SYSPRO 8 Point of Sale Utility Service

This service is installed on client machines and is used for device-based printing, as well as integration to external devices (e.g. signature pads and card payment integration pads).

Its purpose is to provide the client machine's details (i.e., IP address and computer name) to SYSPRO Point of Sale during transaction processing.

This service is used by:

• SYSPRO Point of Sale

• The default location for this service is:

  Program Files (x86) > SYSPRO > SYSPRO 8 Point of Sale Utility Service

• This service is only installed on client machines (at each SYSPRO Point of Sale branch) that run SYSPRO Point of Sale on the Microsoft Silverlight platform.

• You install this service using the SYSPRO Point of Sale autorun, available to download from the SYSPRO Installer Application.

  During the installation you will be required to configure settings for the service.

• If you previously installed SYSPRO Point of Sale without specifying the SYSPRO 8 Point of Sale Utility Service port number, then (once you have installed this service) you must manually configure the <SysproPosClientSideServiceUrl> entry within the SystemConfig.xml file of SYSPRO Point of Sale.

  For example:

  If you are using port number 30210:

  <SysproPosClientSideServiceUrl>http://localhost:30210</SysproPosClientSideServiceUrl>

  The SYSPRO 8 Point of Sale Utility Service runs on the client machine and Microsoft Silverlight sends requests to the client machine's Utility service from the client machine. Therefore, the <SysproPosClientSideServiceUrl> needs to point to a “localhost” address to ensure that its local to each client machine running the SYSPRO 8 Point of Sale Utility Service.
