Deleting Card Ordering File

In order to protect the data from being comprised, the Delete Card Ordering File button is used to remove the unused, expired requests or files sent to PGP. For the delete function to work, this would require the SDelete component to be installed.

  1. Unzip the SDelete.zip into the same directory of Oracle Hospitality Cruise program folder.

  2. Click the Delete Card Ordering File button at the General tab.

  3. Click the Open File button to browse for the file.

  4. Click Delete to completely remove the data file.

Card Ordering

The Card Ordering tab enables you to create a card request file for submission to the bank. The screen shows all the crew members onboard and you can either select by embarkation or debarkation date.

Figure 26-45 Card Ordering Selection


The figure shows the Card Ordering Selection window.

To place the card order for the crew member,

  1. Select the crew member from the grid.

  2. Click Add Selected or Add All. You can also deselect them from the grid on the left and then click Remove Selected or Remove All.

  3. Select the card type to print. You can choose to print the debit card onboard or at shoreside using the system provided by Ocean Pay.

  4. Click the Order XXXX button to place the order.

  5. If the crew has ordered a card or the card is not due to expire, the system prompts if you wish to continue to move the name to the selected column. Select the corresponding option.

  6. The system creates three separate files containing the same information:

  • Order Visa Card: This uses the specific VISA prefix file format.

  • Order MT Card: This uses the specific MT Card Prefix file format.

Note:

You are not allowed to generate the card ordering file without first specifying the encryption key.

The program validates all the required information written to the file of each crew member. The mandatory fields are: Address, Street, City, State, Country and Zip code. An exception log file is created in the Oracle Hospitality Cruise folder for records that do not have the mandatory information.

Figure 26-46 Card Ordering File Not Generated


The figure shows the Card Ordering File Not Generated message.

The following process takes place when the Card Ordering file is generated:

  • It saves the generated PGP Encrypted file into the network path specified and uses the following naming convention “ship name” + “MMDDYYYY”+ “_” + “unique number”. For example: Demo12082009_180237.pgp

  • Older files are automatically moved into the History folder for audit purposes. The files can be deleted using the Delete Card Ordering File.

  • The program does not allow a crew member to place the card ordering twice. The card ordering will not add the request into the card request file.

  • All generated records are stored in the CPT table.

Below is an example of an encrypted output file.
