How do I install the Universal Data Transfer (UDT) Program?

This article is a quick guide to help any Decision Logic user download, install, configure, and use Decision Logic’s data transfer program!

Overview

Universal Data Transfer (UDT) is Decision Logic’s program that runs on the same computer as your store’s Point of Sale (POS) system.

Once the program is installed and the StoreID and GUID you are provided are entered, it runs daily to transfer Sales and Labor data from the POS to your Decision Logic website.

The program can then also be opened and used to transfer Sales and Labor data for previous dates with just a few clicks!

 

UDT Requirements for Decision Logic

  • Ensure the store is added in Decision Logic under Maintenance > Stores.

  • Contact helpdesk@decisionlogic.co or call 888-358-7728 to coordinate installs with Decision Logic.

  • The helpdesk will provide unique numeric identifiers for StoreID and GUID for each store needing to complete the installation.

 

Whitelist Firewall

Whitelist the following for both inbound and outbound traffic:

  • 216.58.288.1 through 216.58.228.63

  • mydlweb.com

  • You may need to open Port 443 and 80 prior to making firewall adjustments.

  • Aloha users may also need to allow AlohaBasicLabor.exe to be executed on their server where the UDT will pull from.
