Statistics

This screen displays all messages that have been generated from the ORS or OPERA PMS systems and their current status of being processed. The Statistics screen is broken into four areas for the users ability to see how the ORS or OPERA PMS’s business events are being processed. Also what the status is of those transmitted messages.

Example:  Statistics screen.

Process flow of messages from ORS to external systems:

Action is done in ORS or OPERA PMS>which is sent to OPERA Business Events In Queue>moves to OPERA Business Events Out Queue>OXI_HUB In Queue>OXI_HUB Out Queue>messages go to external systems.

OXI_HUB XML Out Queue

This out queue shows the current amount of messages per delivery type. The types of delivery visible will depend on what the properties are working with. You can have HTTP, MSMQ, FAX, EMAIL and PRINT. The Message Statuses will go through the process of READY, WAIT and PROCESSED. If the queue stays filled with messages, without a change or an increase in the number of messages, then check that External Systems services/processors are running.

OXI_HUB XML In Queue

This in queue shows the current messages that are coming from the OPERA Business Events Out Queue that will be grabbed and transmitted to properties via the OXI_HUB. This section should frequently be empty, or at least show messages for a minimal amount of time.

Chain. Select the down arrow and choose a chain from the list of values to filter the displayed message statistics by the chain.

Property. Select the down arrow and choose a property from the list of values to filter the displayed message statistics by the property.

OPERA Business Events In Queue

This in queue will show entries for every action that has been done in the OPERA application if the Business Event processor is OFF. When the Business Event processor is ON, then this queue should frequently be empty, or at least show messages for a minimal amount of time until they make their way into the OPERA Business Events Out Queue.

OPERA Business Events Out Queue

Shows the current amount of messages queued for each type of External System/Resort that is to be delivered. If the OPERA Business Events Out Queue stays filled with messages then check that Central Systems QUEUE service is running. This service is located on the Central IFC machine; which is accessed through the IFC Monitor.

Note: For the External System column, the External System and Resort are displayed.

Chain. Select the down arrow and choose a chain from the list of values to filter the displayed message statistics by the chain.
