1 Features and Updates

This chapter describes the features and updates contained in this release.

Database Administrator User Type

Oracle Hospitality e7 Point-of-Sale now requires a database administrator user to enable ringing transactions. The Oracle Hospitality e7 Point-of-Sale Installation Guide contains updated installation instructions that include creating a database account in the Configurator.

Updating a Check with the Initial Authorization

This release adds support to Oracle Payment Interface for re-authorizing a credit card to update a check and to print a new voucher without needing the card present. For example, if a customer orders a drink at a bar, and then later orders another drink, the customer is no longer required to swipe the card again on the second drink.

To enable this behavior, set the Secondary Authorization Option in the TIFOPI configuration to 1 or 2.

Support for Tips from the Pin Entry Device for Oracle Payment Interface

This release adds support for tips returned from the Pin Entry Device (PED) in Oracle Payment Interface responses.

Deprecating Support for Microsoft Vista and Microsoft Windows 8

e7 Point-of-Sale no longer supports the Microsoft Vista Business Edition and Microsoft Windows 8 operating systems. If you are using Microsoft Windows 8, you must upgrade to Microsoft Windows 8.1.
