Reindexing All Other POS Files

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

It takes a few minutes to reindex all other POS files. For more information on when and why you should reindex your files, see the article Information About Reindexing. The system reindexes the following files:

  • Till Setup Information
  • Credit Card Table
  • Checkpoint
  • Statistics Descriptions
  • Center Control File
  • Bays and Tills Setup
  • Closing Processes List
  • Coupon/Discount File
  • ZIP Code Table
  • Marketing Postcard Layout
  • Statistics Report Controls
  • Calendar
  • Vehicle History Changes
  • Employee Master File
  • Employee Commissions
  • Employee Productivity
  • Fleet Customers
If any terminals are logged in during the reindexing, this process can cause unrecoverable damage to your system. Never reindex two different options at the same time. This can corrupt your files. You must log out all screens and alt-users except the one doing the reindex.

Use the following steps to reindex all other POS files:

  1. On the Main Menu, select Lubrication Menu.
  2. Select Lubrication Utility Menu (8).
  3. Select Reindex all Other POS Files (3) to receive the following prompt: You must log out all screens except the one doing the reindex. Files will not properly reindex if accessed by multiple users. Are all other users logged out (YES/NO)?
  4. Do one of the following:
  • Make sure that all users are logged out. Type Yes and press [Enter] to start the reindexing process. You return to the Lubrication Utility Menu when the reindexing is complete.
  • Type No to return to the menus.
