Team Size 1 Duration 60 Days
Location KANSAS CITY, USA Domain Airlines
Environment Development Language Assembler, Sabretalk, TPFC

Force population is a concept when we forcefully populate the sell failure messages into the block going to a airline/ GDS for the seamless response. There are 3 types of response in Availability namely AVS, Seamless and Cache. The AVS responses are generally refreshed once a month, cache generally 30 min and seamless immediate. When the availability responses are shown from AVS side, they might not show the correct scenario and might result in sell failure. To reduce the number of sell failures, concept of force population was considered. Thereby, when we are sending a seamless message to airline source, populate the empty space in message block with the sell failures recently received.
The functionality is adjoined with some enhanced functions known as POWER PRODUCTS. The power products are developed to give results with more functionalities like low price tickets and time of departure of the flight etc. It could be divided into 3 parts namely
1. Getting the sell failures
2. Inserting them into the blocks being sent.
3.Setting the same for availability, power shopper, DIR and $A entry.

BIP The Project is being initiated to set a bit indicator in BAS that says 'created via insignificant time change' and a corresponding bit in the PIJ.

But when the Itinerary is cancelled, there is no indicator that shows that this has been created via insignificant time change. The project was emphasized to check the code sharing flight for a particular itinerary and setting up a Bit and after en transacting, setting up another bits based on the indicator sign of the previously set bits to be sent to the billing part after ER.
In technical terms role could be divided into 3 parts namely
1. Setting the indicators in the Scheduling Part for code sharing.
2. Updating Schedule, En-transact PNRs.
