Troubleshooting Manager Console Errors

Introduction:

Users of Manager Console software may encounter challenges when launching or using the application. This article provides solutions for common errors you may face while using Manager Console.

'Version Mismatch' Error Message:

If you see a 'Version Mismatch' error when opening Manager Console, it means there's a difference between the software version on your device and the server (typically terminal 1). This occurs when your device has a different onePOS software version compared to the server (e.g., server version 22.4.5 vs. device version 22.4.3).

Resolution Steps:
To fix the 'Version Mismatch' issue:
  1. Open the onePOS launcher.
  2. Click 'relaunch' to update to the correct software version from the server.


'Missing Database' Error in Manager Console

Encountering a 'Missing Database' error while launching Manager Console indicates a communication issue between the console and the server. This error can occur if:

  1. Device Connectivity Issues:

    • Ensure your device hosting Manager Console is connected to the internet via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
    • Verify that your device is connected to the correct network, typically the business network (e.g., terminal 1), to avoid issues arising from multiple network setups.
  2. Server Connectivity Issues:

    • Check if the server (usually terminal 1) is powered on and connected to the internet.
    • Ensure the Ethernet cable connecting the server is securely plugged in.

If the issue persists after checking these points, contact onePOS support for further assistance.

At times, users may notice Manager Console freezing during batch execution or when saving changes. This freeze often indicates the console is processing operations.
