5md for OCN link creation

Duration of OCN link creation
2 months (2-3 weeks TST then PRD)
Release of 21.3 to airlines
Released to everyone, just need to shoot the messages. For ex, CX is already testing to understand

Problem with ASW for NDC
Doc says it works the same as EDI but not the case and we haven’t studied it

Why IFG complicates NDC projects
1 cycle of testing requires 2 weeks as it takes time to get the HOT file from IFG
Specificity of NDC post-implementation
There’s a need for support in particular to deploy new features. The scope at CUT is really MVP (WL, self-re-acc, etc.)
IATA stick approach to NDC
Softening, for example, IATA will allow NDC link as long as needed i/o pushing to IFG
SQ main complaint on NDC
21.3 quality. They paid for features requiring 21.3 and cannot use them beause of PTR/IR. They will think of new CPs once 21.3 is stable and after migrating main sellers and Agent360 to 21.3.
Type C and NDC
Not supported
Servicing NDC in ARDw
Possible but then no longer manageable in NDC (as not all changes in ARDw are Order-compliant so even OrderRetrieve might fail)
Name of Self-Re-Acc (at least form NDC)
Automated Involuntary Exchange
Changes allowed by Self-Re-Acc
Different dates but same O&D
OrderQuoteRQ
21.3 replacement for OrderReshopRQ price
Flow of exchange in NDC 21.3
OrderReshop
OrderQuote
OrderChange
