Behavior:  NMR is not receiving updates from the store regarding the normal update of SKU and the related quantity on-hand and retail prices
 
Let's examine the current behavior of the computer that is designated as the TransActPOSServer and the Mercury Server activity.  Mercury Server is invoked on a "every few minutes
 schedule to send to NMR the pertinent data to refresh the eCommerce site.
 
View the behavior of the TransActPOSServer computer locally or remotely to see what is going on.

With the "New Media Retailer" present in the above screen, the New Media Retailer instance of the Mercury Server will appear based upon an internal schedule every few minutes.
 
At this location, it is reported that the NMR Ecommerce site is not receiving updates, so let's determine the source of the issue.
 
1) Watching the TransActPOSServer computer, the system should present the additional Mercury Server icon as indicated above every few minutes.
 
Look in the root of TransActPOSServer to view the NMR*.* files for details of the current activity.
 
In this example, it appears that the NewMediaRetailer_log.txt is being updated at the current time but interestingly the NewMediaRetailer_last.txt, NewMediaRetailer_data.dbf, and NewMediaRetailer_data.csv have not updated for some time.  Look in the NewMediaRetailer_log.txt with notepad or natepag++ to read what has been recorded.
 
 

Contents of the NewMediaRetailer_log.txt file

For the most recent posting to the log file go to the bottom of the file.  In this case, the application has recorded and error so a call to TransActPOS Support would be appropriate to address this issue.
