Loyalty and Stored Value Configuration Prerequisites
Simphony supports the Gift and Loyalty drivers only on Microsoft Windows CE and Microsoft Windows 32-bit operating systems.
Complete the following tasks before configuring the Loyalty and Stored Value Interfaces and Drivers:
Install the latest Simphony release at the property.
Obtain access to the EMC within Simphony.
Configure unique Tender/Media and Discount records for loyalty transactions. Take note of the record number and type as you need the values to post transactions for Oracle Hospitality Reporting and Analytics and third-party loyalty applications.
Reporting and Analytics and third-party loyalty applications use the configured Simphony Tender/Media and Discount records to post loyalty transactions to the guest check.
(Optional) If the property is using the XProcessor Extension Application for Gift and Loyalty, configure the Gift and Loyalty interface and XProcessor Extension Application at the Enterprise level. Deploy each interface only to the correct locations and clients. After you upgrade the appropriate clients to the latest Simphony release, see XProcessor Extension Application Migration for instructions.
Leave the XProcessor installed at the Enterprise level until all clients have been upgraded to the latest Simphony release and are using the Gift and Loyalty interface.
Retrieve the data extension overrides for each property (such as URL, userid, user_password, and timeout_seconds). Take note of these settings as you need this information to create the integrated Gift and Loyalty interface.
Take note of the current functions the site uses through XProcessor. You need this information to create buttons for the Gift and Loyalty interface.
(Optional) If a third party developed a driver, use the driver configuration settings provided by the third party. Third-party drivers may have unique fields.
