Basic architecture
The NETx Server provides an interface which can be used to integrate information from the hotel management system Oracle Fidelio/Opera. Using this interface, information about the check-in/check-out procedure, the hotel guests and the hotel room states can be retrieved. In addition, it is also possible to send dedicated information from the NETx Server to the Oracle Fidelio/Opera system. This interface for the NETx Server is certified by Oracle. The official certificate can be found here.
The following figure shows how the integration has to be done.
...
After having installed the interface, restart the server.
