7. 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.

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.

GLU/PBLU-file-related inline communications are made for the following purposes:

• New order or reorder

• Payment entry or temporary finalization

• Bill printing

• Bill transfer/bill totalizing

• Bill separate

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). In this case, 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 for finalization of a

transaction (in case of payment entry or temporary finalization).

The data transmitted from the satellite is once saved in the GLU/PBLU data receiving file

and then in the GLU/PBLU file. In this case, the GLU/PBLU reserve counter is cleared at the

master.

If a satellite looks up the GLU/PBLU file in the master or asks the master to update the file,

the backup master performs the same process as the master.

In this system, the master and satellites have their own GLU/PBLU files and look up them for

registration. Therefore, no inline communications are made regarding GLU/PBLU data.
