_{ResStatus Redacted}

Reservations with a @ResStatus of “Redacted” will have all ‘PII’ data removed. The SMX partner application should be able to accept all ResStatus values and respond with Success (200 OK status). It will now need to handle the additional ‘Redacted’ value.

<HotelReservations>
	<HotelReservation ResStatus="Redacted" CreateDateTime="2017-09-19T18:02:44+00:00" CreatorID="LINDA-RESAGENT" LastModifyDateTime="2017-09-19T18:13:51+00:00" LastModifierID="651651651651">

		<UniqueID ID="BDC-3685569477"/>

	</HotelReservation>

_{Second AddressLine}

Reservations may include a second AddressLine under ResGuest / Profile and ResGlobalInfo / Profile rather than having the two address lines merged in one AddressLine. LittleHotelier supports two-line addresses and have character limits for each. If there is data in the second line, it will be sent in the XML in a secondary AddressLine as below:

<HotelReservations>
	<HotelReservation ResStatus="Redacted" CreateDateTime="2017-09-19T18:02:44+00:00" CreatorID="LINDA-RESAGENT" LastModifyDateTime="2017-09-19T18:13:51+00:00" LastModifierID="651651651651">

		<UniqueID ID="BDC-3685569477"/>

		<ResGlobalInfo>…</ResGlobalInfo>
	</HotelReservation>

_{ResGuest / PrimaryIndicator}

Little Hotelier reservations will now identify the primary guest as PrimaryIndicator=”true” to know which guest is checking in. If multiple ResGuest / Profile are sent, only one will be identified as primary.

		<Profiles>
			<ProfileInfo>
				<Profile ProfileType="1">
                    ...
