About

The RMS property management system is interfaced differently to other systems
Typically Reslink.exe communicates with these systems directly; however, RMS does not actually have a direct interface specification
Therefore, a special program has been developed to send room charge information to them
They only have the ability to send us room status changes (opened, closed) via an ASCII file, that we then must maintain our own database of rooms available for charging
Then we can only "send" them room charges by writing to another ASCII file
The problem with this is the fact that there is no direct confirmation from their system that the charge has been accepted and written ok
The RMSServer.exe is configured in BEpoz as if it was Reslink.exe, in other words, it directly replaces Reslink.exe in these venues. Therefore setup BEpoz and the Tills as if it were using Reslink
The RMS Server program uses a configuration file call RMSCONFIG.TXT located in the execute directory. It contains directory and GLCode information to the program. This can be edited using notepad.exe.
