Labor Management Web Service

The labor web service runs on the Reporting and Analytics server that allows incoming connections to a specified labor URL.

The web service must be able to connect to:

• http://ServerName/labor/labor?wsdl
• https://ServerName/labor/labor?wsdl

If you can connect to the Oracle Reporting and Analytics server, you can also connect to the labor web service.

Optimally, each store should connect using a persistent IP network. Alternatively, a dial-up IP connection may be used as a backup. The interface does not require each store to have a public or static IP address, allowing the use of more economical third-party ISP services. The interface is transport layer independent and therefore supports a variety of IP connection methods, including DSL, frame relay, satellite, ISDN, cable, and dial-up.

Gift and Loyalty Service

Oracle Gift and Loyalty enables you to use loadable cards (such as gift cards) and create loyalty programs for patrons.

The Gift and Loyalty service operates on its own server, allowing the Simphony system and websites to connect to it.

The POS sends a SOAP request to the iOS, which processes the request and returns a SOAP response. The iOS typically requires one to two seconds to process each request. Overall, end-to-end transaction times using HTTPS over a broadband connection usually range from 4 to 10 seconds, including the time needed for HTTPS authentication.

rintln(requestXml);

CRC32 crc = new CRC32();

crc.update(requestXml.getBytes("UTF-8"));

String crcValue = Long.toHexString(crc.getValue()).toUpperCase();

System.out.println(crcValue);

Ideally, each store should connect over a persistent IP network. As a backup, a dial-up IP connection can be used. The interface does not require each store to have a public or static IP address, allowing connections through more cost-effective third-party ISP services. Because the interface is transport layer independent, it supports a variety of IP connection methods, including DSL, frame relay, satellite, ISDN, cable, and dial-up.
