Multi-site retail IT support fails at the same point every time: the technician on the phone doesn't know which server model is running at which store, and nobody has that list in one place.
The Site as the Unit of Record
Each record represents a physical location — identified by CECO (cost center code) and DENOMINACION (store name). Address, city, province, phone, and fax complete the site identity. When an issue is reported, the technician pulls the record by CECO and has the full infrastructure picture before touching a keyboard.
CAJAS records the cash register IP addresses at the site. In a retail environment where POS systems run on dedicated network segments, knowing the IP range for the registers is the first diagnostic step for any transaction processing failure.
Server and UPS Documentation
SERVIDOR TIPO, SERVIDOR SISTEMA, and SERVIDOR MEMORIA capture the three fields that determine what a server can and can't do: hardware model, operating system, and RAM. These don't change often, but when they do — after an upgrade or replacement — the registry needs to reflect the current state or it becomes actively misleading.
The SAI (UPS) fields — SAI MARCA, SAI MODELO, and SAI CONMUTADOR AUTO — document the power protection layer. UPS model determines battery capacity and runtime. The auto-transfer switch field indicates whether the site can maintain operations during a power event without manual intervention. For a retail location that can't process card payments during an outage, this distinction is the difference between a brief disruption and a closed store.
Managing Network Changes
CECO ACTIVO tracks whether a location is currently operational — flagging closed, relocated, or temporarily suspended sites. NUEVO CECO and NUEVA FIRMA handle the administrative record when a store undergoes a rebranding or organizational restructure, maintaining continuity between the old identifier and the new one without losing the infrastructure history.
FIRMA (brand/banner) identifies which commercial brand operates at the location — relevant in retail groups that run multiple store concepts under one IT infrastructure team.
