OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS

When RG Bridge processes a OTA_HotelAvailNotifRQ message, it responds with a OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS message. Here’s a summary of the response handling process:

1. Normal Response:

   • OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS: Sent in response to the request, confirming receipt and processing of the availability update.

2. Exception Handling:

   • REST Fault: If a REST-level fault occurs, a REST fault message is sent.

   • Application Level Validation: If RG Bridge cannot validate a message at the application level, it still returns an OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS.

3. Screening for Business Rules:

   • Messages are screened for conformance to basic business rules.

   • RG Bridge ensures that the message pertains to a hotel that is enabled on RG Bridge.

   • Values are screened to ensure they meet specified business constraints.

4. Failure Indication:

   • Response messages indicating failures will contain at least one error element.

   • Multiple error elements may be returned if there are several issues.

5. Successful Receipt:

   • If the request is received correctly and screened for consistency, RG Bridge returns an OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS a message with a single Success element.

   • Note: Receiving a success message does not guarantee that updates will be made on all OTAs. Errors may still occur due to business rules at RG, OTA, or communication failures.
