CRO Setup

From main IFC Monitor screen go to File>Configuration>CRO.

This tab contains information required to run the interface at central.

Example: screen configuration from CRO

Oracle Connection ORS:

User ID. Enter the name of the ORS schema

Password. Enter the password of the ORS schema

Database. Enter the name of the instance where the ORS schema resides

Oracle Connection OXI_HUB:

User ID. Enter the name of the OXI_HUB schema

Password. Enter the password for OXI_HUB schema

Database. Enter the name of the instance where the OXI_HUB schema resides

Interface:

MSMQ Queue Machine Name. Name of the machine where MSMQ has been installed on and the Primary Site Controller (PSC) resides. This is preset during installation and read-only as this should not be changed.

MSMQ CRO Queue Name. Name of the MSMQ CRS Queue Name. This is preset to ‘CRO’ during the Installation and read only as this should not be changed.

Select for interface list of values Select the interface type that is installed. Choices are currently OXI-OPERA, OXI-V6, OXI-V7, OXI-CLS. If you have multiple interface installed, you would select one first, set the threads, and then select the second, set the threads for this, and so on.
Prequeue threads (to right of interface type field).The prequeue threads process business events from ORS and cause the generation of messages for delivery to the outbound queues. Enter the number of simultaneous processes (threads) used for messages from ORS for this interface type. Keep in mind that the higher the amount of threads, the slower the process may run. We recommend no more than 4 threads at present, however this entirely depends on the traffic volume and your number of properties. Once you toggle to another interface type in the field to the left, the number of threads has to be entered for that interface as well.

Upload/Download Threads. Enter the number of simultaneous processes (threads) used for upload and download transactions.

Note: We recommend no more than 9 threads as maximum. The number of sessions depend on the number of threads configured for the OXI_HUB processor. The number of sessions will remain constant as long as the service is running unless there is a network glitch that causes the connections to drop and may leave orphan sessions.

Interface Monitor also establishes a session to database.

Machine Number. Select the machine number for this interface monitor PC. This depends on how many monitors you are using for the interface. You can run it on multiple PCs and name the first machine M1 and the second machine M2, up to M9. A unique machine number per PC is needed so that they don’t interfere.

Logging:

Log Directory. The desired log directory path of the Central Interface Log. This is preset during installation but can be changed if needed.

Log Level. Set the log type used in the log file.

Options are: Error, Warning, Message, Debug, or Trace, where warning has the most limited and trace the most detailed information in the log file. Each level selected includes information from the level below. The general setting is ‘Message’. If very detailed information were required for some time in order to trouble-shoot the interface, the level ‘Debug’ would be set.
