Configuring Automatic Transmission Schedule (ATS)

This utility allows the external system to receive data in pre-definable, regular intervals. The AR EXPORT, BLOCK, INVENTORY and PROFILE DAILY STATS data modules are currently supported. At the time the next transmission kicks in, all data for the selected data module between the last transmission and this transmission is sent with this utility. This does not require OPERA Cloud business events, but it does require an OXI two-way Cloud Service subscription. When a message is sent it is identified as RTAV. You can set up multiple schedules that meet the business requirements of your property.

If the range is set to 30 days, OXI sends the data with start dates from current business date until 30 days in advance. Automatic Transmission has a message limitation. If the range of days exceeds 30 days, for example 60 days, then the transmission is 2 RTAV messages of 30 days each. If the range of days is 90, then the transmission is 3 RTAV messages of 30 days each, and so on.

    7. Future Days: Select the Future Days. It allows for a range in the future to be returned. For example: If the business date is 06/29/19 and the Range is set for 2 days, then the Range is set from 06/29/19 to 06/30/192. If the Future field is updated to 30, then the begin date of the Range that was sent is 30 days from 06/29/19. The Start Date and End Date calculates the dates based on the Range Days and Future Dates. The start date is calculated based on property¿s current business date and future days.
