OPERA ADS Installation Guide

The Opera Alternate Distribution Systems (ADS) installation guide outlines the full installation of Opera ADS, which is available with the Opera Electronic Distribution Suite (OEDS). Many of the highlighted features are activated and driven by settings and parameters that allow customization for each individual customer’s needs. The Opera ADS interface includes features targeted to the existing and future spectrum of Electronic Distribution Channels (EDCs).

Important Note: It is very possible that screens, parameters, etc. may not exist in versions prior to OPERA versions 3.0.3+.

Opera Channel Management is an effective way to manage the rate/rooms that are sold through the ADS system, offering a wide range of benefits, including rate update, restriction updates and seamless connectivity to the OPERA PMS or ORS database. Opera Channel Management offers tools to facilitate data entry into the database and minimize setup work, and an intuitive flow through the setup screens that comprise the functionality.

Compatibility With Opera Versions

• Opera ADS without the ARI component is compatible with Opera 2.6.2+

• Opera ADS with the ARI component is compatible with Opera 3.0.2+

IMPORTANT NOTE: For versions 3.0+, if you are performing a new  ADS with ARI installation, and you already have another rate update service installed on a machine different than the one where ADS is being installed, you must consolidate ALL rate update services to the ADS machine.
