Test the following reservation scenarios that are commonly sent via our pmsXchange API. These scenarios will be strictly checked during certification and must follow the 5 steps below:

  1. Using the OTA_ReadRQ message, the PMS will request reservations, modifications or cancellations from pmsXchange.

  2. Using the OTA_ResRetrieveRS message, pmsXchange will return reservations, modifications or cancellations which meet the requested criteria.

  3. The PMS will process the response and send an OTA_NotifReportRQ with success or errors after processing. 

  4. PmsXchange will then respond with an OTA_NotifReportRS to acknowledge the receipt.

  5. Using the OTA_HotelAvailNotifRQ, the PMS sends pmsXchange back the affected 'Availability' change.
