Rate Strategy Processor

The Rate Strategy Processor is a utility that when activated, no new restrictions are created, but only the implementation of existing set strategies are used for evaluation. Available when the Rates>Rate Restriction application function is set to Y, from the Utilities>Processors>Rate Strategy Processor menu option. The processor can be started, stopped and data relating to the processor (i.e. restrictions) can be refreshed.

Note: When the Rates>Rate Strategy Logging for Reservation Restrictions application parameter is set to N, then logging will not occur in the RESERVATION_RESTRICTIONS_LOG table when the restriction is initiated by the Rate Strategy Processor.

Rate Strategy Processor Screen

Note: OPERA v5.0.05.00+ has the functionality for managing processors from one schema to another schema (synonym). Users in one schema can access another schema and select Utilities>Processors and Start and Stop the desired processor. Certain other compatible OPERA products, such as OPERA 9, can use the OPERA synonym schema to Start and Stop the processor independent of OPERA v5.0.05.00+.
