Configuring the PMP server

The Product Maintenance Processor server is an additional server to gain performance improvement depending on the data volume being processed.

The PMP server uses the same installation steps as the Application Server. To install the PMP server, refer to the following sections:

1. Application Server Software Prerequisites
2. Installing the NCR DSR Enterprise Application Server
3. Starting the NCR Retail Services

The PMP server generates compressed data and working files. Retailers can then specify the output directory where these files and data are saved.

This task uses the following file.

To configure the PMP server, follow these steps:

1. Go to the following directory: %PROGRAMDATA%\NCR\RetailOne\Enterprise
2. Create a folder called Extract. The following directory should exist:

   %PROGRAMDATA%\NCR\RetailOne\Enterprise\Extract

3. Open the Ncr.Retail.Services.WindowsServiceHost.exe.config file.
4. Locate the following line:

   <add key="ProductMaintenanceProcessor.DataLoadFolder" value="C:\Temp\Extract"></add>

5. Change the value to the created directory with the Extract folder.
   Example

   <add key="ProductMaintenanceProcessor.DataLoadFolder" value="\\server01\C$\ProgramData\NCR\RetailOne\Enterprise\Extract"></add>

   Note

   Set the value to the network share path for the directory created. The configured endpoint should be accessible by the DSR Enterprise Web Server. If the PMP server is accessed through a remote connection, the Ncr.Retail.Services.MaintenanceProcessors service should have permission to access the server.

6. Locate the following line:

   <add key="ProductMaintenanceProcessor.DataLoadFTPPath" value="Extract"></add>

7. Ensure that the value for the ProductMaintenanceProcessor.DataLoadFTPPath is the created Extract folder.
   Note

   The value for ProductMaintenanceProcessor.DataLoadFTPPath can be blank. The value is sent in the message to the store and used for the API request.

8. Save the changes.
