Explanation of LANMNT Database files used by Enabler
Name Description Can file be replaced from upgbase? Further information
When any files are replaced that contain transactions ebing sent from tills to server, backups should always be retained and reports and bank balancing carefully checked to determine if any data loss has occured. In the event of data loss, contact Magenta Retail for advice. It is highly recommended that Magenta Retail is contacted for advice prior to replacing any files.
RRBB Messages being sent upstream by store server. If this is replaced and the original is NOT empty (not 674 bytes), any sales in this file will be lost.
RRBBTT Contains messages destined for server written by downstream tills Yes if the file is empty. The size is 674 bytes when empty. The file <rrbbtt> contains transactions and other messages from the tills. If necessary, the

file could be backed up and replaced, but transactions in the file would be lost. The server

should detect the missing messages and request the till to resend them, and the till uses

local\rrbbttb.dbf to perform the resend. Replacing should not be undertaken lightly and it is

highly advisable that backups are taken before replacing files.

RRBBTTc Contains messages from server destined for the designated till Yes if the file is empty. The size is 674 bytes when empty. Files <rrbbtt>c and <rrbbtt>t contain maintenance being sent to tills. If a file that is not

empty is replaced, a full load from the store server to the affected tills should be done to

ensure the tills are updated with the information lost by replacing the files.

RRBBTTt Temp. holding files for messages from server destined for the designated till - before getting placed into final RRBBTTc file for the till to read. Yes if the file is empty. The size is 674 bytes when empty. same as above
RRBBback Backup of Nibbler messages processed and sent upstream by the store server If this file is replaced, nibbler messages cannot be re-sent upstream when nibble detects missing messages and requests a resend.
Comflg Sentinel table used by the nibblers on server/tills to communicate in conjunction with their named pipes Can safely be replaced with an empty from Magenta and records for each till will be regenerated. ALL nibblers in the branch must be shutdown before replacing.
Poslmnt Template file used in creating dynamic nibbler message files. Eg RRBBTT.dbf replace from upgbase
