9. Look-up and updating of the GLU/PBLU file
In the IRC system, the following two types of GLU/PBLU file allocation system are available: a
centralized system and an individual system.
(1) Centralized GLU/PBLU file system
In this system, the GLU/PBLU file exists only in the master. All satellites in the IRC system can
access the GLU/PBLU file in the master for registration.
The GLU/PBLU file is accessed by satellites for the following purposes:
• New order or reorder
• Payment entry or temporary finalization
• Bill printing
• Slip printing
• Bill transfer/bill totalizing
• Bill separating
There are two types of GLU/PBLU data transmission.
1) The GLU/PBLU data is transmitted from the master to a satellite for GLU/PBLU file look
up (in case of a new order/reorder). During the GLU/PBLU registration at a satellite, the
GLU/PBLU reserve counter* is retained at the master.
* The reserve counter reserves some records of GLU/PBLU files to prevent a “LACKING MEMORY” error in
finalization.
2) The GLU/PBLU data is transmitted from a satellite to the master upon finalization of a
transaction (in case of payment entry or temporary finalization).
The data transmitted from the satellite is received in the temporary GLU/PBLU data
receiving file of the master and then updated in the master GLU/PBLU file. In this case,
the GLU/PBLU reserve counter is cleared at the master.
(2) Individual GLU/PBLU file system
In this system, the master and satellites have their own GLU/PBLU files for look up and
registration. Therefore, no inline communications are initiated regarding GLU/PBLU data.
