Since WebPOS replaced any previous POS this is what I'm interested in bringing up. My observation is that when ofbiz starts and has the demo data that there are three POS terminals listed when logging in to the WebPOS. There was no special command to start any standalone POS, so either the defined terminals (WebPOS concept, not computer terminal) are entirely defined by data, or else the data is responsible for causing launch of WebPOS terminals based on that data. Somehow someone created demo data and defined three POS terminals. How was this done? I know it isn't via the WebPOS login itself, as you cannot log in to WebPOS unless terminals already exist. I did not see any other admin type interface to add a POS to the WebPOS. I am wondering if the only way to do this is to directly manipulate the data? If old data from a prior version was imported for part of the current 16.11.01 demo data, then perhaps the interface was completely lost and nobody noticed because the demo data hid the missing method for creating a POS. Does anyone know if the demo data POS definitions were imported from a prior version of demo data?

In particular I'm thinking the command for starting a standalone POS might help as this would maybe create a terminal...and the current WebPOS can't be logged in to without a terminal. The command listed here does not exist in 16.11.01 (gradlew) ofbiz:> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=65866466#ApacheOFBizTechnicalProductionSetupGuide-POSSetupProcess> > That command (with jar file location being corrected) is:> java -jar ./build/libs/ofbiz.jar --posActually the POS has been pushed to Attic just before creating the R16 branch, where Gradle was 1st put in. That's why the doc also stop with Ant. The WebPos is not concerned and is something different.> Does anyone here know if WebPOS terminals are not actually something added as data and instead reflect actually running POS terminals?Yes something like that indeed, but it's the notion of POS terminal, not Linux Terminal. A POS terminal is where the client pay. I can't say more about this, and it's maybe wrong.> If so, how does one start a terminal under gradlew?I guess you need to have an OFBiz instance running where the client pay. I hope someone will confirm, I was the POS maintainer, but don't know well the WebPos.

Does anyone know if this was moved somewhere and is still available?Yes, while changing the content of the https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide page it to reflect the Gradle move from Ant, I put a link to the previous version in the top of the page. So it was easy to change the faulty link. It's now done, HTH>>>> Basically, when starting with seed and no demo data, I'm looking for a way to log in to the WebPOS (I've already added the admin user and some other details). The problem is that WebPOS can't log in without picking a terminal ("Choose Terminal" is empty), but there are no terminals to choose, so I was hoping the above document would mention how to add a terminal. If that document is not available, perhaps someone could mention which menu or web page to use for adding terminals when there are none to start with.> > Thanks!>I don't know well the webPOS, I hope someone else will be able to help you> Jacques>>
