ASSD - Ho(s)tel Management Software PMS 3

Central system copies of all systems can automatically be created from the incremental backups with the help of "central.exe". For this, please create a system copy (whole ASSD folder) on the central server and then copy the directories "data_var" and "data_fix" to "back_var" and "back_fix". These directories always contain the original system versions and are overwritten i.e. updated by the current hostel data daily. You may place all Youth Hostels in folders below one major ASSD folder and create short cuts for all users. Now, please copy the file "central.exe" into the ASSD main directory. Start "central.exe" to test it. This file is opened in order to update the system regularly.

If it is not the original system, the original data (back) is automatically copied into the database (data). With this option, a head office can, e.g., carry out central tests which are then revised again in the course of the next update. Users starting the ASSD copy will see a message whether the import was successful. The "Log" function is disabled in the system copy. This has to be taken into account when using this system as a backup in case of an emergency. The program "central.exe" uses the same Proxy settings as the original system (if necessary, a change is possible: copy back to data, set "g_audit = .F." via command, make your changes and copy "data" to "back"). Users of the system copy can see the status information of the latest update in the background of the main window.

The program must not be opened while "central.exe" is running!

Put "central.exe" into the planned Windows tasks. While "central.exe" is running nobody should use the system, otherwise the program is not able to copy the updated files from the "back" folders into the "data" folders (but this will be done the next time). File updates such as reports and letters are not imported automatically into the central systems.
