Update Business Date Utility

To access the Update Business Date Utility, select Utilities>Property Config>Update Business Date from the Utilities menu bar.

Note: This utility is made available for live standalone S&C properties that have decided to integrate S&C with PMS (that is, properties that are activating the OPP license for the first time).

This utility is password protected. Contact Oracle Technical Support to obtain the password.

This utility will bring the S&C business date up to the current system date. (It is not possible to select a specific start date.) We suggest that you run this utility sometime prior to the PMS go-live date; from then on, run End of Day processing, as appropriate, to update the business date until the actual PMS go-live date. When the PMS license is activated, S&C will be running on the PMS business date.

The following conditions must be met for this utility to be available:

• The property cannot currently have an active PMS license, nor may PMS ever have been active at the property (i.e., no PMS transactions or other PMS records can exist in the OPERA database).
• No reservations should be checked in, nor should any reservations exist with an arrival date before the current system date.
• When accessing Utilities, you must select the S&C application. The Update Business Date utility is not available in the PMS application.
