CAL Deployment Order

By default, all CAL packages have a deployment order of 0 (zero). This can result in packages going to POS client workstations in an undesirable order. Assigning an order allows Simphony to create and place certain files or folders for one package, which are used later by another package in order to succeed.

Oracle Hospitality recommends deploying CAL packages in the order listed in the following table:

Table 5-4 CAL Deployment Order

Deployment Order CAL Package Name

ServiceHost

2

4+

Simphony Standard Cloud Service (Hosted) and Premium Cloud Service (Hosted) Environments

Simphony (Self-Hosted) Environments

In both Simphony Standard and Premium Cloud Service environments, the CAL Package Deployment Order field is grayed out and is not configurable at the organization level.

To change the CAL Package Deployment Order, log in to the EMC as a SuperOrg user. Changing the CAL Package Deployment Order as a SuperOrg user performs this change on all organizations associated with the SuperOrg.

This figure shows the CAL Package Configuration tab and the grayed out Deployment Order field.

Privileged Simphony (self-hosted) users always have the CAL Package Configuration Deployment Order field available for configuration or editing.
