How it Works
Example:
The Italian agency does not require any reciprocal servicing from
the Irish agency, so they would give the Irish agency agreement
number 10, which does not allow any functionality.

Business Relationships
Selective Access™ can be established between individual
agencies or groups of agencies, which are referred to as affiliates.
There are four types of Selective Access business relationships.

Affiliate File
It lists the members of the affiliate and the agreements it has with
requesters. Every time the affiliate file is updated, the
headquarters runs Special Affiliate Processing, which updates all
affiliate member’s permission files with the updated information on
the affiliate file.
Summary
The following summarises the business relationships, Selective
Access™ files and steps you could follow when setting up
Selective Access™.
Type: Description:
Business relationships There are 4 main relationships which can exist between:
- Two individual agencies.
- Individual members of a group (affiliate)
- The members to two groups (affiliates)
- The members of a group (affiliate) and individual agency
Selective Access™ files The 4 main files are:
- Agreement file which details the pre-set functions.
- Customiser file which allows the provider to limit the functionality of the
agreement.
- Permission file which is a record of all the provider’s agreements.
- Affiliate file which lists the affiliate members and all the agreements that the
affiliate has with other pseudos.
Steps to set-up Selective The process will vary for each set-up, but these are the general steps:
Access™ 1. Determine what type of business relationship you need to form.
2. Determine what information and functions you need the other agency or
affiliate to access.
3. Select the appropriate agreement from the agreement file.
4. Customise the agreement, if you need to refine it, using the customiser file.
5. Set up the affiliate file, if a group of agencies is involved.
6. Set up the permission file.

2. The STD profile is set as below. Can the user perform Selective Access™ functionality?
a. Yes
b. No
4. Your agency is part of a multi-national chain. Your individual agency is sending a group of
customers to Rio de Janeiro on business. You require an agency in Rio to service your
customers requirements. What type of a business relationship is this?
5. Which type of Selective Access™ file would you display if you wanted to check whether you had
already given a particular pseudo an agreement?

Module 3: The Agreement File
Module Objectives
Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
Describe which functions the agreement file controls.
Display the entire agreement file.
Display a specific agreement.
Display multiple agreements.
Overview
Each agreement has been assigned a number and consists of a
list of possible functions that you may wish to provide to the
requester.
Selective Access 18
Module 3: The Agreement File
Points to note:
The provider agency selects the number of the agreement they
wish to provide to the requester.
When Selective Access™ links two agencies, it is necessary to
have an agreement in each direction, but not necessarily the
same agreement number.
A fill-in format is provided in the system to assist the search for an
agreement.
If a particular agreement is required by an agency, but is not
shown in the table, a request can be made to your helpdesk to
add the required agreement to the table.

Module Review
This exercise will enable you to practice setting up a Selective Access™ agreement, servicing
another agency’s Booking File and using their Client Files. Emulate the pseudo on your card and
write down the entries you used where appropriate.
Part 1
1. Agreement details
Set up an agreement with your neighbour. You are to provide each other with the same facilities,
which are:
Booking File display
Booking File update
Client File display
MAR display
QEB in and out
2. Permission file
When you have located this agreement, add it to your permission file. The agreement should
come into effect immediately, and terminate at the end of the year.
Create a simple Booking File with return flights, AK status. Make a note of the locator.
Assume your customer has now travelled the first part of their journey and whilst abroad visits
your neighbour’s agency and wishes to change the return date to a day later.
Retrieve your neighbour’s Booking File by record locator (as this would be on the ticket), change
the date and queue it back to the owning agency (QEB/xxx).
Client Files
Selective Access 37
Module 4: The Permission File
Part 2
1. Now set up a new agreement with your neighbour. You are to provide each other with Booking
File display only and add this to your permission file.
2. Retrieve your neighbour’s Booking File again by locator. Can you update it?

Module 5: The Affiliate File
An affiliate is formed when a group of agencies, having common
commercial interests, come together to form a business alliance.
Module Objectives
Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
Interpret and describe the items in an affiliate file
Add and delete pseudos from the affiliate file members section
Add agreements to the affiliate file authorisation section
Display affiliate file history
Perform Special Affiliate Processing (SAP)
Overview
The affiliate file is very similar to a permission file and contains:
The pseudo city codes of the members of the affiliate
The detail of the agreement that the affiliate group has among its
own members
The detail of agreements that have been given to other affiliate
groups and individual agencies
Points to note:
An affiliate file is given a unique mandatory affiliate file code
(minimum one, maximum five alpha/numeric characters) and an
optional descriptive name (maximum 25 alpha/numeric
characters).
There is no limit to the number of agencies who may form an
affiliate.
One agency from each affiliate group is designated as the
headquarters of the affiliate. This headquarters must:
build and maintain the affiliate file.
build any required customiser file for the affiliate.
transfer the agreement details into the permission file of each
member of the affiliate by means of Special Affiliate Processing.
There are two sections to an affiliate file:
the members section, formats begin with: PAAFF
the agreement section, formats begin with: PAATH

Module Objectives
Upon completion of this module you will be able to perform the
following:
Display, build, add, change and delete customisers
Display customiser history
Overview
By using a customiser, the provider may determine which:
Booking Files and Client Files the requester may access
Queues the amended Booking Files should fall on
Requester agents may actually access the provider’s
PrivateFares™ accounts and Booking Files
Points to note:
As there may be multiple customiser files, the provider assigns
each file a unique 2-character customiser code and an optional
customiser description to distinguish the customiser files from
each other.
The provider may associate the same customiser file with more
than one agreement in the permission file.
When a customiser is attached to an agreement on the permission
file, only the fields that are set to Y on the agreement are activated
on the customiser file.

decided to set up a business agreement to service each other’s bookings:
Windmill travel regularly sends Philips’ employees to New York whose details are in a
business file called PHILIPS.
Empire travel are sending a group of Coca Cola employees to Amsterdam whose details
are in a business file called COLA.
You and your neighbour should each take the part of one of these agencies.
Complete the customiser form and flowchart at the end of this module, with your own entries.

2. Customiser requirements.
Use the following worksheet to plan these items:
When the requester has serviced a booking, the provider wants it to return automatically
to his queue number 50.
If the requester needs to queue a booking to the provider manually, it should be placed
on queue 55.
• WINDMILL TRAVEL will only allow access to bookings with the identifier (CI.)
PHILIPS and view this business file.
• EMPIRE TRAVEL will only allow access to bookings with the identifier (CI.) COLA
and view this business file.
3. Permission file
Add the relevant agreement to your permission file. The agreement should take effect
immediately, and terminate at the end of the year.
As the requester, imagine that the passenger has travelled the first part of his/her journey
and now wishes to change the return date
Retrieve the Booking File by locator (which would be on the ticket)

process to set up an agreement with the requester affiliate.
1. Select an agreement.
2. Set up a customiser file (optional).
3. Add the agreement to the affiliate file.
4. Perform Special Affiliate Processing (SAP).
Note: The selected agreement number need not be the same for
both affiliates.
Points to note:
Using replace will replace any original agreement numbers that
may be in place between members of the affiliates.
If you use add, any original agreement numbers will remain in
place and an error response will be returned on the
supervisory queue stating that ‘AN AGREEMENT ALREADY
EXISTS BETWEEN’.

Points to note:
This appendix deals with Galileo® agencies servicing bookings
made in Apollo®.
In Apollo, a Booking File is referred to as a Passenger Name
Record (PNR).
Agencies set up for Switchable and/or Global Access can connect
to both Galileo® and Apollo® from one terminal.
Apollo® SAP times are 0800, 1100, 1515 and 2100 Mountain time.
You must switch into Apollo® with the entry: ##1V No switching entries are required
Then switch back to Galileo®: ##1G
A separate Apollo sign-on is required. No Apollo sign-on is required.
® ®
Once switched, in Apollo you may retrieve a PNR, In Galileo , you may retrieve a PNR, Apollo PRO-
PRO-files etc. using the majority of Galileo formats, files etc. using your standard Galileo entries.
known as ‘Common’ formats.
Note: For document production and fare servicing, you
will need to use Apollo formats.
You may view a PNR’s history. It is not possible to view an Apollo PNR history in
Galileo®.
Switchable Access
If your agency does not use Global Access™ or prefers to service
Apollo bookings in the Apollo ® system, then you would use
Switchable Access. You will need to switch into your secondary
system, Apollo®, and sign on before retrieving the PNR.
Global Access™
Global Access unites Galileo® and Apollo® and enables travel
agencies to service effectively the needs of global travellers.
What functionality can I perform in the Galileo system with reference to an Apollo ® agency?

Points to note:
The Apollo® pseudos could be group coded, then Selective
Access™ would not be required.
Agreements are set up in the same way for Apollo pseudos as
they are for Galileo pseudos.
Scenario
Galileo agent (DU6) and Apollo agent (IF3) wish to service each
other’s Booking Files. However, DU6 only wishes IF3 to have
limited functionality of agreement 1 and thus customises the
agreement.
PAPERA/1G@DU6@Galileo Travel/1
Permission Files
The 1G EUROP affiliate has an Apollo member (IF3) and they all
wish to service each other’s booking using agreement 2.
However, the SAP entry only works within the CRS in which it is
entered. Thus duplicate entries need to be made in the Apollo
pseudo in order to complete IF3’s permission tables with the
Galileo members of EUROP.

Permission Files
Response in 1V GK4:
If you wish to receive MIRs, i.e. as the provider, you want to give
other agents permission to send you MIRS, then this requires you
to make different permission or SAP entries which refer to a Global
Permission Table. For these procedures you must refer to your
local Helpdesk.
Galileo agent (EA7) and Apollo agent (N17) sending Global MIRs
EA7 wishes N17 to service their Booking Files but, also to transmit
Global MIRS back to EA7 when necessary. As N17 is an Apollo
pseudo, Global MIRs cannot be transmitted between CRSs.
Therefore EA7 must have a secondary pseudo which will be an
Apollo one (JM1).
The Galileo agent via their Apollo pseudo (JM1) can then receive
MIRs from Apollo N17. An additional global agreement must be
set up between the providing MIR agency (JM1) and requesting
Apollo agency (N17).
The diagram below indicates the entries that can be made by you
for a one to one agreement.

Consolidator Set-up
Travelport allocates a Consolidator City Code to each consolidator
company; this same code is used by all branches of the
consolidator company.
The AAT of each branch of the consolidator agency is set as
follows:
The name of the agency is preceded with C/ in the NAME
field, e.g. C/CONSOL TRAVEL
The Consolidator City Code is located in the CONS field in
the AAT, e.g. CONS-QXX
There is no special set up required for agencies using a
consolidator's services, all they need is to know is the consolidator
city code in order to queue their bookings.
Overview
Consolidator Functionality Enhancement allows both sub-agents
and consolidators to specify which Booking File data can be
viewed during the fulfilment process. There is an Agency Rule
Table providing masking capability between sub-agents and
consolidators.
This enhancement provides the following functionality:
Consolidator and sub-agent are able to view the ticket
number in *HTI (current and historical TINS data display)
when data masking is enabled by either the Consolidator
and/or sub-agent.
Consolidator versus sub-agent able to view net fare data in
*HTI, *HTE/*TEn (E-ticket record display), *FFn/*FFALL
(filed fare display), *HFF (filed fare history display) and
*HTD (ticketing data history display) for Consolidator
issued tickets when data masking is enabled by the
Consolidator.
A consolidator is able to display *HTE/*TEn for tickets they
issued subsequent to a sub-agent fare quote to check fares
when data masking is enabled.
Consolidator and sub-agent able to view net fare data in
Focalpoint (*HTI, *HTE/*TEn, *FFn/*FFALL, *HFF and
*HTD) for tickets they have issued when data masking in
enabled.
Note: Sub-agent branch offices with the same group code and/or
authorized selective access agreements are able to view each
other’s net fare data when data masking is enabled.
Customer Benefit
Secure viewing access of confidential data between
Consolidator and Sub-agent.
Improve workflow efficiency between Consolidator and
Sub-agent.
Reduction in manual processes.
Set Up/Security
AAT Settings
Booking File data masking capability is controlled by the MASK
field. Only Galileo core AATs are updated with this field which is
located in the Agency Descriptor section of the AAT.
It is a YES or NO field.
YES – allows masking capability
NO – inhibits masking capability
Note: The default is set to NO. Changes to the MASK field may
only be made by GSO.

Restriction Table
Sub-agents may specify which Booking File fields they wish to
mask by associating a rule number with a PCC. The rule number
and PCC are stored in a restriction table called the Sub-agent
Control Table. This table is maintained by each PCC or a PCC
may designate a ‘host’ PCC to maintain their table for them.
The host maintenance scenario was established for National and
Multi-National accounts who would benefit from having a single
department/site maintain data masking restriction standards.
Host pseudo city may be added to the Control Table by the
Sub-Agency or Host.
Host must emulate Sub-Agency to add PCC to Agency
Control Table.
Once added to Agency Control Table, the host is not
required to emulate the Sub-Agency in order to perform
maintenance.
A host city is not required to have Selective Access and/or
Group Code affiliation with the PCC it is designated to host.
The host city is required to emulate the PCC in order to
perform maintenance.

Security
Selective Access and Group Code security logic will not apply to
new data masking function. This includes the ability to display,
add or delete data from Consolidator and Sub-agency Control
tables.
Only a Sub-agency or Host city (if assigned) can display, add or
delete data from control tables.
Examples:
*AA – current display both written and delivery
address, does not contain header:
DLVR-GALILEO CENTRE EUROPE*MAIN ENTRANCE*GRD FLT EAST
CORE*KENTON*MIDD*P/HA39SP
ADRS-MS.BONNER*555 FIVE STREET*KENTON*MIDD*P/HA39SP
Customer Examples:
The following examples are based on the assumption that data
masking is enabled by the Consolidator and Sub-agent, net fare
data is not loaded at the sell/ticket level and the fare quote
requestor and ticket issuer are the same.
1. Consolidator and Sub-agent will be allowed to view the ticket
number in *HTI (current and historical TINS data display) when
data masking is enabled by either the Consolidator and/or
Sub-agent.

Enhancement Assumptions
This product enhancement will impact all Galileo core users who
use the Consolidator product.
Data designated as masked, will mask on the ‘main’ Booking File
display as well as historical displays.
The **CONFIDENTIAL DATA EXISTS** banner will display at the
bottom of both the ‘face’ and history of a Booking File display.
If a Booking File field currently displays with a header, the header
will continue to display when the field is designated as masked. If
no header is included in the current display, no header will be
included in display when the field is designated as masked.
A Consolidator and Sub-agency can only view filed fares and
ticketing information that they themselves input.
Fare and Ticketing data will automatically be masked between
agents and consolidators.
Refunds and exchanges can only be done by the pseudo that
originally filed the fare and issued the ticket.
Example:
Note: “NO TAXES APPLY” alert for passenger 3. This message
will display when no taxes are collected.
