Queue Management

Queue Management

A Queue is an automated file of PNR’s or messages, which require servicing or handling. Each queue is identified by a number and optional queue identification.

A queue will hold either PNR’s, MESSAGES or PROFILE FILES but never a combination on the same queue

Reservation System places PNR’s on queue based on the action required, such as confirmation or schedule change notification.

The system determines correct queue placement of a PNR from the Subscriber Identification (SID) in the first field
