The following two tasks are useful when managing Vouchers & Gift Cards.

OVV Offline Import task

About this task

The OVV Offline Import task imports offline voucher and gift card transaction data from online cinemas which have experienced connectivity issues, and offline cinemas.

These offline voucher and gift card transactions are exported by the OVV Offline TXN Export task, which is a Vista Cinema scheduled task. The OVV Offline TXN Export task initially contacts WSVistaVoucher, so that WSVistaVoucher can import the offline transactions. If it can’t contact WSVistaVoucher, the OVV Offline TXN Export task creates files for the OVV Offline Import task to import.

Behaviour

The task checks the file path specified in the XFERFILEPATH parameter. If that location has any files exported by the OVV Offline TXN Export task, it will import them.

Required?

This task is required if you use Online Voucher Validation (OVV).

Recommended schedule

Every 10 minutes.

Running the task frequently ensures your data is up to date, and that the task finishes quickly because it only has to import small amounts of data.

Parameters

OVV VM Ref Export task

About this task

This task exports voucher information created in Vouchers and Gift Cards into Vista Cinema. That includes voucher types and related information.

Behaviour

The task sends your voucher information to the location specified by the XFERFILEPATH parameter. The OVV VM Ref Import task then imports those files into Vista Cinema.

The task exports data from the following tables:

tblVoucherType

tblVoucherPrice

tblVoucherBlacklist

tblVoucherRule

Required?

Yes.

Recommended schedule

Once a day, outside of business hours, and before the OVV VM Ref Import task.
