CODE - UC SEG STATUS NOT ALLOWED-0003 when requesting EnhancedAirBookRQ

Question

I am currently using CURL in PHP to request XML. When using same flow in POSTMAN service I can get the success result but, when using CURL in PHP I get CODE - UC SEG STATUS NOT ALLOWED-0003 status. Below are my CURL request header and code. Is my header option in CURL request making the problem?

 function get_xml_response($xmldata) {
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$wsdl = 'https://sws3-crt.cert.sabre.com';

$header = array(
    "Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"",
    "Accept: text/xml",
    "Cache-Control: no-cache",
    "Pragma: no-cache",
    "SOAPAction: \"\"",
    "Content-length: " . strlen($xmldata),
);

$soap_do = curl_init();
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_URL, "$wsdl");
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, TRUE);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60); 
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmldata);
curl_setopt($soap_do, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

  if (curl_exec($soap_do) === false) {
    $err = 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($soap_do);
    curl_close($soap_do);
    print $err;
    return false;
  } else {
    $response = curl_exec($soap_do);
    $httpcode = curl_getinfo($soap_do, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    return $response;
  }
}

Answer 1

I don't know the sabre api, but it Looks like you malformed the request with the segement UC.

Try to look in the api docs or try to contact the help desk.

In the sample request there es is no <haltonstatus/>, Look here https://developer.sabre.com/docs/read/soap_apis/air/book/orchestrated_air_booking

Answer 2

UC status means that the itinerary you booked is not available. It could be due to a number of different things like date, class of service, etc.

Where did you get the itinerary information from? If you're using a shopping service, I'd advise you to run it again and see if the same itinerary is still returned, or if the class of service changed.

Answer 3

I have to check your code, One thing is that if you getting your result from postman .. Then there is a good option for getting curl code from the postman. By click on code > change HTTP option to PHP curl >copy to clipboard . If you try with this way of write code, you have to change little changes.

And one more thing, A very good answer have given here UC status . UC status related to UN-CONFIRMED status. Please have a look here. Thanks

This is an example , for how to pass your post field data in xml form :

 $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
      CURLOPT_PORT => "",
      CURLOPT_URL => "url here",
      CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
      CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
      CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
      CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
      CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
      CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
      CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">\n  <soap:Body> soap body part </soap:Body>\n</soap:Envelope>",
      CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        "cache-control: no-cache",
        "content-type: text/xml"
      ),
    ));
    $response = curl_exec($curl);
    $err = curl_error($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    if ($err) {
      echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
    } else {
      echo $response;
    }

Answer 4

Write xml content to a file named is soap_this.xml and using curl command to send request: curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:text/xml;charset=UTF-8" --data @soap_get.xml your_url

Answer 5

I have tried you code and modified some part of it. please try using below code

        <?php
    header('Content-Type: application/xml');

Answer 6

That because by the time you creating pnr request, there might not be a available flight for your requesting cabin type. Even though atleast one flight sector has unavailability Sabre does not allow to create pnr

Using following Sabre commands you can check availability of flight segments

More details about commands: http://www.emquest.ae/downloads/STM/Quick%20Reference%20English.pdf

Answer 7

In your Request you have set this option:

<HaltOnStatus Code="UC"/>
<HaltOnStatus Code="LL"/>
<HaltOnStatus Code="UL"/>
<HaltOnStatus Code="UN"/>
<HaltOnStatus Code="NO"/>
<HaltOnStatus Code="HL"/>

which means if the segment that you are trying to sell is not confirmed because of availability etc then end the transaction.
