Troubleshooting

No Receiver Registered

  1. In Windows, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Uncorked Analytics\
  2. Edit the UncorkedAnalytics.Synchronization.Client.exe.config file
  3. Make sure UncorkedAnalyticsHub value is the correct full URL for the customer's back office
  4. Make sure the AuthToken value matches the register sync token provided by RITE
  5. Note: If ANY changes are made to this file, you MUST restart the Uncorked Analytics service using the Windows Services.msc application
    1. You can also restart the service via Command Line using the following commands:
    2. net stop UncorkedSyncService
    3. net start UncorkedSyncService



Reset QoH to Zero doesn't create or finalize an inventory count


  1. Click Tools -> Inventory Counting
  2. Click on Create New Inventory Count
  3. Create a reference number, select a location and set the inventory count type to all products and click save
  4. Click on Finalize Inventory



If the connection between CR and RMS fails:


  1. Browse to https://instancename.cloudretailer.com/TestWebSockets
  2. Use the following connection string:  data source=.; Initial Catalog={DBNAME}; User ID=sa;Password={password} (Replace DBName and Password with the relevant DB information removing the {})
  3. In the Set Command Text here and click Run Command, put in Select top 10 * from Item and click Run Command. If successful, you will get a JSON listing of 10 entries in the Item table that is currently on the RMS server.
  4. If this does not work there will be an error message detailing what is wrong. Double-check your database name and password. You might have to change your data source to the ip address or name of the server.


If taxes fail to import


  1. Check RMS to confirm that none of the tax codes are the same as what is currently in Cloud Retailer (by default they are Sales Tax, Liquor Tax and No Tax)
    1. If ANY SINGLE tax code matches what is in Cloud Retailer the import will fail. This can be corrected one of two ways:
      • You can change the tax codes in Cloud Retailer so that they no longer match what is in RMS and re-run the Sales Tax import process
      • You can set the taxes correctly in Cloud Retailer to match the tax rate for the customer and make sure that ALL tax codes match what is in RMS. If ANY SINGLE ONE does not then the items that are assigned to that tax will be imported incorrectly
