  • Extended sleep/delay logic for future ticketing lines. When API receives the "F LINE PROCESSING STARTED" warning message from AirTicketLLSRS, it will will wait 2000 ms for each future ticketing line that is sent in the AirTicketRQ in order to successfully complete the ticketing transaction.
  • Added a delay before 2nd call to TKT_DocumentServicesRQ - This is done to mitigate cases where multiple tickets were issued but only some of them are visible in the ticketing database, the extra delay of 500 ms aims to mitigate the problem.
  • Added AirTicketRQ.PostProcessing.actionOnBackDatePrice - The API was enhanced to handle `UNABLE TO TICKET STORED FARE - PQ CONTAINS BACK DATE PRICE` ticketing mask. By default, the API will attempt to "R" - Reprice the stored fare, however the user can specify to "O" - Override or "Q" - Quit as well.
  • Extend future line logic with Ticketing Mask detection. - As of now, when future ticketing line processing starts, the API will also react to known ticketing mask messages via SabreCommandLLSRQ.
  • (03/08/2022) Enabled user controlled delays between multiple ticketing transactions as a way to limit 'SIMULTANEOUS CHANGES' error occurrences. Added AirTicketRQ.PostProcessing.TicketingInterval.waitInterval to allow the user to tell the API to wait between subsequent .Ticketing transactions.
  • (03/08/2022) The API will now handle a very specific corner case related to multiple Future Line issuance. If you decide to quit upon encountering so-called 'ticketing masks' (acceptNegotiatedFare, acceptPriceChanges, actionOnBackDatePrice and actionOnPQExpired), system will now take into account already issued Future Ticketing lines commit them to the reservation.
  • (06/28/2022) The API will now re-try the Ticketing command upon encountering the banner message 'VALIDATING CARRIER NOT PRESENT IN ITINERARY' , this applies to Abacus customers.

  • integrate printer address designation/un-designation,
  • manage sessions on behalf of the client application,
  • introduces error handling to ensure the successful issuance of an Air Ticket,
  • return newly issued ticket numbers together with additional details pertaining to specific documents,
  • handle Context change/AAA (modify target city),
  • delete air accounting lines prior to ticketing.
  • (12/07/2022) Resolved an intermittent issue where the API could not undesignate printers due to a gateway error "SC SERVICE UNAVAILABLE". This change introduces additional retry attempts to remedy the situation.
