Membership Exports

You can export membership data from the OPERA database into files and use these files for various purposes depending upon your needs. For example, if you have a loyalty program, you can export membership statements to a data file that can be sent to a fulfillment house for the processing of membership points.

The following export types can be used for Membership exports:

  • General ‒ This option enables you to export commonly used data from existing templates. These export files are pre-configured and can be modified.

  • Membership Export ‒ This option enables you to export data related to memberships, membership points, and membership statements.

The following Membership Export file types can be selected for the membership export. These are available in OPERA as system integrated data (SID).

Export File Sources

When creating a membership export, you must select the source of your export file. These sources are the views for the export procedure. You can select from the following sources for exporting membership statements:

  • MEMBER_STATEMENT_EXP_MEM_VW ‒ Select this option if you want the statements to contain detailed membership information for each member.

  • MEMBER_STATEMENT_EXP_TRX_VW ‒ Select this option if you want the statements to contain membership statement transactions information.

Centrally Managed Memberships

You can export membership award points and membership transactions for centrally managed membership programs to a statement. Membership award points for centrally managed membership programs enables you to export frequent flyer membership types to airlines.

Three templates are included for the central membership award points and transactions export. You can use the templates in their existing form or modify and rename them according to your needs. These templates export positive award points, unless you delete the filter command, which would enable negative points to be included in the export.

  • OCIS_ALASKA (OCIS Alaska Airline) ‒ This template is for the transaction level. It identifies bonus points (column contains FORMULA of H5B). One transaction appears per line. Provides the view of MEMBER_STATEMENT_EXP_TRX_VW.

  • OCIS_AMERICAN (OCIS American Airline) ‒ This template is for the transaction level. One transaction appears per line. It provides the view of MEMBER_STATEMENT_EXP_TRX_VW.

  • OCIS_DL_EXP (OCIS DL Export) ‒ This template is for the membership level. It combines the total accumulated points on one line (for all transactions for one member). Provides the view of MEMBER_STATEMENT_EXP_MEM_VW.
