      About

      • Dacom runs on an Informix Database on top of Unix
      • To share bonus points, we must call Stored Procedures are in that Informix database
        • This means that the Windows computer running Bepoz (at least CALink) must have both network access to the Unix and also the Informix client access drivers loaded and configured
        • There is a separate document supplied from Aristocrat that defines what needs to be set up on the Windows Client
          • This file is called: ODBCclient_ins.doc
      • The above document MUST be followed carefully and fully
      • There are configurations required on both the Dacom Host and Client-side
      • Once the above document is followed, you will have a Windows Client computer that has an ODBC configured DSN connection that connects successfully to the Dacom Informix host

      Prerequisites

      • For an operator to be able to set up the interface with Bally, the following privileges must be enabled 
      • Main Tab (General Settings) - Venue Maintenance

      • On Startup, CALink must connect to the MySQL Database
        • It will use the System DSN as setup above
      • When CALink is starting, it will attempt to connect to MySQL
        • This timeout is 30 seconds
        • If CALink cannot connect, the screen will not appear for that time
        • When it either connects or times out, the connection status on the CALink screen will show whether it could connect or not
        • Any error message on connecting will be logged in the CALink.txt log file in the BEpoz Shared Data directory
        • If there are any problems, the first place to check is the MySQL Client access
