Thanks, for saving me several hours of hacking.

I have a VM with an Aloha 6.7.14 demo installed. The basic stuff works, including Aloha Manager and taking orders and making cash payments (under $10). Now I'm trying to test the end-of-day "grind" process, because I want to work with some of the DBF files it creates. I'm getting various...

..although I believe "MR" as in "MR6" actually stands for "Maintenance Release". Quote from the docs: "This document describes the features and changes included in the Oracle Hospitality Simphony version 2.7 Maintenance Release (MR) 6." Either way, sounds like I only got an upgrade, not...

Thanks for both answers. Looks like I'll trial v1 while I wait for Oracle to send me the correct v2 "Foundation" install and not the "Media Release".

Thank you. I was not given access to the e-delivery system :( They just gave me a flash drive with a bunch of stuff. It looks like the v1 install works (some what), so going to try installing that.. what do you think the odds are that v2 upgrade I have will upgrade a v1 copy? Should I even try?

I'm trying to install Simphony v2.7 MR6 from an ISO image I obtained from Oracle. When I run setup.exe in the root folder of the install media (right-click and "run as admin" since running normally says admin user required), I just get an error saying "No Simphony software found to update."...

List of files they gave me below. So far I've only installed/ran 9700_4.0GR_setup.exe -- after installing all of the requirements (Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, sdelete). In a prior package they had given me a few years ago, for an older 9700 version, it had a separate setup for "Stored...

They also included Symphony v1 and v2 in this package they gave me... if either of those would include any of this gift card processing "out of the box" and/or be easier to configure, I'd try those. To be honest my boss just wants to see something working, with gift cards (that's like his #1...

Do you have any links or know what documentation (PDF filename even, I have 50+ PDFs from Oracle/Micros) I should look at for setting this up: "You should be able to setup the Stored Value card configuration per RVC." This is for sports stadiums. I specifically asked our Oracle contact about...

I just received a demo version of Micros 9700 HMS 4.0 from Oracle. They've provided the software, but only very limited support, so trying to figure things out myself if I can. Our Oracle contact said that this package should include the ability to test gift card providers (specifically "First...

Thanks hosehead78, but what I am looking for is the equivalent of a function that exists in Micros 3700 which is "SetIslTsKeyX" (notice the X at the end, I assume meaning "eXtended") which does have 2 extra arguments -- one for color, and one for icon. Seems odd that a newer version of Micros...

I write ISL scripts for Micros. On 3700 I use SetIslTsKeyX which is the same as SetIslTsKey but allows me to set the color and icon. The function doesn't seem to exist on 9700. Is there another way to set color and/or icon? I can do it in the UI designer inside EMC, so I suppose I might have...

Actually I was just told about "Stored Value Card" interface. Sounds like that might be what I'm after, even though it is an extra addon.. at least it's made by Micros and sounds like it lets users configure it to use different existing gift card processors. So, in theory, if they had that...

Thanks Wildbar. I was hoping they would have something built in like Aloha, something I could count on a large percentage (if not all) of Micros installs to already have. My business model starts to fall apart, at least this part of it, if customers have to pay for (or even install) extra...

I'm creating a cloud service that will emulate one or more gift card processors, such as First Data's Closed Loop Gift Cards (formerly known as ValueLink) or Chase Paymentech NetConnect protocols. Our expected clients are stadiums and large hotel chains. I believe two of the most popular...
