System Properties for Eligibility Testing

When setting up eligibility testing, the following system properties settings should be verified before enabling eligibility tests to be run on trip bookings.

System properties used in eligibility testing are found in Tools > System Properties, on the Profile tab.

Table 1. Description of System Property Settings Required for Eligibility Testing
System Property Setting
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Services > Host address Match the host address defined for the Trapeze6 Service Shell.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Services > IP Port Match the IP Port defined for the Trapeze6 Service Shell.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Services > Service Profile Match the Service Profile defined for the DSN.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Perform Eligibility Tests Set this property to Yes.

PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Custom Method Reserved for special use only.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Exhaustive Testing
No

This setting is recommended for most sites.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Exhaustive Condition Testing
No
Testing is limited to tests associated with the selected eligibility condition.
Yes
The combination of conditions and their tests, rather than any individual condition in isolation, determines the outcome. That is, if the eligibility condition selected initially does not result in the trip being allowed, tests for other eligibility conditions associated with the client are also run.

Therefore, no eligibility condition is stamped on bookings when this property is set to Yes.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Show Deny Only
No
The results dialog box appears in all cases.

Trapeze recommends that for initial testing purposes, the results should always be displayed, but when a site puts the feature into production, this property be set to Yes.

Yes
The results dialog box appears only if the trip is denied.
PASS Booking Client > Eligibility Tests > Test Order Specify the order that the system will run eligibility tests. See Specifying Test Order.
Tools > Properties > PASS Booking Client > Use Booking Validation Service

Set this property to No.

If set to Yes, then ensure that the properties in the Booking Validation Service in the Trapeze6 service shell are synchronized with the Trapeze4 Workstation properties. The synchronization feature will then activate whenever you change a property.
