Working with the MICROS ADS ARI Retry and MICROS ADS ARI Resend Services
Note: These services will be renamed in the next Service Pack release, but changes to both services have been implemented so that all ADS hosts are supported (previously, this only worked for Expedia).
The MICROS ADS ARI Retry Service is a Windows .NET Service that wakes up at specific intervals. For each message sent to the ADS host (Rate, Availability, Booking Limit, etc.), the host responds with an ACK, NACK, or NOACK immediately. If the message is processed, the ADS host responds with an error or success message.
The Retry Service retries to send messages to the ADS host if the host responds to the original message with certain error codes (4201, 4000, 5000, 6000) or after receiving an ACK from the host with no associated error or success message.
Each time the message is retried, the retry count value increases by 1. After reaching maximum retry count value (defined in the OEDS Configuration Wizard), the message will no longer be processed by the Retry Service and is marked with a status of "error."
The MICROS ADS ARI Resend Service is a Windows .NET Service that wakes up at specific intervals. For each message sent to the ADS host (Rate, Availability, Booking Limit, etc.), the host responds with an ACK, NACK, or NOACK immediately. If the message is processed, the ADS host responds with an error or success message.
The Resend Service reprocesses and resends messages to the ADS host if the host responds to the original message with certain error codes (4201, 4000, 5000, 6000) or after receiving an ACK from Expedia with no associated error or success message.
Each time the message is resent, the resend count value increases by 1. After reaching maximum resend count value (defined in the OEDS Configuration Wizard), the message will no longer be processed by the Resend Service and is marked with a status of "error."
The MICROS ADS ARI Retry and Resend Services are configured from the ADS Configuration screen of the OEDS Configuration Editor.
