Frequently asked questions

What 1. What does the following error in the execution logs mean?
à  A Cancelation of a 'Reservation'-order is not allowed.

When cancelling an order, SecuTix does not know if it is a reserved order or a normal order. It tries first to cancel it as a reserved order, then as a normal order. If an order is not a reserved order, the error message above is displayed.

2. Why is there a “Read time out” error in the execution logs?

VWO: No answer from Skidata

Because SecuTix could not connect to the remote Skidata DTA system. The next steps to analyse the problem here are:

1. Run a Read Catalog schedule to see if any data are retrieved. If there is no error, it means that the problem was temporary and is now solved.
2. Check that the URL in field URL is the right URL provided by Skidata. (if the communication between the systems already worked, this step can be skipped)
3. Check that the setup element 2 (File a service request by SecuTix to have the URL whitelisted by the proxy) has been executed. (if the communication between the systems already worked, this step can be skipped)
4. Contact Skidata DTA support to understand if the systems were up at the time of the problem.
5. If none of the following steps explains the problem, contact SecuTix support.

3. What does the following error mean ?

...

 Unable to cancel an order with an order type of "TICKET_RESERVATION”

Same answer as for 1.

4. Why is the execution still set on “OPEN”?

All executions of functions different from Read Catalog are what SecuTix calls daily executions. Those executions are opened dated midnight at the first interaction of the day with Skidata and are closed at the first interaction of the same kind on a subsequent day.

5. Why is it possible to cancel controlled tickets in some interfaces and in other interfaces it is giving an error?

This question concerns Skidata DTA possibilities. SecuTix has no control over the features of that system.

6. Why do I receive the following error and what does it mean?

...

 ERROR [External error] Failed to connect to the external system. (Cancelation of any ticket item of order item "79fd0ab0-6170-11eb-8f33-005056926684" not allowed, because it is already cancelled)

This error message is returned when SecuTix retries to cancel an order already cancelled in Skidata DTA. The order may have been cancelled on Skidata DTA side or SecuTix is processing to a retry. The latter case is a normal case and should raise no alarm.

How can I check for which order the error appeared?

1. How can I know, which customer was concerned in the error?
