Test Reservation Scenarios

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:

Using the OTA_ReadRQ message, the PMS will request reservations, modifications or cancellations from pmsXchange.
Using the OTA_ResRetrieveRS message, pmsXchange will return reservations, modifications or cancellations which meet the requested criteria.
The PMS will process the response and send an OTA_NotifReportRQ with success or errors after processing.
PmsXchange will then respond with an OTA_NotifReportRS to acknowledge the receipt.
Using the OTA_HotelAvailNotifRQ, the PMS sends pmsXchange back the affected 'Availability' change.
