OTA_ResRetrieveRS
The message consists of a list of HotelReservation elements. The content may vary since SiteMinder delivers reservations from multiple upstream sources (Booking Channels), many of which have significantly different reservation formats and data structures.
In general, the following applies to HotelReservations:
A HotelReservation represents a single reservation made with an upstream system.
A HotelReservation can include one or more RoomStays, one for each booked room type.
A RoomStay signifies a stay in a specific room type over a continuous timespan; non-continuous stays (split stays) will result in multiple RoomStays.
A HotelReservation may have zero, one, or multiple ResGuests associated with either the RoomStay they occupy or the reservation itself.
The <Success/> element indicates a successful response. In this example, two new reservations are returned. The SiteMinder reservation identifiers are WTF-12345 and HTL-67890, with the corresponding message IDs being isuokfr1pyc2ntest7 and pbp6s5j08test9n0zi.

OTA_NotifReportRQ
The PMS sends a confirmation message to SiteMinder for the delivery of reservations, modifications, or cancellations. If not confirmed, the information will be resent in response to the OTA_ReadRQ message. Confirmation of delivery does not guarantee that the reservation was successfully created in the PMS. The OTA_NotifReportRQ message can be used to confirm any erroneous deliveries.
The structure of the OTA_NotifReportRQ does not permit a mix of successfully processed and erroneous reservations in the same message. Successfully processed reservations must be confirmed in separate OTA_NotifReportRQ messages from those that could not be processed.
SiteMinder will automatically mark a reservation as 'Error' (fail) under the following conditions:
20 Delivery Attempts: The reservation has been requested (OTA_ReadRQ) at least 20 times without receiving a valid OTA_NotifReportRQ.
14-Day Timeout: No delivery attempts have been made for 14 days.
1-Hour Timeout: At least one delivery attempt has been made, and it has been 1 hour since the first attempt.
Important: This mechanism is a fail-safe feature; we expect to receive either a 'Success' or 'Error' OTA_NotifReportRQ. It should not be relied upon for handling reservations that cannot be processed.
The presence of the <Success/> element indicates that the reservation was created in the PMS
The UniqueID Type 16 element informs SiteMinder which reservation message is being confirmed
The HotelReservationID holds the ID of the newly created reservation in the PMS
