Configuring the Transaction Services Default Employee

Transactions that are created and altered by the Transaction Services client must be associated with a default transaction employee in Simphony. You need to create an employee record that is not associated with a member of the staff, and is solely used for the Transaction Services client to post records to Simphony.

1. Select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Configuration, and then click Employee Maintenance.
2. Click the Insert Record button to add an employee.
3. From the Add Employee dialog box, select Add Employee From Template.
4. If you created employees previously, click Employee to Copy, and then select an existing employee to copy.
5. Enter the first name and the last name of the employee.
6. Assign the employee with an operator record in the revenue center in which Transaction Services operates. Take note of the employee record number.
7. Select the Property and the Revenue Center, and then click OK.
8. Click Save.
9. Go to the POS client workstation, and run the CAL, selecting the workstation you configured through Configuring the Transaction Services Workstation Client.
10. After the CAL installation is complete, navigate to the EGatewayService directory from the workstation, open the web.config file, and then verify that the file contains the correct Api_WorkstationID value.
