Configuring OPERA Chain Scheduler

Prerequisites for Configuring Scheduler

Use OPERA Chain Scheduler to manage the scheduling of batch jobs; this feature is only available from a Hub location.

Note:

Multiple batch jobs can be processed concurrently.

Table 11-65 The following batch jobs are available

Job	Description
Membership Tier Management	This procedure processes membership upgrades, downgrades, and renewals for Loyalty memberships based on the Membership Type Level Rules and Configuring Membership Type Point Calculation and Tier Management configured.
Extend Membership Points	This procedure extends membership points based on the Grace Period and the Activity Period defined in Configuring Membership Type Point Calculation and Tier Management .
Auto Merge Profiles	This procedure matches and merges profiles according to the profile merge rules configured. See Configuring Profile Merge Rules. When profile sharing is inactive for your chain, only profiles registered for a specific resort are considered for match. The manual profile merge conditions apply. See Merging Profiles. Profile merge activity is tracked in the Changes Log: Profile Group, Merge Profile. Activity Type by Opera-Scheduler User.
Attach Orphan Stays	This procedure identifies orphan stay records created in the last 30 days and links them to the correct profile. The stay records may not have been originally linked because the profile was staged, or did not exist at the time the stay or reservation was uploaded; but has since been processed.
Calculate Membership Points	This procedure calculates membership points when the Points Calculation Method is set to Batch mode, based on the Configuring Membership Type Rules (Point Calculation Rules) and applies points to the member based on their activity (membership transactions).
Expire Membership Points	This procedure expires membership points when the Points Calculation Method is set to Batch mode, based on the Award Point Expiry Date defined in Configuring Membership Type Point Calculation and Tier Management .
Pending Profile Subscriptions	This procedure distributes profiles to external systems and creates profile subscriptions accordingly.
