Use Cases: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 26. Juni 2019, 09:16 Uhr

This is the main page for our collection of use cases.

To add a new one please insert a suitable name and then click "Create Use Case" to launch a new page for your entry. Then fill in the missing sections of the template.

Why Use Cases?

We aim to create a complete replacement for all transactions which are handled by STADIS and many external extensions today. To do so we have to find out which transactions are needed and what kind of data is exchanged between clients and tour operator systems.

So for a start every action code used today in TOMA-like systems should have at least one assigned use case here (or be deprecated).

The same applies for all proposed extensions of the "Anforderungsdefinition".

See Flight Availability (Gerätevakanz) for an example of what we need.

Role Definitions

- tour operator / airline system

- (supplier for the above)

- CRS / GDS

- client system non-automatic (travel agency)

- client sytem automatic (internet booking engine)

Use Cases by Action

The STRING interface will not use action codes but request/response pairs. We aim however to support all methods of the old interfaces we're superseding as long as they are not deprecated or applicable.

Several action codes might be linked to the same use case when their functionality will be bundled into the same request/response.
