For other machine users “AosService” can be located at other location so you will look for it and Follow steps same as above. 3. Don’t forget To start Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service again. 4.

Let’s say you need to create a new store with multiple registers on CPOS.   It is now possible to have a retail store with multiple registers each running CPOS and each having their own dedicated hardware.   For example: A store with two registers both running CPOS and both having their own receipt printer, scanner, etc. . Here comes the concept of a shared hardware station for CPOS, It may seem impractical to have multiple registers sharing the same scanner, pin pad, etc but it is actually possible.   You’ll need to install a hardware station per CPOS and then you should be good to go.   Sharing hardware can be handy in scenarios with limited space or lesser sales persons moving around taking the sales and so on and it’s valid for CPOS.   Note: However, for MPOS you need a dedicated hardware.   Please notice that you can’t have multiple hardware stations installed on the same machine. Please do correct me anyone if that has changed 🙂 This can be done absolutely and is perfectly possible. Just deploy a Hardware station on each device and it will work as discussed in the example above.

Many of the time while development we have problems due to IIS services which are necessary while debugging in D365 Finance and Operations, many of the time problems can be just resolved by restarting IIS services on one box machine. IIS services can be restarted using two methods one is from Visual studio itself and the other is from Command prompt. Let’s see both the methods one by one: 1.Restart IIS services by Visual Studio:- this is a quite easy method only needs that your visual studio should be opened with administrator permissions.

“Run Jobs” – as the name suggests is a process between Retail Channels and Retail essentials through which we transfer data between channels and database. Please Note: Jobs Run at a specified time which may be different for every Retail Scheduler. Be aware of what the time is set for jobs to run automatically.  Running jobs at a specific time requires setting to be done so that we can schedule a specific job to run at specific time. It can be easily done manually. You’ll have to follow the below steps: Step 1: Go to distribution schedule or Channel database in Retail Dynamics 365. If the job doesn’t run from distribution schedule run it through channel database. Step 2: Go to download sessions and make sure your Job is available or in applied state. If it is in available state, go to “Batch Jobs“. Step 3: Now you will have to find the same batch job that you were searching and need to run it at a specified time. Step 4: Here, since the Job is in waiting state, you need to change it’s scheduled date and time to current time. This change must be according to the time at which you want your job needs to be run. The specified time will make your job run immediately.   Step 5: You can check if Job is being applied in “Download sessions” whenever required. Step 6: You can also change how often the job should run from going to Recurrence. Step 7: Only things highlighted in Red boxes should be checked. Hope this helps!!! Thank you! Please feel free to post any doubts you have.

Web applications are generalized for multiple platforms and not installed locally but made available over the Internet through a browser. Xamarin is a cross-platform implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and Common Language Specifications The element that used to develop an application for android C# language Mono .NET Framework Compiler Following are the steps to follow in order to configure set up the POS Hybrid App Install Xamarin Xamarin provides a common development experience for creating cross-platform mobile applications. Xamarin facilitates the development of Android and iOS applications by providing the Xamarin.iOS and Mono. Android libraries. These libraries are built on top of the Mono .NET framework and bridge the gap between the application and the platform-specific APIs. Open the visual studio installer you will see the below screen. Make sure the below component are selected 2. Xamarin Configuration Xamarin.Android uses the Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Android SDK to build apps. During installation, the Visual Studio installer places these tools in their default locations and configures the development environment with the appropriate path configuration. You can view and change these locations by clicking Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings. 3. Android SDK Manager Visual studio include SDK manager that lets you download android SDK Uncheck everything.

To make Android SDK Emulator run without lagging, we will need to install Intel HAXM. However, Intel HAXM cannot work together with Hyper-V. So, we need to turn OFF Hyper-V in the machine Go to control panel turn windows feature on and off and uncheck hyper v Make sure Virtualization Technology settings are Enable in BIOS settings. Once we install HAXM we can proceed to an android emulator which will open the Android virtual device manager dialog box. The Android Emulator can be run in a variety of configurations to simulate different devices. Each configuration is called a virtual device. When you deploy and test your app on the emulator, you select a pre-configured or custom virtual device that simulates a physical Android device. 6. SDK Configuration Setup In the Retail SDK folder, open SampleExtensions\HybridApp\Android\solution. Build and deploy using the emulator and verify that everything appears as it should. 7. Export the android app Specify the Application Icon Version the Application – An integer value (used internally by Android and the application) that represents the version of the application. Most applications start out with this value set to 1, and then it is incremented with each build. Version Name – A string that is used only for communicating information to the user about the version of the application these values can be set in the Android Manifest section of project Properties, as shown in the following screenshot 8. Shrink the APK Xamarin.Android APKs can be made smaller through a combination of the Xamarin. Android linker, which removes unnecessary managed code, and the ProGuard tool from the Android SDK, which removes unused Java bytecode. 9. Archive for Publishing To begin the publishing process, right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select the Archive. When we select Ad hoc visual studio will open the signing dialog box app required to sign with a signing key or if we have already signed we can use import key option.
