​​​Defects

The following Digital Connect Check-In defects have been fixed for this release.

The following sections explain more details about the new items.

 

Store Details about Manually Priced Charge in AE 

The /baggage/book service for a manually priced charge (selected from the list of available charges) must save the following details for an AE:

  • Rule ID = 1
  • Rule Name = OTHR

These two details will allow the ANCS to calculate the correct charges in the subsequent calculations. 


Note: Other assumptions/ logic related to creating baggage charge in AE remains the same.
Note: This rule must be set on charge provided in /baggage/book request. 

Prerequisites

None

Limitations

None

Assumption

OTHR Rule Name/ ID will override any other Rule Name/ ID available for an AE.

Configuration

Enhance Logic for Selecting Baggage Segments in Baggage Calculation Process

Digital Connect Check-In validates and groups segments which must be sent to baggage calculator. Currently, the existing logic is modified to ensure that a flight segment which is past STD (Scheduled Time of Departure) and is still open for check-in is included in the group that is eligible for check-in.   
 

Prerequisites

None

Limitations

None

Configuration

 

Property Name Description Example
Value		 Data
Type
s4ci.feature.pricingConfiguration.useConnectingSegments.enabled When enabled the first group of connecting segments (OB, RT) is used to calculate the baggage charges. Otherwise, the segments that are eligible for check-in according to Digital Connect Check-In rules are used.
Default is [true]  

True

 Boolean

Enhance Segment Grouping in/ passenger/ details for IATCI Segments

Digital Connect Check-In has a functionality to group segments, in the reservation based on the connectivity/ information on return flights. This enhancement allows including IATCI segments in the groups, even if there is no connection (no OB, IB, RT edit code).  

This enhancement will work in stateful and stateless POST /dcci/passenger/details service

Internal Optimizations of Passenger Update Flow

As part of Sabre Group Check-In Optimization project, the Passenger update flow is modified. Internally, Digital Connect Check-In will update the passenger contact details, for example, phone number along with the passenger-provided information like emergency contact details. This change will reduce the reservation update error rate, due to multiple updates to the reservation that are scheduled at the same time. This change is transparent for service consumers and does not require any API changes.
 

Prerequisites

None

Limitations

None

Configuration

N/A

Ancillary SSR text (structured/ free text) not saved during ancillary/ book

Customer Tracking #:

N/A

Sabre Tracking #:

CSSDC-2105

Description:

During Ancillary booking, the SSR free text is passed through the specialServiceDescription{} field in the dcci/ancillaries/book request but it is not sent in UpdateReservationRQ and thus not added and saved in AirExtra. 

Resolution:

The structure text details are not added to the AirExtra. Digital Connect Check-In added mapping in the SpecialServiceDescription that maps the SSR text and sends through the UpdateReservation, to store in AirExtra.

Programs/Modules Affected:
