Inserting the Extension Application Files for OPERA

This procedure explains how to install and configure the SIM OPERA Property Maintenance System (PMS) interface. The configuration requires:

• Simphony release 2.8 or later

• OPERA Interface release 8.7.3.7 or later

1. Run the SIMPH2_ENH_IFC[version number].exe setup application on the Simphony application server.
   This application verifies the Simphony installation and copies the following files to the [Drive letter]:\MICROS\Custom\EnhancedInterface folder:

   • CONTENT_EnhIFC_Config.txt

   • McrsExtDialogsML.dll

   • MF_ENH.isl

   • MF_ENH_Android.isl

   • android.htm

2. If you cannot start the setup application on the Simphony application server because of access or user right limitations, but have access to EMC from your local PC, use the /LOCAL parameter to star the application.

   This method only works for version 270. That is, SIMPH2_ENH_IFC270.exe. Running the application through this methods does not verify the Simphony installation, and it is your responsibility to ensure that the Simphony requirements are met. This method copies the required files into the sub-folder Custom\EnhancedInterface beneath the folder you selected in the setup application.
