For the NETx BMS Server to know which rooms need be tracked, you have to provide some information regarding the room definitions.
You should be able to export this information from the Infor HMS and import it to the NETx BMS Studio so that you don't have to enter it manually.
To do soPlease talk to the Infor HMS operator to learn how to get the required room informations.
To configure the room definitions, click the "Room definitions" menu entry within the "Modules" => "Infor" entry.
Each definition line corresponds to one hotel room within the Infor HMS. The first column "ID" represents the unique room ID (for example 101), the second column "Path" represents the path that is used to define the structure within the item tree (Usually usually grouped at floor level).
The remaining fields "Persistent", "Historical" and "Synchronize" have the same functionality as for all other interfaces within the NETx BMS Server.
The following figure shows an example of a set of configured rooms which should be tracked.
...
After having defined all rooms, the NETx BMS Server has to be restarted. Afterwards, the configured rooms are shown within the item tree under the sub tree "NETx\XIO\Infor\Main".
The retrieved information for each room from the Infor HMS is stored as a server item "RoomChecked" within the configured path.
