Syntax

TSYSHCBatchMgr

Remarks

This control allows for simple, direct, secure connection to the Vital/TSYS TLS/SSL gateway through a standard Internet connection. This control can be integrated into web pages or stand-alone Point Of Sale applications. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the control, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

The TSYSHCBatchMgr control makes closing batches very easy by adding an additional layer of abstraction between the programmer and the protocol. There is no need to deal with raw sockets, TLS/SSL handshakes, or data packet formatting. The steps to setting up the control and authorizing a transaction are outlined below:

First, set the merchant and POS specific properties with setup information acquired from your member bank or processor. For instance:

  TSYSHCBatchMgr1.GenKey = "gen_key_value"
  TSYSHCBatchMgr1.MerchantId = "merchant_id"
  TSYSHCBatchMgr1.RoutingId = "routing_id"

Next, set BatchNumber to the batch number you wish to close or retrieve details about.

  TSYSHCBatchMgr1.BatchNumber = 1

Finally, submit the transaction by calling one of three authorization methods: CloseBatch, GetDetails, or GetSummary. The following code demonstrates closing a batch:

  TSYSHCBatchMgr1.CloseBatch()

When the control receives a response from the Vital/TSYS servers, the result of the authorization will be displayed in several Response properties. The ResponseCode indicates whether the transaction was approved. The remaining properties provide additional information about the transaction.
