The OpenTravel Hotel Cache Change Notification message set allows a hotel supplier to push their changed hotel rates and availability information to a trading partner that caches their hotel rates and availability information and have the trading partner send an acknowledgement message that they received the information.
Note that this message set is designed to allow the trading partner to receive the changed rates and availability information from the supplier so the trading partner can create a subsequent targeted Hotel Availability Request message that only requests the specific supplier data that has changed and needs to be updated in the trading partner cache.
Hotel Cache Change Notification Request information includes:
-Point of sale information for the requestor
-Unique identifier information that allows trading partners to uniquely identify each Hotel Cache Change Notification Request message for transaction tracing purposes
-Destination system information that specifies a receiving system for the message information
-Cache change information-which specifies what hotel supplier data has changed and should be updated in the trading partners system via a subsequent OTA_HotelAvailRQ message-including:
----Chain, brand and hotel codes
----The start and end date of information that should be updated in the cache for the associated @HotelCode and an optional "change date mask" that indicates if there are changes in all or a portion of the returned date range; including Length of stay that indicates how many days of availability from start date should be shopped; and Full Pattern Length Of Stay to indicate which days from start date should be shopped
----Other changed product details, including rate plan and promotion details
