Umbrella Faces allows a one-way synchronization from Faces to KDS via automated Files extracted from Faces and sent to KDS server to populate KDS. This takes place daily

 

In order for Faces to be able to publish profiles to KDS, the respective travel agency has to apply for the project with KDS so that they can activate  the interface and provide the agency/ Umbrella with the necessary SFTP server credentials. Once we are in possesion of the credentials, we can set up the necessary custom fields and internal codes that are necessary for the synchronization to work. The profiles are sorted based on the the company identifier. This is given in the same name custom field on the company level as CODE_<company id>_<company name>  i.e: CODE_87703_Wright Brothers. The company ID has to be provided by KDS/ is visible within KDS. The company name should also match the KDS company name??


Since KDS has some technical limitations, we list the particularities associated with the interface below:

  • KDS Does not offer a webservice/ API interface
  • The development is based on a CSV file transfer (SFTP) from Faces to KDS ( one-way)
  • The synchronization is not real time. The synchronization takes place once daily from Faces to KDS
  • KDS Profile "creates, modifies and deletes" are not sent to Faces. We therefore advise you to only deactivate profiles in KDS but to carry out create/modify and delete within Umbrella Faces
  • Date of birth and address can only be be sent and synchronized during profile creation. If these data are edited after the profile was already created and sent to KDS then the changes are not reflected in KDS
  • Mileage memberships and passport information can not be in KDS via Faces ( so what is the solution? delete in KDS then create again in Faces? If yes then conditional modifies shoould be allowed in KDS?)

 

?Migration? Profile existed in KDS, CSV file to merge?'UUID =Username? Can this be changed?? Auch dann bei der neuen Faces profile creation kann keine Adresse usw angepasst werden? Can one also not edit these fields?

Synch only travellers, ja?

Kindly refer to "mapping to see how this is mapped to KDS
