(Doc ID 1980766.1)

Last updated on APRIL 07, 2018

Applies to:

Oracle Retail Point-of-Service - Version 14.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Abnormal behavior occurs in the Oracle Retail Point-of-Service (ORPOS) application when the exchange rate of a foreign currency expires.  When this happens, the POS client application cannot start normally and/or the affected/expired currency cannot be used.

The following situations have been discovered:

 

  1. When attempting to start the client on a date for which a foreign currency expiration date is passed, the ORPOS client application does not start.   The following error appears:
"Unnexpected error have occured"

 

         2. When attempting to use expired foreign currency as tender (i.e., if the expiration occurs after the client application is already opened), the following error occurs:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "CA" not found among available currency types.
