from shortcut before SOMgr - that does the switch???

I also have another Client that runs a lot of reports basied on DB's state as of last night of EOM.bck DB. The above solution may also work them!

NcS,

Change to the store's database in SO Admin.

Export the registry key and save it to your desktop.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Retail Management System\Store Operations\Server\Database

Do it again for each store.

Select the Store's reg key before entering Manager

WARNING!!

They can screw this up quickly if they are not paying attention to what store they are looking at!!

Thanks jeff for the elegant solution. Two questions.

1) Can 'REG file' and SOMgr.exe be placed into a bat/winbat file so it is a 1-clk step? 2) If SOMgr is already running using DBa (on taskbar) and the user clicks SOMgr useing DBb, will it create a problem? Thanks again

The export does some weird stuff to a couple of keys - basically, it word wraps them...

Open the .reg file in notepad Format/Wordwrap Format/Wordwrap AGAIN Yes, I really mean turn it on then immediately turn it off... File/Save

Try merging again...
