Business Requirements

Descartes (Jaguar partner) is offering Automated Air Status Update Service

This will allow airfreight shipments booked directly by Jaguar with the airlines, to be fed automatic status updates (departure and arrival dates), removing our need to manually check and then update the status of Airfreight shipments.

Transshipment airports.

It is possible to have more than one transhipment airport.

We assume that Descartes can send meaningful updates to accommodate that case.

CT2 should be re-designed to support that.

Split case.

In this case airline might call and say that X plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F1.

Later airline might call and say that Y plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F2.

Later airline might call and say that remaining plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F3.

It could be split 2,3,4, ... times.

We assume that Descartes can send meaningful updates to accommodate that case. CT2 should be re-designed to support that.

Design ideas

Accommodating any number of stops (trans shipments):

Accommodating any number of splits:

Detailed Technical Design and Architecture

When to send XML

CT2 system should send Ct#MAWB through EDI as soon as it gets assigned by operator.

Use Case Operator changed MAWB

TBD

One CT one direct flight Use Case UC1

One CT is traveling on one airplane from origin to destination.

We assume that Descartes will send back:

One CT multistop flight Use Case UC2

In this case there is one or more airport of transhipment.

Our system may accommodate one. We need to add flexibility if there are more than one.

We assume that Descartes will send back:

Split Use Case UC3

Example from #Business Requirements

In this case airline might call and say that X plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F1.
Later airline might call and say that Y plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F2.
Later airline might call and say that remaining plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F3.
It could be split 2,3,4, ... times.

We need to modify our UI / DB to accommodate this case


CT profile and DB re-design to accommodate multiple trans shipment points and splits

TBD

Messaging Intro

CT2 and Descartes system (GLN) will exchange XML messages.

In a nutshell:

  • CT2 sends MAWB (same as FWB) to Descartes(GLN) network/server
  • GLN forwards to Airline nework
  • when update becomes available info is passed back to CT2 through Descartes

Outgoing message

Must be included:

  • From (Jaguar id)
  • To (Airline id)
  • doctype
  • FWB number

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
