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.
