Set up Oracle Simphony with Mozrest
Connecting Oracle Simphony requires some configuration in your Simphony environment before you can complete the Mozrest setup. Allow around 15 minutes for the full process.
Before you begin
You'll need administrator access to your Oracle Simphony environment (Reporting & Analytics / EMC) and an active reservation system account.
Step 1: Create a Simphony Transaction Services API account
- Log into Reporting & Analytics → Administration → System → API Accounts
- Click Add API Account
- Fill the form:
- Type: Simphony Transaction Services
- Account Name: e.g.
Mozrest_API - Email: contact email of your Simphony admin
- Authorization Scope: Selected → choose your property and revenue center(s)
- Client Scope: BOTH
- Click Add
- You'll receive a welcome email from Oracle to set your password and access details
Step 2: Enable STS Gen 2 in your EMC configuration
Revenue Centers:
- Go to RVC Parameters → Options → enable 74 – Simphony Transaction Services Gen 2
Workstations:
- Go to Setup → Workstations → General tab
- Enable Simphony Transaction Services (Gen2) Location API
- Enable Simphony Transaction Services (Gen2) Cloud API
- Ensure at least one workstation is configured as POS API Client
Default Transaction Employee:
- Create a system employee (not linked to staff) in Employee Maintenance
- Assign it to the same Revenue Center used for Mozrest
- Note the Employee ID — you'll need it during the Mozrest setup
Step 3: Gather your connection details
Once your API account is created, collect the following information:
| Field | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Enterprise Short Name | Connection Details section of the API account |
| Authentication Server URL | Connection Details section (used to obtain tokens) |
| Application Server URL | Connection Details section (used for API requests) |
| Client ID | Generated when the API account is created |
| Username | API account username |
| Password | Created during the welcome email setup |
| Employee ID | The system employee created in Step 2 |
Step 4: Connect in Mozrest
Open the setup link from your reservation system provider and enter the connection details from Step 3. Mozrest will verify the credentials and connect to your Simphony environment.
Step 5: Select your location and revenue center
Choose the location and revenue center to connect. Then select:
- Tender — how prepayments are recorded (e.g. the tender used for deposits)
- Order Type — typically "Dine-In"
These selections are stored and used automatically for all future reservations.
Step 6: Complete reservation system setup
Depending on your reservation system, you may have an additional step. The setup flow guides you through it.
Step 7: Map your tables
Match your POS tables to the tables in your reservation system. This ensures reservations are sent to the correct table on your POS.
Step 8: Done
Reservations now sync automatically between your reservation system and Oracle Simphony.
