1-15



Note—This procedure must be performed only if the Cendyn setup is complete.

Cendyn provides Newmarket with a list of Cendyn Property Authorized Users for each property along with a Cendyn Property ID. This information is available in the Technical Statement of Work found on the Property Information Database.

If the email addresses between the Delphi and Cendyn databases do not match exactly, an error similar to the following occurs when the user tries to view an online proposal in Delphi:

1. From File, click Setup, and double-click Sales Reps.

2. Double-click the Sales Rep whose email address you want to verify.

Refer to the list of Cendyn Property Authorized Users found in the Technical Statement of Work on the Property Information Database.

3. Verify that each user’s email address matches those provided by Cendyn.

Procedure 3, Testing

Perform the appropriate procedure below to test eProposal.

• If Cendyn setup is complete, proceed to If Cendyn Setup is Complete, page 1-15.

• If Cendyn setup is not complete, proceed to If Cendyn Setup is not Complete, page 1-16.

If Cendyn Setup is Complete

If Cendyn has assigned a Cendyn Property ID for the property, you can verify launching of the Cendyn web page using a Delphi User who is an authorized eProposal user (their email address is registered at that Cendyn Property ID).

Note—The Cendyn Property ID was entered in Step 7a on page 1-14.

1. Open the Delphi application and login as a Delphi user who is an authorized eProposal user.

Refer to the list of Cendyn Property Authorized Users found in the Technical Statement of Work on the Property Information Database

2. Open an existing booking.

3. In the Booking Manager, select a booking contact that has an email address.

For example, if the user’s email address in Delphi is [email protected], and in Cendyn it is different (i.e. [email protected]), thiserror occurs.

Note—If the booking contact does not have an email address, the eProposal does not launch and you receive an error.

4. From the View menu, click Online Proposal.

5. If successful, the Cendyn web page opens.

Note—If an error occurs, verify the user’s email address in Delphi matches the address in Cendyn’s database, and verify the booking contact has an email address.

6. Close the window.

If Cendyn Setup is not Complete

If the Cendyn setup is not complete, you can test eProposal by using the generic email address found in NI’s test property databases.

1. Open the Delphi application.

2. In Setup, create a Sales Manager with the following generic test email address:

[email protected]


4. In the Booking Manager, select a booking contact that has an email address.

Note—If the booking contact does not have an email address, the eProposal does not launch and you receive an error.

5. From the View menu, click Online eProposal.

6. If successful, the Cendyn test web page opens.

Note—If an error occurs, verify the generic user email address was entered correctly (see Step 2), and verify the booking contact has an email address.



• If the future Cendyn Property ID is not listed in the Technical SOW, escalate to the Client Services Project Manager, who will be responsible for entering the Cendyn Property ID when it becomes available.

• If the future Cendyn Property ID is listed in the technical SOW, you must enter the Admin Panel’s Connection Manager and change the Other setting to the Cendyn Property ID. See Procedure 1, Activating eProposal, page 1-12 for instructions on opening the Connection Manager.

Procedure 2, Installing the Connector

1. Install the MB3 connector from the MB3 Installation CD by running Setup.exe.

Note—If NIIS and DSI were installed on the same server, you only have to run the MB3 installer once. If NIIS and DSI are on separate servers, you must run the MB3 installer on each server.

• MeetingBroker Polling Cycle - Refer to the SOW, which indicates whether the site is using Passive or Active mode. If using Passive, the site must specify whether to set the polling at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, or 240 minutes.

• MeetingBroker Server IP Address - enter the following URL for the MeetingBroker server:my.meetingbroker.com Note—Do not enter http:// or https:// before the URL.

2. Install appropriate hotfixes.


3. Add HTTP/HTTPS calls through Proxy server.



1-33



Note—You do not need to add the HTTP/HTTPS calls unless the site is using a proxy server or requires authentication. If not needed, proceed to the next section, Procedure 3, Activating Connections, page 1-33.

a. On the I-Server server, open SQL query analyzerb. Open the following script against the I-Server database (NI_ISDB).

/NIIS/DatabaseScripts/ProxyConfiguration.sqlc. Scroll to the following entries, and enter the appropriate information. Refer to the SOW:

d. Execute the query.

Procedure 3, Activating Connections

When the MB3 connector is installed, the install program automatically creates the following service connections for each property: Setup Values, Create Meeting, Update Proposal, Error Service, and MB Polling.

If the connector is installed at a standalone SPE site, five connections are created, one for each service. If installed at a DMPE site, the five connections are created for each property in the DMPE regardless of whether or not MeetingBroker has been installed at all properties. For example, if the DMPE is a 4 property DMPE, 20 connections are created (4 properties * 5 services = 20 connections).

Note—Refer to the Technical Statement of Work (SOW) in NI’s Property Information Database to determine whether the MeetingBroker application has been installed at the property.

1. Open the Admin Panel.

2. Click Connection Manager.

A list of all MB3 default connections appears.

* Change Target Address to the MeetingBroker server’s URL: my.meetingbroker.com

Note—Do not enter http:// or https:// before the URL.

* Enter the password for the MB location. Please refer to the Technical Statement of Work (SOW) in NI’s Property Information Database.

* Change Setup Mode to No.

b. If the MeetingBroker application installation is not complete at the property, leave the connection entries at their default values.

SET @UserID = ' ' - - - This is the username to use to authenticate against the proxy server

SET @PassWord = ' ' - - - This is the password for the username used to authenticate against the proxy server

SET @ProxyServerName = ' ' - - - Specify one or more proxy server names or IPAddresses. Separate each name with a comma (,)

SET @BypassServerName = ' ' - - - Specify one or more bypass server names or IpAddresses. Separate each name with a comma (,)



1-34

Passkey ConnectorProcess/Prerequisites

During the SOW process the project manager should have provided all necessary Passkey configuration information for the property’s production Passkey site.

Before continuing with the installation, make sure all information for the configuration is available. If it is not, contact the project manager immediately to get the information. The property’s Passkey production site must be available to complete the installation and validate that the connector is working.

Manual Steps

Note—If NIIS and DSI were installed on the same server, you only have to run the Passkey installer once. If NIIS and DSI are on separate servers, you must run the Passkey installer on each server.

1. Install the Passkey connector from the Passkey Connector Installation CD by running Setup.exe.

2. Add HTTP/HTTPS calls through Proxy server.

Validating/Monitoring Passkey

Before completing the recap and giving it to support it is necessary to validate that the connector is installed correctly. This is only possible if the Passkey production site is available and you have completed all Connection Manager information. Once a booking is modified that meets the connection manager criteria a message is sent to Passkey.

You can do this by creating a test booking that meets the connection manager criteria. While you create and save the test booking, you monitor the Export Monitor in the admin panel.

1. In the Admin Panel, open the Export Monitor. You will toggle back to the export monitor once your test booking has been saved.

2. Open Delphi and create a booking that meets the Connection Manager’s Booking Export Configuration you configured according to the SOW. See step f on page 1- 47.

a. For example, in Delphi, create a test booking under the Newmarket account. 1 Agreed room, 0 blocked rooms, 3 nights, status = definite, post as = Passkey Test, rate = $1.00, to next day.Enter a housing method that you specified in the Booking Export Configuration, per the SOW.

3. Save changes to the booking and quickly toggle back to the Export Monitor.

Once the booking is saved, a message makes it’s way from the Delphi database through I-Server to Passkey. This process can take up to 5 minutes. You should see the number of messages in the booking service connection change to zero as this occurs. The status column can also help you interpret what is happening to the message.

• If the status is green, it indicates that messages are being sent from I-Server to Passkey.• After 10 minutes, if the message is not moving, the status turns yellow, after 2 hours, it turns red.

4. Once you see the message pass through the Export Monitor or after 5 minutes has passed, check to make sure there are no error messages in the Status Queue.

a. If you see the following error, it indicates that Passkey security has denied the connection. Message Status: Transfer Type : 'NIDataExport' Priority : '1' Error : 'Could not export data to passkey webservice.' Reason : 'Node:'//*[name()='buildEventRS']//*[name()='Data']//*[name()='processRequest']//*[name()='return']/@code' could not be found in document. Function : CXML::GetAttributeValueFromPath() failed.' Layer : 'NIIS'. Component : 'ExportService_Passkey.Passkey' Detailed Description : 'Error retrieving the value of 'code' attribute.'

b. As a first troubleshooting step, ensure the property connection details in the Admin Panel are correct.

5. Delete the test booking from Passkey. Logout of Passkey.
