The main purpose of the application is to act as a virtual agent that receives email requests for airline reservations from a third party website. These requests are then analyzed and the necessary information gets stored in the database.
If any information sent by the user is incorrect, the application emails the requester, asking her to correct the invalid input. (The application manages a huge list of valid airports based on which it validates the requester’s information).
The next part of this flow consists in submitting the request information to an online ticket reservation processor named Apollo. This part is performed on an NT machine that connects remotely to the AS/400 database.
Apollo then returns information about the available flights, if any, which includes prices and details about terminals, hours and routes. This information is stored back on the AS/400 database and then a quote is emailed to the requester. Based on this quote, the customer can decide to book the flight.
