Module 1: Introduction

Course Materials
The Selective Access™ Course Book provides an area to take
notes, write down entries and complete exercises. It is designed
to be used as a learning tool during class. Once you have
completed the Selective Access class, use this course book as a
reference guide back at your office.

Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
 Describe how Selective Access™ benefits an agency.
 Display and interpret the agreement file.
 Update and add agreements to the permission file.
 Build and process customiser files.
 Interpret an affiliate file and add basic affiliate agreements.

What is Selective Access™


The Selective Access™ product allows you to provide service to
your customers no matter where they go – all over the country or
throughout the world. You designate other Galileo® and/or Apollo®
agencies who will be allowed to update your customer’s Booking
Files.

You decide exactly which customer information and functions the


other agencies need to access. For example, you can permit
another agency to display and update specific Booking Files, while
denying access to Booking Files for your customers who are not
travelling to that destination.

Features and Concepts


Listed below are some of the important features and concepts of
Selective Access™.
Relationships may be between one or numerous agents.
Relationships may be between Galileo® and Apollo® users.
You may customise the agreement by giving access to only certain
functionality.
You may allow only certain individual agents in that office (pseudo)
to service your customer’s bookings.

8 Selective Access
Module 1: Introduction

Other Options for Sharing Information


Before deciding exactly what business relationship you require
with an agency or agencies you should consider the other Galileo ®
sharing mechanisms.

Group Coding

Group coding is primarily designed to link together individual


agencies who are branches of the same company or organisation.

Agencies sharing the same group code number are permitted to


access each other’s data, including Booking Files, Client Files,
queues and message queues.

Group coding is predominantly used by multi-branch agencies.

Consolidator

This functionality allows communication between agencies and a


consolidator, regardless of the fact that they may have separate
group codes, or be part of a Selective Access network.

The originating agent creates a Booking File and queues it to the


consolidator’s “queuing city”. Once actioned, the Booking File
may be returned to the originating agency, or ownership may be
assumed by the consolidator (depending on the queuing input by
the originating agency).

Ad-hoc Data Sharing

Ad-hoc data sharing allows two agencies to share Booking File


data for the purposes of ticketing.

The ad-hoc agency may set up a business agreement with a


Selective Access agency, or with a non-Selective Access agency.

If an agency is group coded, it may set up an ad-hoc data sharing


agreement with another agency, without affecting its group coding.

The non-ticketing agency is required to communicate the Booking


File record locator to the ticketing agency, in order for them to be
able to retrieve it.

10 Selective Access
Module 2: Getting Started

Before you set up Selective Access™ agreements, you need to


decide which information to share and what types of business
relationships to establish with your branches or other agencies. In
addition, you need to know about the types of Selective Access™
files and how they work together.

Module Objectives
Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
 Identify security implications.
 Describe the differences between a provider and a requester.
 Choose the applicable business relationship for your needs.
 Give an overview of the different types of Selective Access™
files.

Security
The OTH AUTH field on the first page of the STD profile
determines whether Selective Access™ functionality may be
performed.

The fourth character in this field must be set to Y:

Points to note:
You will not be able to see this field if all characters are set to N.
However, you can see it once one of the characters is set to Y.
You do not have to be a secondary authoriser.

Selective Access 11
Module 2: Getting Started

Providers and Requesters


In every Selective Access™ relationship there is a “provider and a
“requseter”
 The provider is the agency that grants the other agency access
to its functions. They provide information.
 The requester is the agency that is granted access to the other
agency’s functions. They request information.

How it Works

The provider selects a pre-set agreement, indicating exactly which


functions they will allow the requester to access. In order for
Selective Access™ to work, there must be an agreement in each
direction. In other words, each agency acts as a provider, as well
as a requester. In some cases both agencies select the same
agreement and give each other access to the same types of
information; in other cases, each agency selects different
agreements.

Example:

An agency in Dublin may require an agency in Rome to service


Booking Files for a group of pilgrims travelling from Ireland to Italy.
The Irish agency could give the Italian agency agreement number
15, which allows the Italian agency to access the Booking Files for
the Irish group members.

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.

Shared Information

Selective Access™ allows you to provide information and request


access associated with the following products:
 Booking Files
 Client Files
 Queues
 Document production
 MIRs
 PrivateFares™
 Custom Check™

12 Selective Access
Module 2: Getting Started

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.
The following is a list of these relationships and examples of each.

Business Relationships Between Two Individual Agencies

When a Galileo® or Apollo® agency sets up a Selective Access™


relationship with any other Apollo or Galileo agency, they form the
simplest type of Selective Access™ relationship. This may be
done as a short-term or long-term relationship.

Example: – Short term relationship

An example of a short-term relationship is an agency that sends a


large number of customers to the Olympics. They require a local
representative who can tend to last minute changes and ticket
reissues once the customers arrive at their destination.

Example: – Long term relationship

A long-term relationship can be established for an agency in


Sydney that has a corporate account with offices in Sydney and
Canberra. Since executive officers frequently travel from Sydney
to Canberra, the agency sets up a Selective Access relationship
with an agency in Canberra that provides service to executives
when necessary.

Business Relationships Between Members of an Affiliate

When there are several agencies or branches of one agency that


need to have the same relationship with each other, they can form
an affiliate.

Example:

An example of a relationship between members of an affiliate is


one where branches of one agency decide to give full access to
their Booking Files to each other, and allow them to display and
move information from Client Files. But they decide not to allow
the other affiliate members to build, change, or delete Client Files
of other affiliate members.

Selective Access 13
Module 2: Getting Started

Buisiness Relationships Between Two Affiliates

When one group of agencies needs to do business with another


group of agencies, each group forms an affiliate. The two affiliates
set up a Selective Access™ relationship with each other.

Example:

An example of this arrangement is an affiliate of United Kingdom


agents who send frequent tour groups to South Africa. An agency
with branches throughout South Africa forms an affiliate to provide
service to the tour groups when they visit the various South African
cities.

Buisiness Relationships Between an Affiliate and an Individual Agency

When a group of agencies need to do business with one agency,


they can form an affiliate.

Example:

An example of this arrangement is a twenty-four hour agency that


contracts with a group of agencies to handle evening and
weekend phone calls. The affiliate gives the twenty-four hour
agency access to Booking Files, Client Files, queuing, and
PrivateFares™ accounts.

Selective Access™ Files


Selective Access™ consists of the following four files:
 Agreement file
 Customiser file
 Permission file
 Affiliate file

14 Selective Access
Module 2: Getting Started

Agreement File

Galileo International builds and maintains the agreement file.

The agreement file is a list of pre-set agreements. An agreement


is a list of functions, (e.g. updating Booking Files, Client Files,
PrivateFares™, etc.) that a provider allows a requester to access.

The functions accessible for each agreement are different to those


of any other agreement. Galileo International has already set up
agreements for the most typical Selective Access™ business
relationships.

Customiser File

The provider builds and maintains the customiser file.

The customiser file allows the provider to take an agreement and


customise it.

Example:

The selected agreement may allow the requester to display,


update, and queue the provider’s Booking Files. The provider may
designate on the customiser file, which Booking Files the
requester may work with, and which queue the Booking Files
should be routed to. Each provider may have several customiser
files.

Note: Use of the customiser file is optional.

Permission File

The provider builds and maintains the permission file.

The permission file defines the business relationship between the


provider and requester. It specifies the requester, the agreement
number and customiser, and effective dates. Each provider has
one permission file, but can list several business relationships on
it.

Selective Access 15
Module 2: Getting Started

Affiliate File

The headquarters of an affiliate builds and maintains the 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.

1. Do you have to be a secondary authoriser to perform Selective Access™ functionality?

2. The STD profile is set as below. Can the user perform Selective Access™ functionality?
a. Yes
b. No

3. An agency is both the provider and requester.


a. True
b. False

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?

Selective Access 17
Module 3: The Agreement File

The agreement file is a table built by Galileo ®, which lists a variety


of agreements that might be required in a business relationship.
Before putting business relationships into effect, you must decide
which agreement number you are going to provide to the other
agency (requester).

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.

You can allow or deny the requester access to the following


functions:
 Displaying, updating, and creating Booking Files
 Queuing Booking Files at end transact
 Displaying, printing, updating, creating, and removing business
and personal Client Files / PRO-files
 Displaying and updating agency files
 Sending and accepting queued Booking Files and supervisory
messages
 Issuing documents from Booking Files
 Sending Global MIRs
 Displaying and using PrivateFares™ accounts
 Building and removing Custom Check™ rules

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.

Selective AccessTM agreement file formats begin with:

Displaying a Specific Agreement


By displaying a specific agreement, you can focus on the exact
functions permitted for that agreement without viewing other
agreements that do not apply.

There are two ways to display a specific agreement:


 By agreement number(s)
 By agreement functions using the fill-in-format

By Agreement Number

When you display an individual agreement, the headings which


used initials in the entire agreement file display, e.g. BF D for
Booking File display, use longer abbreviations in the specific
agreement display, BF DIS. Thus making the agreement easier to
read.

When to use

Use this format when you already know the agreement number
you want to view.

Module 4: The Permission File

The provider builds and maintains the permission file. Each


agency has one permission file, which contains the details of all
agreements that the provider has with requester agencies. In
order to activate a business relationship through Selective
Access™, both parties must set up an agreement with each other
in their respective permission files.

Points to note:
This module refers to Galileo® agents forming agreements with
other Galileo agents. For details regarding Galileo ® agents
forming agreements with Apollo® agents, see Appendix C:

Module 4: The Permission File

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.

Booking File Servicing

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).

Notice what queue the Booking File falls on. _________________________________________

Client Files

Display your neighbour’s agency file: C*xxx/

3. Ignore the Booking File and delete the agreement ____________________________________

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.

An affiliate file must be created to specify the detail of the


agreement that the affiliate group has among its own members.
Subsequent agreements may be added to this affiliate file if the
affiliate group sets up Selective Access™ agreements with other
affiliate groups or with individual agencies.

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

The Affiliate Members Section


The affiliate is built and maintained by the headquarters. The only
action required by the affiliate members is to designate the
headquarters. After this, no other action is required.

Caution! Prior to the Special Affiliate Processing (SAP), affiliate


members can be added and deleted with ease. For the correct
procedure after SAP, refer to Appendix A: Step-by-Step
Procedures and/or Appendix B: Flowchart Procedures.

Designating Headquarters

In each pseudo, the agency must designate the headquarters


pseudo of the affiliate of which they are a member.

With regard to the headquarters, individual pseudos may:


Designate, display and delete the headquarters

When to use

The individual pseudo must designate the headquarters prior to


the Special Affiliate Processing batch running. If they do not do
this, they will be left out when the agreements are entered in the
permission files for each member, i.e. their permission file will be
blank.

Points to note:
The pseudo who did not designate headquarters will still be ‘in’ all
the other members’ permission files.
An error message will appear on the supervisory queue of the
headquarters, informing them of which pseudo did not designate
them as headquarters.

Affiliate file history is maintained for 30 days. As per normal
Booking File history, the latest action is at the top of the display.
The history often displays what the item was before it was
changed.

When to use

You can check history to see what recent changes have been
made and who made them. You may then wish to reinstate
members or agreements.

Module 5: The Affiliate File

Special Affiliate Processing (SAP)


Special Affiliate Processing (SAP) transfers the detail of
agreements contained in the authorisation section of the affiliate
file, into the permission file of each member of the affiliate.

The SAP entry is one of the most complex to understand,


however, once grasped, you have the key to Selective Access™.

When

It is a time-initiated batch utility that runs six times a day, seven


days a week. Processing times are:
0100, 0400, 0800, 1100, 1515, and 2000 GMT/UTC

Note: These times can vary slightly.

Why

The SAP batch utility combines entries made for an affiliate, so


that actual processing time is reduced. It saves the headquarters
having to make individual PAPERA entries on behalf of all its
members.

After each processing time, a message will be directed to the


supervisory message queue to confirm the completion of the entry,
and to advise of any errors found during processing.

Who

This process is carried out by the headquarters of the affiliate,


after the relevant agreements have been added to the appropriate
affiliate file.

A similar procedure is undertaken by an individual agency when it


sets up an agreement with an affiliate.

Special Affiliate Processing formats begin with the identifier:


PASAP

SAP Table

SAP entries are stored in the SAP table, and processed at the
next batch time. The table displays pending entries, and those
that are currently being processed.

When to use

Display the table if you wish to check the entries that are waiting.

Points to note:
 An asterisk (*) before the PASAP entry indicates the entry is currently being processed.
 All PASAP entries must have the pseudo before the affiliate name. This is required as there is only one
global table where all entries are stored – you can just view your entries. If there was no pseudo, the
®
Galileo system would not know where the affiliate details were stored.

Selective Access 57
Module 5: The Affiliate File

Adding

SAP entries add new agreements from the affiliate file into the
member’s permission file. However, a SAP add entry will not
override or replace any existing agreements that pseudos have
with each other.

When to use

Use a SAP add entry only when:


A completely new affiliate is created and none of the members
were previously using Selective Access™.

How to use

PASAPAEA7@EUROP/EA7@EUROP
Input: Description:
PASAPA Primary Access SAP Add

Module 5: The Affiliate File

Explanation

What actually is this entry doing?

All members of EUROP are giving all the other members of


EUROP agreement 2. This entry puts all the members (pseudos)
of EUROP into each permission file of the members of EUROP,
agreement 2. It is equivalent to each of the members of EUROP
individually making the entries:
In EA7: PAPERA/XC3@VIENNA TRAVEL/2
PAPERA/39CC@ATHENS TRAVEL/2
PAPERA/XX9@ZURICH TRAVEL/2
In XC3: PAPERA/EA7@LONDON TRAVEL/2

PAPERA/39CC@ATHENS TRAVEL/2

Summary:

Often affiliate files consist of over a 100 pseudos. So the PASAP


entry saves time and ensures accuracy.

Selective Access 59
Module 5: The Affiliate File

Replacing

SAP replace entries override existing agreements in the


permission file with updated agreements from the affiliate file. The
replace entry also adds new agreements if none exists.

When to use

Use a SAP replace entry when:


You are forming a new affiliate but some of the members already
have agreements in place with various pseudos. Using
replace instead of add will ensure all members have the
correct agreement.
You need to change the established agreement number. The
authorisation section of the affiliate file will need to be changed
and then a replace SAP will override existing, old agreements.

How to use

PASAPREA7@EUROP/X3N@MIDEA
Input: Description:
PASAPR Primary Access SAP Replace
EA7@EUROP The agreement number in the authorisation
section that affiliate EUROP as the provider
gives to…

Module 5: The Affiliate File

Explanation

What actually is this entry doing?

EUROP affiliate

All members of EUROP are giving all members of MIDEA


agreement 1. This entry puts all the members (pseudos) of MIDEA
into each permission file of the members of EUROP, agreement 1.
It is equivalent to each of the members of EUROP individually
making the entries:
In EA7: PAPERA/DZ2@BAHRAIN TRAVEL/1

PAPERA/XN9@DUBAI TRAVEL/1
In XX9: PAPERA/DZ2@BAHRAIN TRAVEL/1
PAPERA/XN9@DUBAI TRAVEL/1

MIDEA affiliate

The headquarters for MIDEA (X3N) would then make their PASAP
entry saying ‘all members in MIDEA want to give all members in
EUROP , agreement 214’:
PASAPRX3N@MIDEA/EA7@EUROP

This entry is the equivalent to the members in MIDEA making the


individual entries:
In DZ2: PAPERA/EA7@LONDON TRAVEL/214
PAPERA/XC3@VIENNA TRAVEL/214
PAPERA/39CC@ATHENS TRAVEL/214
PAPERA/XX9@ZURICH TRAVEL/214

Summary:

The PASAP entry automatically does all this. Once agreements


are in place in both directions, the agents may service each other’s
Booking Files.

Deleting

SAP delete entries delete agreements from the permission files,


i.e. the entry will remove the pseudo(s).

When to use

Use a SAP delete entry when:


You no longer wish to have an agreement between your own or
another affiliate.
A member leaves your affiliate or an affiliate with whom you have
an agreement.

How to use

Explanation

What actually is this entry doing?

EUROP affiliate

All members of EUROP want to delete XX8. This entry deletes


XX8 from each permission file of the members of EUROP. It is
equivalent to each of the members of EUROP individually making
the entry:

Cancelling

The SAP cancel entry deletes the pending entry from the SAP
table.

Note: If an entry has been processed or is being processed (*), it


cannot be cancelled.

When to use

You have made an error in your PASAP entry and no longer wish
it to be processed.

How to use

Follow these steps to delete an entry:


1. Display the PASAP table PASAP*

an asterisk (*). Or to ignore deletion, Ctrl+W.

Supervisory Message Queue

After each batch processing time, a message will be directed to


the supervisory queue to confirm the completion of the entry and
to advise of any errors found during processing.

The supervisory queue should always be checked after a PASAP


entry has been processed.

64 Selective Access
Module 5: The Affiliate File

Successful transfer

The response below confirms that the PASAPR entry was


successful; maybe completely or maybe only partially. You must
still check all your supervisory queue messages for any other
individual errors.

Headquarters not designated

This response indicates that a pseudo did not designate


headquarters:

The result of this message will mean that XC3’s permission table
will contain none of the EUROP pseudos, i.e. XC3 has given no
agreements to EUROP.

However, the other pseudos in the EUROP affiliate will contain


XC3 as they have successfully given the agreement to XC3.

The agencies will not be able to work with XC3 until the PASAPR
is repeated.

Correction

To correct this, follow these steps:


1. Emulate the ‘offending’ agency, XC3, and designate the
headquarters: PAHDQA/EA7
2. Emulate back to the headquarters, EA7 and repeat the
PASAPR entry: PASAPREA7@EUROP/EA7@EUROP

Selective Access 65
Module 5: The Affiliate File

Different agreements exist

This response confirms that EA7 has already given an agreement


to XC3, 39CC and XX9, which is different to the agreement
contained in the authority section for the affiliate EUROP:

This would be where a PASAPA (add) has been used, when a


PASAPR (replace) should have been used to override existing
agreements. The PASAPA has been ignored and it is necessary
to repeat the PASAP using R (replace).

Affiliate error

This response indicates that an agreement has not been added to


the authority section for one of the affiliates:

Module 6: The Customiser File

The provider builds and maintains the customiser file. Each


agency can have numerous customiser files, which can be used
with multiple agreements. The customiser file is optional and
takes an agreement to a more refined level.

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.

Building a Customiser
The format to build a customiser file has two parts. The first part
includes basic information, which identifies the action and names
the customiser file. The second part includes each function you
wish to customise, and the customised information. If you want to
customise several functions, the format can be very long.

When to use

Build a customiser when you wish to customise or limit the


functionality of an agreement, which you are about to give to a
requester.

How to use

The following format would have built the example explained on


the previous pages:

the previous field. To activate the customiser field, select an
agreement with the corresponding agreement file fields set to Y.

The following table lists the fields and instructions on how to


complete them.

Field(s) Within a Customiser

You may delete one or multiple fields within a customiser.

When to use

There are two reasons to delete customiser fields.


 You can delete a specific field in a customiser file when you no
longer want to restrict it. For instance, if you have granted
Selective Access authority to one of the requester’s agents
and now want to grant authority to all agents you can
accomplish that by deleting the AID field.
 You can delete a specific field if it is incorrect. Then you can
add the field again with the updated information. For instance,
if the PrivateFares™ account code was entered incorrectly you
can delete the FAC field, and then add the correct
PrivateFares account code using a customiser file add format.

Module Review

This exercise will allow you to customise a Selective Access™ agreement.

Two agencies, WINDMILL TRAVEL of Amsterdam, and EMPIRE TRAVEL of New York have
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.

Use the following information to choose an appropriate agreement, decide what


customisation is needed, and enter it in your permission file.

Complete the customiser form and flowchart at the end of this module, with your own entries.

4. Agreement details
The agreement should allow the requester to:
 Display and update Booking Files
 Display and print your business and personal files
 Display your agency file
 Queuing of Booking Files should be possible to and from the requester, as should
supervisor queue messages

 The agreement should allow the provider to:

 Setting up an agreement
 Deleting an agreement

Selective Access 96
Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Setting Up an Agreement

In this scenario, EA7 (Head Office) and the X3M (Esso Implant)
need to be able to share Booking Files for servicing purposes.

Setting up an agreement is a 3-step process:


1. Select an agreement.
2. Set up a customiser file (optional).
3. Add an agreement to the permission file.

Step 1 – Select the agreement

Each agency, as provider, may select the same or different


agreements.

Both agencies

Decide which functions you wish to allow the requester. To assist


you use one or all of the following:
The agreement fill-in-format: PAAGRF
The list of agreements: PAAGR*

Step 2 – Set up a customiser file (optional)

If a customiser is not required, go to the next step.

Both agencies

If you wish to customise your agreement either:


Check if you have an existing customiser you wish to use:
PACUS*
Build a customiser file using the following format:
PACUSB/ES@ESSO/QET89/QEB80/AID-ZXX8FB/CIDESSO
/BARESSO/ PAR-ESSO-CHIEF/FACESSO/FAI-ZXX8FB

Step 3 – Add the agreement

In EA7

Add an agreement to the permission file, using the following


format:
PAPERA/X3M@ESSO IMPLANT/49/ES/DIS31DEC01

In X3M

Add an agreement to the permission file, using the following


format:
PAPERA/EA7@HEADOFFICE/2/DIS31DEC01

Selective Access 97
Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Deleting an Agreement

In this scenario, the Esso contract has now been taken over by
another agent. The agreement between EA7 and X3M is no
longer required.

Deleting the agreement is a 2-step process:


1. Delete the customiser file.
2. Delete the agreement from the permission file.

Step 1 – Delete the customiser file

If a customiser has been used, review the details and delete if it


was built just for this agency. However, if the customiser is a
generic one then leave it in place and go to the next step.

Both Agencies

Delete the customiser file using the following format:

Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Between Members of an Affiliate


This is where one or more agencies wish to work together to
service or part-service each other’s Booking Files.

This section describes procedures for:


 Setting up an agreement
 Adding a new member
 Deleting a member
 Changing an agreement number
 Deleting the agreement

Setting Up an Agreement

A group of agencies come together to form a business alliance,


and set up an arrangement whereby they will service the needs of
each other's clients when they are travelling in each other's
countries. They therefore form an affiliate.

The agencies are:


London Travel in the UK (EA7)
Paris Travel in France (XC3)
Athens Travel in Greece (39CC)
Zurich Travel in Switzerland (XX9)

They decide to name the affiliate EUROPEAN TRAVEL, and give


it the affiliate file code EUROP.

Setting up an agreement is a 5-step process:


1. Designate headquarters.
2. Select an agreement.
3. Set up a customiser file (optional).
4. Create the affiliate file and add the authorisation.
5. Run Special Affiliate Processing (SAP).

Selective Access 99
Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Step 1 – Designate headquarters

All members of the affiliate must designate their headquarters as


EA7. It is not necessary for the headquarters to designate
themselves.

In XC3, 39CC and XX9

Designate EA7 as the headquarters:


PAHDQA/EA7

Points to note:
If a member does not designate the headquarters, when the SAP
takes place they will be missed out, i.e. their permission file will be
blank but they will be in the other permission files for the other
members.
An error message will be returned on the headquarters
supervisory queue.

Step 2 – Select the agreement

The affiliate members first decide upon the agreement number that
is most appropriate to their situation – all must agree the same
number. Use one or all of the following:
The agreement fill-in-format: PAAGRF
The list of agreements: PAAGR*

Step 3 – Build the customiser (Optional)

If a customiser is not required, go to the next step .

In EA7 (Headquarters)

If a customiser was required it would always be built in the


headquarters:
Check if you have an existing customiser you wish to use:
PACUS*
Build a customiser file using the following format: PACUSB/ …

100 Selective Access


Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Step 4 – Create the affiliate file

If this is a new affiliate file, then the headquarters will add the
members and the agreement number which will create the affiliate
file.

In EA7 (Headquarters)

The headquarters builds:


The affiliate members section: PAAFFB/EUROP@EUROPEAN
TRAVEL/EA7@LONDON TRAVEL+XC3@PARIS TRAVEL
+39CC@ATHENS TRAVEL+XX9@ZURICH TRAVEL
Note: In this example the headquarters is in the affiliate. This
will allow them to test that sharing Booking Files is working
successfully. If you do not wish to be in the affiliate, omit your
pseudo.
The authorisation section to specify the details of the agreement
that the affiliate has among its own members:
PAATHA/EUROP/EA7@EUROP/2

Step 5 – Perform Special Affiliate Processing

The SAP entry will copy the agreement specified in the


authorisation section of the affiliate file, into the permission file of
each of the affiliate members.

In EA7 (Headquarters)

In case any members have been using Selective Access™ and


could have conflicting agreements, use R to replace:

from EUROP.
1. Run Special Affiliate Processing (SAP).
2. Delete the departing member from the affiliate file.
3. Delete the headquarters.

Step 1 – Perform Special Affiliate Processing

SAP is performed to delete the departing member from the


permission files of the affiliate members.

In EA7 (Headquarters)
Use D to delete: PASAPDEA7@EUROP/DU6

Warning! The SAP must run before you proceed to the next step.

Step 2 – Delete the departing member’s pseudo city code

The pseudo city code (DU6) of the departing member must be


deleted from the affiliate member’s section of the affiliate file
EUROP.

 Setting up an agreement
 Adding a member to an affiliate
 Deleting a member from an affiliate
 Deleting an agreement

Setting Up an Agreement

Affiliate codes EUROP and MIDEA decide to form a business


relationship with each other.

EUROP affiliate

EA7 is the headquarters of EUROP (EUROPEAN TRAVEL) and


makes the entries on behalf of its members. The members are:
London Travel (EA7)
Paris Travel (XC3)
Athens Travel (39CC)
Zurich Travel (XX9)

MIDEA affiliate

X3N is the headquarters of MIDEA (MIDDLE EAST) and makes


the entries on behalf of its members. X3N is not a member. The
members are:
Bahrain Travel (DZ2)
Dubai Travel (XN9)

Both affiliates are the provider and requester. Use the following
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).

106 Selective Access


Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Step 1 – Select an agreement

Each affiliate decides as a provider, how much access it wishes to


allow to the other affiliate as requester, and each selects an
agreement number that satisfies their business requirement.

Use one or all of the following:


The agreement fill-in-format: PAAGRF
The list of agreements: PAAGR*

Note: The selected agreement number need not be the same for
both affiliates.

Step 2 – Build the customiser (Optional)

If a customiser is not required, go to the next step.

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

If a customiser was required it would always be built in the


headquarters:
Check if you have an existing customiser you wish to use:
PACUS*
Build a customiser file using the following format: PACUSB/ …

In X3N (MIDEA headquarters)

If a customiser was required it would always be built in the


headquarters:
Check if you have an existing customiser you wish to use:
PACUS*
Build a customiser file using the following format: PACUSB/ …

Step 3 – Add the authorisation to the affiliate file

The headquarters agency of each affiliate adds the agreement that


their affiliate is giving to the other affiliate, and a customiser file if
applicable, to the authorisation section of their affiliate file.

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

As a provider, EA7 enters the agreements it wishes to give the


MIDEA affiliate:
PAATHA/EUROP/X3N@MIDEA/1

In X3N (MIDEA headquarters)

As a provider, X3N enters the agreement it wishes to give the


EUROP affiliate (include a customiser and dates as appropriate):
PAATHA/MIDEA/EA7@EUROP/214

Selective Access 107


Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Step 4 – Perform Special Affiliate Processing

The headquarters agency of each affiliate performs the SAP entry


to copy the detail of the agreement that their affiliate is providing to
the other affiliate, into the permission file of each of its own
members.

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

EA7 EUROP (provider) wishes to give X3N MIDEA (requester) the


agreement number in the authorisation section :
PASAPREA7@EUROP/X3N@MIDEA

This entry transfers the detail of that agreement into the


permission files of the affiliate members of EUROP.

In X3N (MIDEA headquarters)

X3N MIDEA (provider) wishes to give EA7 EUROP (requester) the


agreement number in the authorisation section :
PASAPRX3N@MIDEA /EA7@EUROP

This entry transfers the detail of that agreement into the


permission files of the affiliate members of MIDEA.

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’.

108 Selective Access


Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Adding a Member

Madrid Travel (DU6) decides to join the affiliate, EUROP. In this


scenario, EUROP has an agreement between its own members
and with another affiliate MIDEA.
The process is as follows:
1. Designate headquarters.
2. Add the new member to the affiliate file.
3. Run Special Affiliate Processing (both affiliates).
Note: In this example EUROP only has one agreement with
another affiliate (MIDEA). If EUROP had more agreements with

Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Deleting an Agreement

Affiliate EUROP and affiliate MIDEA decide to end their business


relationship. In this scenario, EUROP has an agreement between
its own members and an agreement with the affiliate MIDEA.
EUROP plans to maintain the agreement between its own
members.

The process is as follows:


1. Run Special Affiliate Processing (EUROP and MIDEA).
2. Delete the agreement from the affiliate file (EUROP and
MIDEA).

Step 1 – Special Affiliate Processing autodelete

SAP autodeletion is performed to “undo” the agreement that each


affiliate had provided to the other.

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

This input deletes the MIDEA agreement from the permission files
of the members of the affiliate EUROP:
PASAPDEA7@EUROP/X3N@MIDEA

In X3N (MIDEA headquarters)

This input deletes the EUROP agreement from the permission files
of the members of the affiliate MIDEA:
PASAPDX3N@MIDEA/EA7@EUROP

Warning! The SAP must run before you proceed to the next step.

Step 2 – Delete the agreement from each affiliate file

The headquarters agency of each affiliate deletes the agreement


their affiliate had given to the other, from the authorisation section
of their affiliate file.

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

EA7 as the provider deletes the agreement from the authorisation


section that was given to MIDEA:

Appendix A: Step-by-Step Procedures

Between an Affiliate and an Individual Agency


This section describes procedures for:
 Setting up an agreement
 Deleting an agreement

Setting Up an Agreement

The affiliate EUROP negotiates a business agreement with an


individual agency, Andes Travel (XX8) located in Chile. They will
service the needs of each other’s customers when they are
travelling in each other’s countries.

EA7 is the headquarters agency of the affiliate EUROP and follows


the procedures detailed below, and makes inputs on behalf of its
members.

XX8 makes inputs on its own behalf.

It is a four-step process.
1. Select an agreement (EUROP and Andes Travel).
2. Add the agreement to the affiliate file (EUROP).
3. Run Special Affiliate Processing (EUROP).
4. Add agreement to the permission file and run Special Affiliate
Processing (Andes Travel).

Step 1 – Select the agreement

The affiliate decides as a provider, how much access to allow the


individual agency as the requester. The individual agency decides
as a provider, how much access to allow the affiliate as the
requester. Each selects an agreement number that satisfies their
business requirement.

Use one or all of the following:


The agreement fill-in-format: PAAGRF
The list of agreements: PAAGR*

Note: The selected agreement number need not be the same.

Step 2 – Customiser file (Optional)

If a customiser is not required, go to the next step.

Step 3 – The affiliate file

The headquarters agency of the affiliate EUROP adds the


agreement that their affiliate is giving to Andes Travel (XX8), to the
authorisation section of their Affiliate File (previously created).

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

EA7 the headquarters of EUROP as the provider enters:


PAATHA/EUROP/XX8/49

Step 4 – Special Affiliate Processing

In EA7 (EUROP headquarters)

The headquarters agency of affiliate EUROP performs SAP to


copy the detail of the agreement that the affiliate is providing to
Andes Travel (XX8), into the permission file of each of its
members.

To transfer the detail of the agreement into the permission files of


the affiliate members of EUROP, EA7 enters:
PASAPREA7@EUROP/XX8

In XX8 (Andes Travel)

XX8 as provider adds the agreement it is providing to affiliate


EUROP to its own permission file, using a combined SAP and
permission file entry.

Appendix C: Agreements with Apollo® Agencies

This appendix deals with Galileo ® agencies forming business


arrangements with Apollo agencies. In order for Galileo agencies
to service bookings made in Apollo® (and vice-versa), Selective
Access™ agreements must be in place across the CRSs in both
directions.

Apollo® bookings can be serviced by using either Switchable


Access or, as is more common, Global Access™.

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.

Features and Benefits – Switchable Access and Global Access™


The table below summarises the functionality for Switchable
Access and Global Access™, providing that the Selective
Access™ agreement in place allows this functionality.

Switchable Access: Global Access:

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®.

Note: Switchable Access™ is also used for loading


PrivateFares™ as these fares must be loaded in Apollo®. A
Selective Access agreement does not have to be in place for
loading PrivateFares™.

Selective Access 129


Appendix C: Agreements with Apollo Agencies

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.

Retrieving a PNR in Apollo®

The steps are as follows to retrieve a PNR by switching into


Apollo®:
1. Switch to Apollo: ##1V or 6C1V
Note: When a terminal has been switched off and then back
on again, it will access the CRS that was active when it was
switched off.
2. Sign on to Apollo. You must have a separate sign-on code for
each CRS. The sign-ons are used when accessing each
system for the first time in a session.
Note: It is not necessary to sign off before switching to the
other system.
3. Retrieve and service the PNR using the Galileo common
formats. These are the entries in the Format Guide with a 
next to them or use the Galileo help pages: HELP COMMON.
Note: Where common formats are not available, native Apollo
inputs must be used.
4. Sign off from Apollo®.
5. Switch back to Galileo® to return to normal working: ##1G or
6C1G

Global Access™
Global Access unites Galileo® and Apollo® and enables travel
agencies to service effectively the needs of global travellers.

Global travellers are defined as those who make their initial


reservations at an agency using either Galileo or Apollo, and who
require further assistance during their travels at a related agency
who uses the other CRS.

Agencies set up for Global Access have access to both Galileo


and Apollo from one terminal without switching or signing on
again.

130 Selective Access


Appendix C: Agreements with Apollo Agencies

What functionality can I perform in the Galileo system with reference to an Apollo ® agency?

You may perform all functionality that is allowed in the agreement


you have been given. This could include items such as:
Booking File servicing
This enables an agent to retrieve in Galileo, PNRs held in
Apollo. The PNR may be updated, and tickets and
itineraries produced from the Galileo system.
Client information
In Galileo, this enables you to display, retrieve and move client
information and use TravelScreen preferences that were
created in Apollo. Information is stored in Apollo ® in the
form of a PRO-file, and retrieved in Galileo ® in the form of a
Client File.
Queuing
Booking Files/PNRs may be queued between Galileo and
Apollo.
Global MIR
This enables you to send and receive back-office information
in the form of a Global MIR between Galileo® and Apollo®.

Booking File Servicing

Global Access™ allows a Galileo agency to retrieve in Galileo a


PNR created in Apollo®. Once the PNR has been retrieved,
amendments may be made to the itinerary and specific customer
data sections, and tickets and itinerary/invoices may be issued.

Retrieving a PNR

When the Galileo agency retrieves an Apollo PNR, they are in


effect borrowing a copy of it from Apollo. Changes made by the
Galileo agency will be transmitted to Apollo ® at end transaction,
and the master booking in Apollo will be updated. Ownership
does not change.

Note: If the Galileo agency updates an Apollo PNR and enters ER


to end and retrieve, it may initially be displayed again in its original
form. Synchronisation messages are sent on end transaction to
update the original booking, and some moments are needed for
those to take effect in the original Apollo PNR. A subsequent input
IR (ignore and retrieve) should display the updated booking.

Selective Access 131


Appendix C: Agreements with Apollo Agencies

Global Information Area

The Global Information area of the PNR is used to store data,


which cannot be translated into equivalent fields during the
retrieval process. Data is stored for information only, and may only
be amended by the Apollo agency that owns the PNR.

If a field is added to the Booking File, which cannot be translated


from one CRS to the other, it will be permanently stored in the
Global Information area.

Note: It is recommended that an agency always reviews the


Global Information area before working a PNR.

Fields that do not translate

The following Apollo data fields do not translate, and will always
be stored in the Global Information area:
Ticketing field
Stored fares with/without ticketing modifiers
Queue minder
Value added tax itinerary remarks

Note: As a general rule, when the number of characters allowed


in a specific field exceeds the maximum number permitted in a
Galileo Booking File, the data will be placed in the Global
Information area.

Queues

Booking Files may be queued between Galileo and Apollo


agencies. Additionally, it is possible to queue the same Booking
File to Galileo and Apollo agencies and to more than one queue,
in any one input.

Queue history

Queue history is maintained in the CRS that owns the global


Booking File.

Queue ticketing

If the Galileo queue ticketing process encounters a global Booking


File, the Galileo system will reject it to queue 14.

Moving queues

It is not possible to move Booking Files (queue bounce) from one


CRS to another.

Global MIR

When a booking is created in Galileo for a global traveller whose


reservations are normally made in Apollo, it may be necessary to
send details of the booking to the back-office system of the original
Apollo agency. This ensures that the detail of the global traveller's
booking is kept up-to-date, regardless of the CRS in which the
changes were made.

Members of multi-national companies may be required to send a


Global MIR to the back-office system of the multi-national
company, so that records may be kept centrally. Where this is
required, all member agencies will have full details of the
procedures to follow.

Galileo agent (DU6) and an Apollo agent (IF3)

To be able to perform Global Access™ functionality, an agreement


is required in both directions between your Galileo pseudo and the
Apollo agency that created the PNR. The set up could be similar
to the diagram below for two individual agencies:

Note: If transmission of Global MIRs is required, contact your


local Helpdesk as additional/different Global permission or SAP
entries are made by the providing pseudo who wishes to give
other agents permission to send them Global MIRs.

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.

The procedure for both agents would be as follows:

Galileo affiliate (EUROP) with an Apollo member (IF3)

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.

The procedure would be as follows:

Receiving Global MIRs

If you wish to send MIRs, agreements and entries are as per


Global Access set-up.

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.

Important note: There are other security items that must be in


place in order for the smooth transmission of MIRs. To fully set up
the transmission of Global MIRs, for one-to-one agreements or
between affiliates, contact 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.

Appendix D: Troubleshooting
This appendix covers two areas:
Affiliate questions
Error responses

Affiliate Questions
Listed below are some of the most common questions and
suggested answers.

Can an HQ be HQ of more than one Affiliate

Yes. A headquarters may control several affiliates.

Does the HQ have to be in the Affiliate

No.

Can just one Agency be in an Affiliate

Yes. Sometimes this makes it easier to control as the


headquarters will be dealing with just affiliate entries.

Can an Agency be in more than one Affiliate

Yes although this would be very impractical as:


The pseudos would need to keep changing their HQ accordingly,
i.e. each time that headquarters made a PASAP entry.
You could have conflicting agreements if other pseudos were in
two affiliates.

Appendix G: Consolidator Information

A consolidator is an agency that has negotiated special fare


agreements with airlines or tour operators and offers these to other
travel agencies, un-associated by means of Group Coding or
Selective Access.
Consolidator Functionality is a form of data sharing. It allows
communication between an agency and a consolidator, regardless
of the fact that they have separate Group Codes, or have a
Selective Access agreement in place with other agencies. A
Consolidator uses the queuing functionality to make
communication possible between them and the agency using its
services.
The originating agency creates a Booking File and queues it to the
consolidator's "queuing city". After the consolidator has taken
action on the Booking File, they may return it to the originating
agency or take ownership, (depending on the queuing input by the
originating agency).
Note: If Selective Access™ is activated and the SAID field of the
AAT changed to YES, the communication between the
consolidator and their agency network will be unaffected.

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.

Originating Agency Functions


An agency is able to:
 Queue Booking Files to a consolidator
 Specify change of Booking File ownership to the
consolidator
 Queue messages to a consolidator
Note: Agencies using the consolidator's services must queue
Booking Files to the Consolidator City Code. The consolidator
must advise this code to all agencies using its services.

Selective Access 169


Appendix G: Consolidator Information

Queuing a Booking File to a Consolidator


You have the option to specify a queue number when you queue a
Booking File to a consolidator. If no queue number is specified the
Booking Files will be placed on the consolidator's general queue,
Q1.
Example entry: QEB/QXX/45
Meaning: Queue booking to Consolidator City Code QXX, Q45.
If you queue a Booking File to a consolidator and subsequently
retrieve and end transaction, the consolidator will no longer be
able to retrieve it. This is a useful feature if you made an error
when you sent the Booking File to their queue.
If you still want the consolidator to be able to retrieve and action
the Booking File, you must queue the Booking File again. As a
reminder, a warning header displays in the Booking File on
retrieving it after it has been queued to a consolidator:
Example system response:
BOOKING FILE QUEUED TO CONSOLIDATOR - RE-QUEUE AT
END TRANSACT.
If one of the agency's branches takes over ownership of a Booking
File already on a consolidators queue, the Booking File removes
from queue. The same warning header, shown above, displays
upon retrieval, advising that the Booking File must be re-queued at
end transact.
Note: The history of the Booking File will reflect all queuing
functions performed, even if the Booking File has not been seen
by the consolidator.

Specify Change Of Booking File Ownership To The Consolidator


Occasionally a consolidator may wish to take ownership of a
Booking File from an agency. The agency must agree with the
consolidator.
In order to do this, the originating agency appends a Y to the
queue input to authorize a change of ownership on queuing the
Booking File to a consolidator. The consolidator takes ownership
when they end transact on the queued Booking File.
Example entries:
QEB/QXX/Y
Place booking on to general queue and give ownership of to the
consolidator.
QEB/QXX/45/Y
Place booking on Q45 and give ownership of to the consolidator.
Note: Once the consolidator has taken ownership of a Booking
File, the originating agency is no longer able to retrieve it.

170 Selective Access


Appendix G: Consolidator Information

Queuing a Message to a Consolidator


An agency may queue a message to the consolidator's general or
supervisor's message queue. The message is created as a
notepad item.
Example queue entries:
QEM/QXX
Queue to general message queue of consolidator QXX
QES/QXX
Queue to supervisor queue of consolidator QXX

Consolidator Agency Functions


A consolidator is able to:
 Retrieve a Booking File either from their consolidator city
queue or by record locator.
 Take any necessary actions and return the Booking File to
the originating agency.
 Redirect a Booking File to another of their consolidator city
queues
 Read messages received from agencies
 Send supervisor and general messages to agencies

Retrieving Booking Files from Queue


The consolidator agency must specify their Consolidator City Code
in the input when they retrieve Booking Files from queue,
otherwise the consolidator will view their normal pseudo city's
queues.
Example entries:
Q/QXX
Access queue 0 or queue 1
Q/QXX/45
Access queue 45
Once a Booking File has been retrieved from queue and end
transacted, the consolidator agency may only re-retrieve it using
the Booking File record locator. Once the Booking File has been
returned to the originating agency, or the originating agency has
end-transacted it, it can no longer be retrieved by the consolidator.

Selective Access 171


Appendix G: Consolidator Information

Re-queuing a Retrieved Booking File


A Booking File may be returned to the originating agency's general
queue Q1, or to a specified queue, after it has been actioned by
the consolidator agency. A Booking File may also be re-directed
to another queue within the consolidator city code.
Example entries:
QEB/R
Return Booking File to agency's general queue
QEB/R/45
Return Booking File to agency's queue 45
QEB/QXX/60
Place Booking File on own consolidator city queue 60
Note: If ownership has been transferred to the consolidator
agency they are not able to return the Booking File to the
originating agency.

Accessing Message Queues


The consolidator agency must specify their Consolidator City Code
in the input when they access messages, otherwise they will view
their normal pseudo city's queues.
Example entries:
QM/QXX
Read general message queue
QS/QXX
Read supervisor message queue

Queuing a Message to an Agency


A message may be queued to an agency's general message or
supervisor's message queue in the normal way, by specifying the
agent's pseudo city code in the input. The message must be
created as a notepad item.
Example entries:
QEM/AAA
Queue message to general queue of agency pseudo AAA
QES/AAA
Queue message to supervisor queue of agency pseudo AAA

Consolidator Functionality Enhancement

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.

174 Selective Access


Appendix G: Consolidator Information

Data Masking (for Sub Agencies only)


In a sub-agency/consolidator scenario, only the sub-agency AAT
MASK field must be set to yes.
Fare and ticketing information, except taxes, entered by a
consolidator is automatically masked when sub-agents, or any
pseudo city other than the consolidator pseudo city that created
the filed fare retrieves the Booking File. A sub-agent will still be
able to display the tax break down for a ticket issued by a
consolidator.
The following are Booking File fields that may be masked by a
sub-agent. Masked data is also masked when the history for that
booking is displayed.

Data Masking System Rules


Any bookings created by a masking user will be subject to the
following rules:
 Fare and ticketing Booking File (BF) fields entered by a
consolidator are automatically masked in Booking Files
owned by participating sub-agencies.
 Data masking rules for sub-agencies are held in a table
called Agency Rule Table. This table contains rules that
govern whether or not a specific field will display in a
Booking File and Booking File history.
 Users can display the entire table or display a specific rule.
Both tables are maintained (rule additions/deletions) by
Galileo support personnel. There are no duty code
restrictions to view (only).
 If the user is any other type of user (other than NDC/SMO
or agent/consolidator), all booking data is masked that can
potentially be masked (e.g.
CF/PH/RA/RU/DI/AD/AW/FP/MM/NP/CI/RQ)

Agency Rule Table


An agency rule table has been created to allow a sub-agent to
mask various fields within a Booking File from a consolidator’s
view. This functionality is similar to Selective Access.

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

New Descriptive Banner


A new banner, **CONFIDENTIAL DATA EXISTS** will display
when Booking File fields are designated as masked. The purpose
of the banner is to inform the viewer that not all Booking File
information will display. Advise is not supplied detailing what
specific fields are masked.
Only one banner will display regardless how many fields are
masked. When Booking File data is masked, the banner will
display at the bottom of the booking. This banner will display on
the main Booking File display, as well as the historical display.

Appendix G: Consolidator Information

Fares and Ticketing Data Masking


The masking of Fare/Ticketing data is done based on whether the
booking is subject to masking. If the creator/owner of the booking
has their MASK field in the AAT turned to YES, then the
Fare/Ticketing data in the booking is subject to masking,
irrespective of whether the issuing party (consolidator) has their
MASK field set to Y or N.
Fare data (active) – Only the agency who filed the fare can see the
fare.
Fare data (history) – Only the agency who filed the original fare
can see the history for that fare.
Ticketing data (history)
 If the agency filed all fares (and all fares that are now
historical) they can see all ticketing history in the Booking
 If the agency did not file any one fare (or any fare that is
now historical) they cannot see any ticketing history in the
Booking
 If the booking file contains mixed filed fares (i.e. fares
issued and ticketed by both the agent and the
consolidator), the ticketing history is masked to all.

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.

Appendix G: Consolidator Information

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.

New Qualified Notepad Field


A new qualified notepad field has been established for the purpose
of sharing ticketing information, mainly ticket numbers. This will
prove useful when ticketing fields have been designated as
masked. “ET” has been allocated as the new qualifier
(NP.ET*TEXT).
 The new qualified notepad field will continue to display
when all other notepad fields are designated as masked.
 The new qualified notepad field will also automatically add
to BF history without requiring user entry.
 The new qualified notepad field accepts freeform text.

New Fares entry to display taxes only


A new tax only entry and display provides both Sub-agents and
Consolidators the ability to view only the taxes (to be collected)
regardless of who filed the fare.
*FFALL/T – display taxes for all filed fares and for all passengers.
For each filed fare, taxes will be displayed only once for those
passengers with like taxes and of the same passenger type.

Data masking for Manual Fare data


With this enhancement, fares using the manual fare build entry,
*FBX will automatically mask with all other filed fare data where
filed fares are automatically masked from all viewers except the
city that input the fare for booking files that participate in the new
Consolidator data masking enhancement.
The structured data version of the *FBX entry has been enhanced
with data masking capability as well.
A new banner, **CONFIDENTIAL DATA EXISTS** was
introduced to display when BF fields are designated as masked.
The purpose of the banner is to inform the viewer that not all BF
information is being displayed. Fare information resulting from a
manual fare build entry (*FBX) is considered part of the BF
information that will not be displayed.
