PCI Compliance Installation Changes

PCI Compliance
Changes were made to the 9700 installation process for versions 3.10
Installation Changes SP6 and higher, in order to meet the Payment Card Industry Data

Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements. For more information on PCI
DSS, please see the “Security Announcement” section.
Previous versions of 9700 3.x installed with four default accounts:
“9700cfg,” “csremote,” “micros,” and “m9700.” MICROS Systems, Inc.
previously advised that these defaults accounts be deleted, renamed, or
disabled. To prevent compromised security and maintain PCI
compliancy, 9700 Versions 3.10 SP6 and higher have modified or
removed these default accounts. For more information, please see the
“Documentation Resources” section.

To meet a PCI compliance requirement, domain-level security or
Windows® Workgroups must now be enabled when both the Remote
Management Console (RMC) remote user account is active and credit
card transactions are processed through the 9700 system. Domain-level
security must be enabled when the server is on a domain. Windows®
Workgroups provides security for servers not on a domain.
The installation process now recognizes if the server is on the domain or
not on the domain. When the server is on the domain, domain-level
security is automatically installed by the 9700 installation process.
Disabling domain-level security will compromise PCI compliancy. If
domain-level security is disabled when the server is on the domain, the
CreateUser.exe application must be used to maintain PCI compliancy.
For more information on Windows® Workgroups and the CreateUser.exe
application, see the “When the Server is Not on the Domain: Configuring
Remote RMC in a Windows® Workgroup Environment” section on the
next page.

Overview
Due to new, more stringent Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, the encryption key rotation handling
procedures, default account handling, and security-related documentation
for 9700 versions 3.10 SP6 and higher have changed.
About PCI Compliance
PCI compliance is required of all merchants and service providers that
store, process, or transmit cardholder data. The program applies to all
payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone
order, and e-commerce.
When customers offer their bankcard at the point of sale, over the
Internet, on the phone, or through the mail, they want assurance that their
account information is safe. That’s why the PCI Data Security Standard
was established. The program is intended to protect cardholder data—
wherever it resides— ensuring that members, merchants, and service
providers maintain the highest information security standard.1
To achieve compliance with PCI, merchants and service providers must
adhere to the PCI Data Security Standard, which offers a single approach
to safeguarding sensitive data for all card brands. This Standard is a result
of collaboration among the credit card industry and is designed to create
common industry security requirements, incorporating the PCI
requirements. Using the PCI Data Security Standard as its framework,
PCI provides the tools and measurements needed to protect against
cardholder data exposure and compromise across the entire payment
industry.
For more detailed information concerning PCI compliance, please refer
to the PCI Security Standards Council website, https://
www.pcisecuritystandards.org/.

PCI Compliance
Security Announcement

Key Management Utility Security Enhancements
In the past, non PCI-compliant versions of software stored the encryption
keys used to encrypt and decrypt secure data, such as credit card
numbers, in the database.
Now, due to a new PCI DSS requirement that mandates the secure
deletion of unused encryption keys, 9700 versions 3.10 SP6 and higher
use a new encryption scheme that avoids using secondary encryption
keys. The secure deletion of the old encrypted passphrase file is
accomplished using the secure delete application SDelete.
Warnings!
After a key rotation (the initial key rotation and all subsequent rotations)
is performed by the Key Management Utility, the database and 9700
application becomes synchronized with new encryption key data.
As a result, users should not swap databases (restoring/replacing the
existing database with a different one) until they are absolutely sure that
the new database is also in sync with the 9700 application.
Generally speaking, there is no way to determine whether an offline
database that is about to be restored by the user is in sync with the 9700
application.
Therefore, the only safe scenario to restore/replace a database is to
restore/replace the database with a good database backup that must have
been taken prior to performing the new key rotation. The database can
only be restored/ replaced if no key rotation has occurred since uploading
the existing database or since the backup database was taken.
Warning: If the passphrase is lost, the encrypted data in the database is
unrecoverable. There are no backdoors!
For more information and instructions on how to use the Key
Management Utility, see the MICROS 9700 Encryption Key Management
Utility document.

PCI Compliance
Security Announcement

WARNING!

Important Security Warning: The use of default accounts is
not PCI compliant. Therefore, 9700 versions 3.10 SP6 and
higher eliminate the option to operate in a non-compliant
fashion by automatically deleting or disabling the existing
default accounts via the installation / upgrade process.
Disabling or deleting the existing default accounts could
potentially disable functionality in the system where these
accounts were used. However, these default accounts must
be securely disabled or deleted to operate in a PCI
compliant manner.

In the past, versions of 9700 installed with four default accounts:
“9700cfg,” “csremote,” “micros,” and “m9700.” MICROS Systems, Inc.
previously advised that these defaults accounts be deleted, renamed, or
disabled. To prevent compromised security and maintain PCI
compliancy, 9700 versions 3.10 SP6 and higher will modify or remove
these default accounts.
The “micros” and “csremote” legacy accounts will no longer be installed.
These accounts have been removed from the installation process as they
are not used and, when not securely deleted, can compromise PCI
compliancy. When upgrading to Version 3.10 SP6 or higher from a lower
version of software, these accounts will be disabled after the upgrade
process completes.
The legacy “m9700” and “9700cfg” accounts will be disabled after the
installation/ upgrade process completes.
For more information on secure default account handling, see the 9700
Secure Default Account Handling document.

Partial Credit Card Authorization
CR ID#: N/A

With this release, support has been added for partial pay authorization,
which is a feature that permits a site to accept prepaid credit cards.
Unlike traditional gift cards, all prepaid cards issued by credit card
companies (e.g., the Visa and American Express) are processed as credit
cards.
In a situation where the amount of the check exceeds the balance
remaining on the prepaid credit card, or when the balance of the card is
unknown, the site can approve the credit card authorization for an
amount that is less than the total amount originally requested by the
credit card driver.

Revision C

Page 16 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 9
What’s New

To use this feature, the site must use a credit card driver that supports
partial pay authorizations. A driver that supports this functionality is also
able to return the available card balance in the authorization approval.
When the available balance is known, it is added to the credit card
voucher.
At this time, this functionality is only available with the VisaD driver.
Changes to support this feature with the CAPMS driver are still pending
certification with SDC, therefore, CAPMS will support this feature in a
future release.
Additionally, it is possible to perform a balance inquiry on the prepaid
credit card, if the credit card host supports a balance inquiry. Although
the Partial Pay feature is supported on all devices, the balance inquiry
functionality is only supported on winstation and SAR clients. Balance
inquiries are not supported by Mobile MICROS devices.

Note

The Partial Credit Card Authorization feature is not supported
on kbws4 clients.

Use Cases
This section contains some basic use cases to illustrate the partial pay
feature used in conjunction with a prepaid credit card.
Example 1: Check Total is Less Than Balance on the Card
The Check Total is $35.00 and the Card Balance is $50.00.
1. Employee uses the Credit Authorization key to authorize the prepaid
credit card.
2. The credit card processor returns an approval for $35.00 and an
available balance of $15.00.
3. POS Operations prints a standard credit card voucher with an
additional Available Balance: $15.00 line.

Example 2: Check Total is More Than Balance on the Card
The Check Total is $35.00 and the Card Balance is $25.00.
1. Employee uses the Credit Authorization key to authorize the prepaid
credit card.
2. The credit card processor returns a partial approval for $25.00 and an
available balance of $0.00.
3. POS Operations prints a standard credit card voucher for $25.00
showing an available balance of $0.00. The voucher will not contain
a tip line since the remaining balance is zero.
Example 3: Initial Authorization is More than the Card Balance
The customer wishes to run a bar tab. The Initial Authorization is $50.00
and the card balance is $25.00.
1. Employee uses the Initial Authorization key to request an
authorization for $50.00.
2. The credit card processor returns a partial approval for $25.00 and an
available balance of $0.00.
3. When the customer is ready to leave, the operator can print a voucher
for up to $25.00.
Example 4: Auth N Pay Tender
The Check Total is $35.00 and the Card Balance is $25.00.
1. Employee uses the VISA key to request an authorization for $35.00.
2. The credit card processor returns a partial approval for $25.00 and an
available balance of $0.00.
3. POS Operations prints a voucher for $25.00 showing an available
balance of $0.00. The normal Auth N Pay trailer is printed. A VISA
Payment of $25.00 is posted to the check.

Page 18 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 9
What’s New

How it Works
When enabled, POS Operations will send a flag to the credit card driver
indicating that it supports partial authorizations.
When the transaction has been partially approved, the credit card driver
will send a notification to the credit card host, including the amount of
the authorization.
If the partial authorization occurred during an Initial Authorization
request, then the amount entered cannot exceed the Initial Authorization
amount.
Any time a partial authorization occurs, POS Operations will display the
following message intended to draw the operator’s attention:
Partial Authorization of XX.XX Has Been Applied.

When the driver returns an available balance, POS Operations will store
that balance as part of the authorization detail. The remaining balance
will print on the credit card voucher.
If the credit card driver does not support partial authorization then it will
decline the authorization even if the tender is configured to support
partial authorizations.
Configuration
To program this functionality, the user must configure the following
options in the EMC:
For all credit card tenders that will support this functionality, enable
the Supports Partial Authorization option on the Credit Card
Options tab.
Enable the Print Stored Value account or Prepaid Card balance
on chit/voucher option on the Printing Options | Tender Media
Options tab. This will print the available card balance on the credit
card voucher, after the transaction is complete.

Security
PCI Compliance Installation Changes
Changes have been made to the 9700 v 3.10 SP6 installation process to
meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
requirements. For more information on PCI DSS, please see the
“Security Announcement” section.
Previous versions of 9700 3.x installed with four default accounts:
“9700cfg,” “csremote,” “micros,” and “m9700.” MICROS Systems, Inc.
previously advised that these defaults accounts be deleted, renamed, or
disabled. To prevent compromised security and maintain PCI
compliancy, 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 has modified or removed these default
accounts. For more information, please see the “Secure Default Account
Handling” section.
To meet a PCI compliance requirement, domain-level security or
Windows® Workgroups must now be enabled when both the Remote
Management Console (RMC) remote user account is active and credit
card transactions are processed through the 9700 system. Domain-level
security must be enabled when the server is on a domain. Windows®
Workgroups provides security for servers not on a domain.
The installation process now recognizes if the server is on the domain or
not on the domain. When the server is on the domain, domain-level
security is automatically installed by the 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 installation
process. Disabling domain-level security will compromise PCI
compliancy. If domain-level security is disabled when the server is on the
domain, the CreateUser.exe application must be used to maintain PCI
compliancy. For more information on Windows® Workgroups and the
CreateUser.exe application, see the “When the Server is Not on the
Domain: Configuring Remote RMC in a Windows® Workgroup
Environment” section on the next page.

What’s New

When the Server is Not on the Domain: Configuring Remote RMC in a
Windows® Workgroup Environment
Due to a new PCI security requirement, the 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 installation
now asks if the site processes credit card transactions through the system,
as shown below

If credit cards are processed, the 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 installation now asks if
the site will use the remote RMC, as shown below.

If the site is using remote RMC, credit cards are processed through the
9700 system, and the server is not on the domain, the following prompt
displays.

After clicking “OK” to close the prompt above, follow the procedures on
the next page to maintain Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance in a
Windows® Workgroup environment when both credit cards and Remote
RMC are used. Complete these instructions after the 9700 3.1 SP6 update
is finished and the server has been rebooted.

9. Repeat steps 6-9 on each Remote RMC workstation. Be certain to use
the same username and password previously used on the server.
MICROS Systems, Inc. mandates that the Remote RMC password on the
server and all clients be changed periodically, at least every 90 days,
using the CreateUser applet. After creating a new password, be certain to
use the same username and password on the server and on all the client
workstations.
Security Announcement
Due to new, more stringent Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 encryption key
rotation handling procedures, default account handling, and securityrelated documentation has changed.
About PCI Compliance
PCI compliance is required of all merchants and service providers that
store, process, or transmit cardholder data. The program applies to all
payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone
order, and e-commerce.
When customers offer their bankcard at the point of sale, over the
Internet, on the phone, or through the mail, they want assurance that their
account information is safe. That's why the PCI Data Security Standard
was established. The program is intended to protect cardholder datawherever it resides- ensuring that members, merchants, and service
providers maintain the highest information security standard.

MD0006-065
Revision C
November 18, 2008
Page 63 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 6
What’s New

To achieve compliance with PCI, merchants and service providers must
adhere to the PCI Data Security Standard, which offers a single approach
to safeguarding sensitive data for all card brands. This Standard is a result
of collaboration among the credit card industry and is designed to create
common industry security requirements, incorporating the PCI
requirements. Using the PCI Data Security Standard as its framework,
PCI provides the tools and measurements needed to protect against
cardholder data exposure and compromise across the entire payment
industry.
For more detailed information concerning PCI compliance, please refer
to the PCI Security Standards Council website, https://
www.pcisecuritystandards.org/.
Key Management Utility Security Enhancements
Previously, the 9700 3.x system stored the encryption keys used to
encrypt and decrypt secure data, such as credit card numbers, in the
database.

MD0003-132
Revision C
November 18, 2008
Page 64 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 6
What’s New

Now due to a new PCI DSS requirement that mandates the secure
deletion of unused encryption keys, 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 uses a new
encryption scheme that avoids using secondary encryption keys. The
secure deletion of the old encrypted passphrase file is accomplished
using the secure delete application SDelete.
Warning: After a key rotation (the initial key rotation and all
subsequent rotations) is performed by the Key Management
Utility, the database and 9700 application becomes
synchronized with new encryption key data.
Because of this reason, users should not swap databases
(restoring/replacing the existing database with a different
one) until they are absolutely sure that the new database is
also in sync with the 9700 application.Generally speaking,
there is no way to determine whether an offline database that
is about to be restored by the user is in sync with 9700
application.
Therefore, usually the only safe scenario to restore/replace a
database is to restore/replace the database with a good
database backup that must have been taken prior to
performing the new key rotation. The database can only be
restored/ replaced if no key rotation has occurred since
uploading the existing database or since the backup database
was taken.

Warning: If the passphrase is lost, the encrypted data in the
database is unrecoverable. There are no backdoors!

For more information and instructions on how to use the Key
Management Utility, see the MICROS 9700 Encryption Key
Management Utility document.

Secure Default Account Handling
This section contains detailed information on secure default account
handling procedures. These procedures must be followed to prevent
compromised security and maintain Payment Card Industry (PCI)
compliance.
Important Security Warning: The use of default accounts is
not PCI compliant. Therefore, 9700 3.10 SP6 eliminates the
option to operate in a non-compliant fashion by
automatically deleting or disabling the existing default
accounts via the installation / upgrade process.
Disabling or deleting the existing default accounts could
potentially disable functionality in the system where these
accounts were used. However, these default accounts must be
securely disabled or deleted to operate in a PCI compliant
manner.

Previous versions of 9700 3.x installed with four default accounts:
“9700cfg,” “csremote,” “micros,” and “m9700.” MICROS Systems, Inc.
previously advised that these defaults accounts be deleted, renamed, or
disabled. To prevent compromised security and maintain PCI
compliancy, 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 has modified or removed these default
accounts.
The “micros” and “csremote” legacy accounts will no longer be installed.
These accounts have been removed from the installation process as they
are not used and, when not securely deleted, can compromise PCI
compliancy. When upgrading to 9700 v. 3.10 SP6 from a previous
version, these accounts will be disabled after the upgrade process
completes.
The legacy “m9700” and “9700cfg” accounts will be disabled after the
9700 v. 3.10 SP6 installation/ upgrade process completes.
For more information on secure default account handling, see the 9700
Secure Default Account Handling document.

Previously, when a guest signed in using the Signature Capture device, if
the guest name or Room number was incorrect, when the rejection
message came back from the PMS, the guest would have to sign again to
resend information to the PMS.
Now, if incorrect information is sent, a rejection message is returned
from PMS and the guest will be prompted to enter correct information
without having to sign again.

Database
Automated Totals Purging introduced
CR ID#: n/a

The 9700 system now includes automated Totals Purging functionality,
designed to keep 9700 POS databases at a reasonable size as well as to
maintain a reasonable reporting performance level. By default, the totals
purging feature is disabled, however, MICROS strongly recommends
enabling Totals Purging with a retention period of 13 months.
The Totals Purging options are located in the EMC's System Parameters,
on the General Tab, as shown in Figure 13.1. To enable Totals Purging,
check the “Enable Totals Purging” checkbox, and enter a value in the
“Number of Months to Keep Totals.” Again, MICROS recommends
setting the Totals Purging to a retention period of 13 months.

For more information about Totals Purging and reporting performance,
consult the 9700_V300_TotalsPurging.pdf White Paper, available from
www.micros.com.

EMC
Option Bit Search Functionality introduced into EMC
modules

Page 125 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 1
What’s New

In the Menu Item Class module (Figure 1.2), a “Filter” box and “Search
within Context Sensitive Help” checkbox have been added. To filter the
list of option bits, simply begin typing. In the example below, the user
entered the text “print” with the “Search within Context Sensitive Help”
option enabled. The result is that the list box shows all options where the
text “print” appears in either the option bit name or in its context
sensitive help.

MD0003-132
Revision C
November 18, 2008
Page 126 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 1
What’s New

In the Revenue Center Parameters module (Figure 1.3), a “Search” tab
has been created as the second tab of the form. On this tab, a user can
enter text to search, text to exclude from the search, and select the option
to “Search within Context Sensitive Help”. In the example below, the
user entered the text “on d” (probably in an effort to find the “On
Demand Customer Receipts” option). The result is that the Search
Results list box shows all the options where the “on d” text appears in the
name of the option bit.

The Search Results list box shows the name of the list box where the
option originally appears, as well as the number and name of the
option.
Context Sensitive Help can be accessed for the bits in the Search
Results list box.
If the “find results with the text” box is empty, no results will display
in the Search Results list box.

MD0006-065
Revision C
November 18, 2008
Page 127 of 174

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 1
What’s New

The purpose of the “Exclude results with the text” is to refine the
search even further. One example may be that the “Find results with
the text” box has the word “tax”, while the “Exclude results with the
text” box has the word “vat”. This combination will return options
relating to tax, but not options relating to “VAT” tax.
Option bits can be checked/unchecked on either this tab or on the
original tab where the option is located. When an option changes on
one tab, the other tab will reflect the change immediately.
Similarly to the Revenue Center Parameters module, the Employee Class
module (Figure 1.4), also includes a “Search” tab as the second tab on the
form.
On this tab, a user can enter text to search, text to exclude from the
search, and select the option to “Search within Context Sensitive Help”.
In the example below, the user entered the text “menu item”. The result is
that the Search Results list box shows all the options where the “menu
item” text appears in the name of the option bit.

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 1
What’s New

The Search Results list box shows the name of the tab, name of the
list box, and name of the option.
Context Sensitive Help can be accessed for the bits in the Search
Results list box.
If the “find results with the text” box is empty, no results will display
in the Search Results list box.
Option bits can be checked/unchecked on either this tab or on the
original tab where the option is located. When an option changes on
one tab, the other tab will reflect the change immediately.

Dataviewer
Check images contain both close time and posting time
CR ID#: n/a

Check images now contain both the close time and “posting time” when
the check was posted to the 9700 system. This functionality is for checks
that were rung on offline SAR clients, where the check close time and the
posting time to the 9700 system are different. A sample image below:

Ops
Signature Capture devices support custom logos
CR ID#: 21434

Ops workstation clients now support custom logos for signature capture
pads. To use a custom logo, follow these steps:
EMC/Server Configuration
1. In the EMC Device Table, enable the workstation's “Enable Signature
Capture” option.
2. On the 9700 server, create a bitmap logo file.
a) The file needs to be placed into the
9700\xdt3\bitmaps\win32_icons directory.
b) The file must be black and white.

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 1
What’s New

If using Microsoft Paint, choose Image > Attributes, and then
select the Black and White radio button in the Colors group
box.

c) The file size should not exceed 320 x 240 pixels.
d) Name the file for all workstations in the system, or for a specific
Revenue Center (see explanation about the hierarchy in the
Workstation Configuration section):
-

SigCapLogo.bmp - this is the file name that will be used by
all workstations in the system.

SigCapLogo_xxx.bmp - this is the file name that will be used
by workstations in a specific Revenue Center, where “xxx”
represents the Revenue Center number.

Workstation Configuration
1. The workstation must be rebooted before the logo will display on the
Signature Capture Device.
2. A hierarchy exists to determine which logo will display. The example
below shows the logic for a workstation that is in Revenue Center 2.
a) If the file SigCapLogo_2.bmp exists, this will be used as the logo.
b) If the file SigCapLogo.bmp exists, this will be used as the logo.
c) If neither file exists, the default “micros” logo will be displayed.
3. Note that if the Revenue Center of the workstation changes, the new
Signature Capture logo will not be displayed until the workstation has
been rebooted.
4. With the configuration from step #2, all workstations with Signature
Capture pads that are not in Revenue Center 2 will use
SigCapLogo.bmp (if it exists) or the default “micros” logo. The
purpose for the hierarchy is to allow some RVCs to have unique
logos, while the rest of the workstations at the property can use
another logo.

What’s New

Ops/SAR
Menu Item Price Override has the ability to hide the original
price
CR ID#: 22373

Previously, guest checks and customer receipts showed the original Menu
Item Price when an item's price was changed via the Menu Item Price
Override function key. Now, the original price can be suppressed. To
suppress the printing of the original Menu Item Price, enable the new
Menu Item Class option bit, Do Not Print Original Price when using
Price Override.

Weight Price Override function key introduced
CR ID#: n/a

A new function key, 652-Weight Price Override, can now be configured
in the system. This function key allows an item's unit weight to be
overridden. For instance, if a menu item is $4.00/lb., and a user enters 6.5
lbs, the entire price of the item is $26.00. This new function key can be
used to change the $4.00 price of the unit. With the previously-existing
“Menu Item Price Override” function key (641), only the entire price
($26.00) could be overridden.

System
Reopen Closed Check functionality offers RVC prompt and
date selection
CR ID#: n/a

A new option bit has been added to the EMC in the Device Table:
“Prompt for RVC Number when Reopening Closed Check.” This option,
which applies only to WinStation clients, is designed for sites where one
user (such as an accountant or a purser) at one workstation performs
refunds for the entire property. When this option is enabled, the user will
be prompted for the RVC Number, the Check Number, and (if multiple
checks with the same number exist) the calendar date that the check was
closed.

System now supports Japanese Tax Requirements
CR ID#: n/a

Japanese Tax Requirements have now been formally integrated into 3.1

Audit Trail
Command line utility (atrail_b.exe) allows “Yesterday”
report
CR ID#: n/a

Previously, the Audit Trail command line utility (atrail_b.exe) options
were to:
Save the entire audit trail to a text file (“save” argument)
Reset the entire audit trail (“reset” argument)
Save the entire audit trail and reset it (“save_reset”)
Two new command line arguments have been added, that allow report
generation on Audit Trail activity for “Yesterday”.
“save_yesterday” - With this option, activity from “Yesterday” will
be generated to a text file, and the report will not be reset.
“save_yesterday_reset” - With this option, activity from “Yesterday”
will be generated to a text file, and the report will reset.
Because the audit trail can only report on dates (and not specific times),
“yesterday” for atrail_b.exe calculations refers to the calendar date on
which yesterday's business date started. For instance, if yesterday's
business day was from 4am to 4am, atrail_b.exe execution with the
“save_yesterday” option will generate a report from 12am yesterday to
the current second. Therefore, if the “save_yesterday” option is used
every day, some information will be duplicated between two days' reports
(in this example, the 12am-4am Audit Trail activity will show two days
in a row).
Please also read the System Setup Utility enhancement for this service
pack, which allows easy configuration of these new options.

CR ID#:n/a

The Epson TM-T88 IV IP printer is now supported in 3.1 Service Pack 1.

Control Panel Reload requires Employee Class Privilege
CR ID#: 22654

Previously, the Reload button in the Control Panel was accessible to all
EMC users. Now, this button can only be accessed by users in Employee
Classes with the privilege to perform a system reload. The new option bit
is located at Employee Maintenance > Maintenance > Class > Utilities
Tab > Control Panel box > Reload the System from the Control Panel.

SAR
Offline Employee Closed Check Report added to SAR client
CR ID#: n/a

An Offline Check Report has been added for the SAR workstation. When
in Offline Mode, a privileged operator can run Offline Report #4,
Employee Closed Check report.

Offline transactions can print “OFFLINE” trailer on checks
and receipts
CR ID#: n/a

A Revenue Center Parameters Format option bit has been added; “Print
***OFFLINE*** on Offline Guest Checks and Receipts”. When the
option is enabled, the text “***OFFLINE***” will print on guest checks
and customer receipts. If the option is disabled, the printing is
***OFFLINE***.

Online/Offline Check handling rule has been defined
CR ID#: 22905

A check handling rule has now been defined for situations where a check
owned by an offline workstation is picked up and used from an online
workstation. In this situation, the check is now owned by the online
workstation; when the check is being replayed from the offline
workstation, all offline postings to this check will be discarded.

Options added to allow users to enter online/offline modes
without prompting
CR ID#: n/a

Options have been added to the EMC to control the SAR workstation
behavior for entering online and offline modes:

Device Table > Workstation Options > Disable Auto-Online: A
workstation will automatically return to Online Mode if
communications with the server have been reestablished and five or
fewer transactions have been rung offline. By enabling this option,
the workstation will prompt the user to return online, instead of
continuing online automatically.
Device Table > Workstation Options > Go Offline Without
Prompting: When this option is enabled, a workstation will go offline
automatically when communication with the server is lost. When this
option is disabled, the user will be prompted to work offline.
Employee Maintenance > Employee Options > Disable Online
Prompt: Enable this option to prevent this Employee from seeing the
prompt to return online. If this option is disabled, the user will be
prompted to return to online mode when communications have been
reestablished. With this option enabled, this employee can still press
the [Go Online] function key to return to Online Mode, however the
employee will not be prompted to go online when communication has
been reestablished.

“Local Order Receipt” printing is now supported
CR ID#: 18674

Previously, it was not possible to print “Local Order Receipts” from SAR
devices. This functionality is now available. If an Order Device is
programmed as a “Local” order device, a SAR client will print to the
printer selected in the “Local Order Receipt” field. If the “Local Order
Receipt” field is set to 0-None, the Local Order Receipt will print to the
SAR client's physically-attached local printer (if it exists).

9700 Version 3.10 Service Pack 1
What’s Enhanced

System
Service Charge option added for “Gift Certificate Sale”
CR ID#: 23055

A new option bit has been added to the EMC Service Charge module,
“Gift Certificate Sale”. The behavior of this option bit is described in its
context sensitive help: Select this option to create a Service Charge
which can be paid without posting to the system's sales totals. (The
amount can be tracked, if necessary, by a tracking group total.) This
option is similar to #7, “Non-Revenue Service Charge”, except that menu
items may be present on the check in addition to this service charge.
Notes:
1. If this option is enabled, the Service Charge must be programmed as
an “Amount” Service Charge;
2. If a cashier link is required for tendering, a cashier link is also
required to post a non-revenue Service Charge.

Audit Trail
Keyboard Design changes are logged to the Audit Trail
CR ID#: 22866

Previously, changes in the Keyboard Design module were not logged to
the Audit Trail. This has been corrected. Note that changes to Keyboard
Legends will not be logged to the Audit Trail because the legends do not
directly affect workstation operations. Also note that new keyboards
default to Keyboard Workstation Type 7-KWS4.

Mobile MICROS touchscreen revisions report to Audit Trail

CR ID#: n/a

Previously, revisions for the Touchscreen Design and Touchscreen Style
modules for Mobile MICROS reported to the Audit Trail as “regular”
touchscreen edits. This has been corrected.

CR ID#: n/a

Previously, revisions, additions, and deletions of Touchscreen keys were
not logged into the Audit Trail. This has been corrected.

POS/MMH Touchscreen Assignment modules have been

CR ID#: n/a

Any change made in the EMC for the Touchscreen Assignment, POS
Touchscreen Assignment, or MMH Touchscreen Assignment modules is
logged to the “TS Assignment (All Clients)” category of the Audit Trail.
Therefore, the Audit Trail Module selections of POS Touchscreen
Assignment and MMH Touchscreen Assignment are unnecessary, and
have been removed.

Check Print
Performance improved for Check Print (cp8700.exe)
application
CR ID#: 22661

Performance improvements have been made for the Check Print
application (cp8700.exe). Previously, the cp8700 process took several
hours on very large databases. Now, the process completes in under 30
minutes.

Credit Cards
Credit Card batching during PM hours returns correct
results
CR ID#: 22796

Previously, Credit Card batching in Start of Day environments did not
work correctly when running the “yesterday” option during PM hours. In
this scenario, cards from the “yesterday” business day were not actually
batched until the next day's credit card batch. This has been corrected.

Previously, the RDBTracker process may have failed to send updates to

both the date and time values are used when running the query.

DB Conversion
“New DB Version” field text has been changed for clarity
CR ID#: n/a

Previously, the Database Conversion Utility (for 9700 2.x upgrades)
showed the database version as 9700 3.00. This has been corrected; the

Previously, the Menu Item Class option bit #36 was named “Free Repeat

option is now “Repeat Course at Fixed Price Meal Prices.” When this
option is selected, repeatable course items will repeat at Fixed Price Meal
prices. If the option is disabled, courses will repeat at the “regular” menu
item price.

Menu Item Maintenance ignores RVC change to itself
CR ID#: n/a

Previously, a user in the Menu Item Maintenance module could change
the Revenue Center to the currently-active Revenue Center, causing the
module to reload. This action may have caused a lengthy delay for sites
with very large Revenue Centers. Now, the EMC prevents users from
changing to the same RVC.

Menu Item Master records are created with F&B options

Previously, if a Menu Item Master record was created without using

Power on Keyboard field saves in all configurations
CR ID#: 23203

Previously, the Power on Keyboard field in the Device Table could not
save in some database configurations where a large number of Keyboard
records existed and a small number of Touchscreen records existed. Now,
the field is saved in any configuration.

Revenue Center Parameters fields show only valid choices
CR ID#: n/a

The General Tab of RVC Parameters now shows only valid choices for
the following fields, to help prevent programming errors:
Default Bank Loan Tender/Media: Only “Loan” tender media types
are shown in this list.
Automatic Service Charge: Only preset percentage service charges
are available as choices.
Cover Charge: Service charges appear in this list if they are fixedamount service charges, if they do not have the “Non Revenue
Service Charge” option enabled, and if the “Service Charge Adds to
Guest Count” option is enabled.

Tax exempt Tender/Media records can be deleted
CR ID#: 23183

Previously, the EMC prevented deletions of Tender/Media records that
were configured to exempt tax. This has been corrected.

Touchscreen Style modules hold values after tab switching

Keyboard Design deletions check for Power On Keyboard
before delete; performance improved
CR ID#: 22290

Previously, the EMC took approximately 40 seconds to delete one
keyboard record. Now, keyboards are deleted in a 1-4 seconds. Also, the
EMC now prevents a keyboard record from being deleted if the record is
referenced as a “Power On Keyboard” by a Keyboard Workstation.

Check-related modules prevent deletions for items entered on
checks the same day
CR ID#: 22221

Previously, the EMC did not check for current business day activity
before Tenders, Service Charges, Discounts, or Operators were deleted.
Now, a record in these modules cannot be deleted if the record was used
in a transaction for the current business day.

Employee Maintenance additions do not cause EMC crash
CR ID#: 22705

Previously, the EMC would crash with certain database and PC
configurations when adding an Employee in Employee Maintenance,
then adding another employee while the first employee was selected.

On Demand Customer Receipt functionality behavior

CR ID#: n/a

Previously, the On Demand Customer Receipts option did not function as
expected. The correct behavior is that the RVC Parameter option, “On

Notes:
These charts reflect the behavior with the following configuration:

set to ON
-

The setting of this option bit is actually irrelevant when “On
Demand Customer Receipts” for the Revenue Center is
enabled-the workstation will function as though this option is
enabled, regardless of the EMC setting. This is necessary so
the operator has a chance to use the [Print Customer Receipt]
function key.

A [Print Customer Receipt] function key programmed on the
default transaction screen.

A typical database configuration would be as follows:

Appropriate Tender/Media records programmed with “Print
Customer Receipt” enabled.

Revenue Center Parameter option “On Demand Customer
Receipt” disabled.

With this configuration, receipts will always print based on the
Tender/Media configuration; if a Revenue Center requires that
receipts only print after a transaction per customer request, the
“On Demand Customer Receipts” option should then be enabled.

Previously, a price changed during a transaction with the “Change Price
Sub Level” function key (639) would not post to the database correctly,
causing incorrect reports and 8700sql exports. This has been corrected.

Stored Value Card function “Prompt for Program” has been

Previously, the Stored Value Card function to “Prompt for Program” was
not implemented. This has been corrected.

Workstation Reports can function on Totals Periods 10 and

CR ID#: 21532

Previously, workstation reports did not function on Totals Periods 10 or
higher. This has been corrected.

Check transfers between RVCs function properly when using
different check number ranges
CR ID#: 22609

Previously, it was not possible to transfer a check from one Revenue
Center to another when the check number ranges between the two were
not overlapping. For instance, RVC 1 allows check numbers 1000-1999,
and RVC 2 allows check numbers 2000-2999. In that instance, it was not
possible to transfer a check, because the check number from one RVC
was invalid in the other RVC. This has been corrected. Now, the check
number from the original RVC will persist into the new Revenue Center.

Payment rounding does not cause incorrect totals
CR ID#: 22937

Previously, when a check was paid and currency rounding was in use,
totals may have shown incorrect figures. This has been corrected.

Workstation prevents user from paying a check to a
previously-batched authorization
CR ID#: 22756

Previously, the following series of steps would create a check that could
not be batched by the system:
1. User authorizes a credit card on a check
2. User closes the check to another tender
3. A credit card batch is performed by the system
4. The user adjusts the check and pays to the credit card that was
authorized.
Now, this process is not allowed by the system. When a user tries to pay
to the previously-batched authorization (step #4), the workstation will
show an error message and the operation is not allowed.

Changes to VAT rates does not cause incorrect previous

CR ID#: 22526

In all previous versions of 9700, changes to the VAT rate caused the
system to show previous totals using the new VAT rate, instead of the rate
used for the transactions. Now, reports will show the VAT rate that was in

Note

Changes to the VAT rates should only be made when there
are no open checks in the system.

Power cycle after CC Auth does not cause Carried Over
Totals
CR ID#: 22768

Previously, when a workstation lost power after a Credit Card
Authorization, financial reports would show extra checks in the Carried
Over Totals section of the report. This has been corrected.

Tax Exempt Coupons do not cause invalid Charge Tip Totals

Local printing functions after toggling EMC option bit
CR ID#: 22138

Previously, when the status of the EMC option “Enable Local Guest
Check Printing” was changed, a SAR client failed to print local guest
checks until a Credit Card Authorization was printed first. This has been
corrected.

Menu Item Prices align correctly when using Asian fonts
CR ID#: 22315

Previously, menu item prices did not align on the workstation or on guest
checks and receipts when using Asian fonts. This has been corrected. For
WindowsCE clients, the following changes must be made for the font to
be downloaded to the client:
1. Modify the setup.dat file in the
9700\ClientInstalls\CALInstall\Ws4\Packages\WS4SarOps directory.
a) After the line,
TRANSFERFILE,OPS08x10.TTF,\CF\PosClient\cfg\OPS08x10.
TTF, add the following:
TRANSFERFILE,xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,\CF\PosClient\cfg\xxxxxxxx
xxxxxx

replaced with the name of the font file. The three available fonts
are:

c) b.Decrement the Version number (the third line of the file) to
force the workstation updates.
2. The workstations will download the font file, allowing the fix to work

Note that the file size of the font file may cause the workstation to
download its CAL files abnormally slow. Because of this,
MICROS recommends that sites change the setup.dat file after all
clients have received the font file. Simply place a # character in
front of the line added in step 1a. This will prevent the
workstations from downloading the file again.

Serial printers align text properly
CR ID#: 21858

Previously, SAR clients printed a smaller left margin of guest checks and
receipts when printing to a serial printer than when printing to an IDN
printer. Now the margins are the same for both types of printers.

Workstations receive database updates when screen does not

Begin/Pickup Check operation does not check for pending
updates
CR ID#: 22963

Previously, the begin/pickup check operations checked for pending
updates from POSSRV before beginning a check, often disrupting user
operations. Now, SAR clients will not check for updates during the begin
and pickup operations; updates will be processed after transactions.

workstation. This has been corrected.

Closed check adjustment does not lead to incorrect reports

clients-the name of the level changes below the Blue Option Bar, but it
does not display at the top of the screen.

Multiple Check-Splits on one check does not cause incorrect
totals
CR ID#: n/a

Previously, a check split multiple times on a SAR client may have caused
incorrect totals. This has been corrected.

Multiple Menu Item Class changes on large databases do not
