Enhance /dcci/reservation/create with 7PS Command

The purpose of this feature is to allow agents to create a dummy reservation and issue a gate pass for a non-traveling person who needs to accompany a passenger to the gate. 
Now, Digital Connect Check-In supports creation of a PNR for the accompanying person/ people by adding 7PS entry in the dcci/reservation/create service.

Prerequisites

The airline must include the priority code for gate pass in the PRC table, to use the Gate Pass in Interact. The airline must have a dedicated Gate Pass pseudo flight. The ASA Table must be updated by the carrier. 

Limitations

This feature is available only for agent application. It is not available for self-service applications.

Configuration

None


Intelligent /baggage/checkin

Digital Connect Check-In has extended the POST /baggage/checkin service to perform check-in of baggage items based on the results of /baggage/price and /baggage/book services.
To use this functionality, the client must call POST /baggage/checkin either with an empty body or a body with bagTagOption.

Prerequisites

None

Limitations

Configuration

Handle Price Baggage Cache as Optional When Price Baggage Data is not Neccessary

Digital Connect Check-In has improved the dcci/baggage/checkin service and does not log an error message related to a missing cached object when the PriceBaggage cache is optional.

Modification of SSR DOCO (Redress/Known Traveler Number and Visa): Error Handling

In line with IATA requirements, the following fields are mandatory when the users are adding/ modifying the passenger information: 

  • Country code in Redress and in Known Traveler Number 
  • Visa Expiry date  

In accordance with these requirements, SSCI has made these fields mandatory. Now, when the DOCS sent to SSCI do not contain this mandatory data and SSCI returns an error, Digital Connect Check-In provides the user with a dedicated error code COUNTRY_CODE_REQUIRED or EXPIRY_DATE_REQUIRED instead of a generic one.

Prerequisites

None

Limitations

None

[SSDSSCIOS-6871] Workaround for the CKI Issue with DOCS Requirements for INF Passenger Type

In some cases, for an infant passenger, the CKI does not return DOCS requirements for check-in in the RequiredInfoSumList structure, in the POST /v3/cki/passenger/details response. 
In order to minimize impact on the client, Digital Connect Check-In has prepared a following temporary solution: 
When s4ci.feature.document.infantDocsCheck.enabled is turned ON then

  1. Check the PassengerItinerary level RequiredInfoList first and then check if the travel DOCS are required (DOCS/INF); if yes, then mark the infant as ineligible PASSENGER_DOES_NOT_HAVE_REQUIRED_IDENTITY_DOCUMENTS
  2. Otherwise, check if the given infant has no DOCS that is already provided and a TIMATIC check is required. The associated passenger is required to provide travel DOCS (DOCS)and then mark the infant as ineligible PASSENGER_DOES_NOT_HAVE_REQUIRED_IDENTITY_DOCUMENTS
