This specification provides the definition of the Travel, tourism and leisure data update request - interactive message (TUPREQ) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
An interactive Travel, tourism and leisure data update request is sent by a supplier of a product or service to a global distribution system (GDS) to update the receiver’s data base for rates, availability, policy, and general information. It may also be used to initialize the receiver’s system with a new product or service. The message may also be sent by a GDS to a supplier when a travel agent has made updates to a traveller’s profile or a GDS needs to update an agency’s profile.
The Travel, tourism and leisure data update request - interactive message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
(5) Update an agency or traveller profile in the supplier system.
The message is made up of five distinct groups for updating the information listed above. The information shown in items 1-3 can be sent as individual messages or a combination of the three groups can be sent in one message to the GDS. The data to initialize a new product or service or the update to an agency or traveller profile can not be sent with any other update.
The message has the capability to tie an identification number to an individual update for purposes of reporting errors in TUPRSP, Travel, tourism, and leisure update response message. The sending of TUPREQ may be preceded by the sending of the Travel, tourism and leisure product application status request and response messages (PASREQ/PASRSP). In this scenario a supplier would send PASREQ to a GDS to indicate what type of update is to be made and the number of records to be sent. The GDS would respond with the PASRSP to indicate if they can accept the update now or if it should be sent at a later date and what that date and time is. The GDS may also respond with how many records can be sent in one message. The supplier would then send TUPREQ at the specified time to update the GDS data base.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2.
