Terminal_old

 

The terminal can be started via the terminal mode. This requires a windows link called "Beas Terminal". See license concept and installation.

hmtoggle_plus1Installation

The installation of SAP Business One DI-API 32 Bit and Beas Standard is necessary.

 

A windows - link will be inserted on the station. The current "Beas" – link can be copied and can be renamed to "beas terminal" for this.

At "Target" will be inserted after ".....\beas.exe" other parameters.

 

Terminal: ID for "Start in terminal mode"

User: The user ID (not user name!), e.g. Terminal1

PW: Password of the user

Database: name of the data base (according to SQL-server)

 

Important: Blanks are not allowed at "user" and "pw". Blanks have to be replaced with "³", e.g. my³database.

hmtoggle_plus1License concept and installation

SAP License rule:

For using the functions from Beas Terminal, you need a  SAP Business One - indirect license.

Please see actual License rules of SAP Business One.

 

SAP B1 License  for Terminal

For every station you need a separate SAP B1 User, e.c. Terminal1, Terminal2 and so on

For this user you must define the following SAP Authorizations:

Licence_Beas_highlight

 

SAP B1 Authorizations

Administration - System initialization > Authorization > General Authorizations

General > Disable DI API PERMISSION CHECK on "Full authorization".

Authorizations_General_Disable DI-API

 

Beas License

Various Beas licenses are required depending on the used apps. These will be assigned to stations automatically.

See license management

You must define the access in the Access Group

Beas supports different Terminal types:

 

Beas Desktop Terminal

Beas WebApps 2.1

Beas WebApps 1.0 (only for compatibility)

 

All use the same license pool with the same concept:

 

In Terminal Functions > Edit Group > Choose apps you can see the  License needed for the apps.

 

Concurrence of users

IMPORTANT: User login blocks all licenses that are assigned to the user! These licenses are released for use again once the user logs out.

Licenses can be reserved by user, machine or Beas operators.

See License Administration (Beas)  

Article on License administration questions and answers

 

Example:  A company has 5 Terminal licenses. Five users are using the 5 licenses each - therefore, the number of available licenses is 0.

License_Terminal_concurrence_OK

 

 

Apps that are not available for the user in lack of license are grayed out (disabled).

Auth_Groups_Explain_2021_02

 

NOTE: Upon login all available licenses related to the authorization groups will be set as "In Use".

 

Desktop Terminal

If you start the Desktop Terminal, you do not need any license.

If you login in Desktop Terminal, the system tries to use needed licenses. If available, the license will be reserved. If not, the app needing the license is grayed out. If you hover the mouse over or click on the button, you can see the info that the license is not available.

License_Admin_Beas_202103_vC

 

WEB APP

In WEB APP the license will be reserved in the moment of Login.

Note: The user must choose "Logout", otherwise other users cannot use the license up to 10 Minutes.

If license is not available, the system displays the APP in gray.

license_app_gray

 

 

Note:

Don't try to manipulate the system. If you delete the license information, the back-end will not work correctly.

ATTENTION: If you close WebApps without logging out, the system keeps the license in use for several minutes. After that the system automatically releases the license.

 

 

 

hmtoggle_plus1Time Synchronisation

The terminal does use the server time, not the time of the client. Time zone settings of Windows System - Time zone is taken into account.

For permission reasons Beas does not synchronize with the time of the operating system. It may be that on the client a time is displayed which is different from the terminal program.

The terminal program synchronizes with the server in 30 minute intervals. This way, a correct time is always guaranteed, as long as the time on the SQL server is set correctly.

 

Logon:

Enter card number to logon. All released apps are displayed. After 20 seconds of idle time the user is logged off automatically. This timeout can be set up.

At logon it is checked, which applications are to be used. (set up in Station settings). If a person logs on, it is checked, whether a satin specific menu was set up. If there is none, the menu is used, set up in Personnel master.

 

Note:

As long no Authorization group was created, Standard-Apps are displayed. After one authorization group was created, you need to store on in Personnel master of an employee, otherwise he will not have access to the Terminal

In station settings, you can set up: Control (mouse/keyboard), Image (Logo), preview screen, menu.

 

Right-click menu:

Function

Meaning

Cancel

Terminal is closed. If started in terminal mode, the user needs to enter his card number before, to prevent a logoff by chance.

Note:

If the terminal is not started in terminal mode and another user logs on there than in the application, then all postings and material movements outside the terminal screen are connected to the user who logged on the terminal.

This situation continues until a logoff in terminal screen.

Logoff
