Updating menu and toppings for 2 different stores

Post by s_parker3 »

I need to update the menu and coupons at both stores, while keeping the customer databases separate. After updating, should i save the PizzaItem.dat and PizzaExtr.dat to disk, take them to the other store and replace the old files with the new? Or is there another way? Please let me know if i am missing anything before i proceed.

It depends on whether or not you want to copy the menu items before the upgrade or after. The menu items for v4.0 are the 2 files that you mentioned. The v5.0 menu files are PizzToppings.PZ5 and PizzItems.PZ5.

If you want to move the data after the upgrade I would suggest using the SN_UPD (on the CD) utility on both stores before doing the upgrade. This way you can make sure both stores databases are using the same DB Serial Number. Then you can move files from one set to another without it complaining. If you want help doing this call Tech Support at 724-779-6390 and someone will walk you through it.
