==================================== What was introduced with Version 2.2 Numerous problem tickets have been opened globally in regards to two issues in Galileo Desktop 2.1, Hotel Description discrepancy and Programmable Keys with Date/Time stamp. This release addresses fixes for both. The Hotel issue was only introduced in GD2.1. Customers on GD2.0 will not have this issue and do not need to upgrade to fix this problem A minor enhancement is introduced to allow setting search time defaults in air and shopping. Hotel - Fix A discrepancy in the Hotel Complete Availability display was identified. The error was that room type descriptions were not correctly aligned with their respective nightly rate. A fix has been incorporated to ensure that the correct room type description is displayed with its corresponding nightly rate. Customers using v2.0 and v2.1 need to upgrade to v2.2 to fix this problem. Programmable Keys - Fix Users on Galileo Desktop 2.0 were no longer able to assign a date or time stamp to programmable keys. This has now been fixed and will allow for date/time stamp with programmable keys. Time Out Issue - Fix Some revious versions of Galileo Desktop were prone to a "time out" problem when used in conjunction with customer managed VPN, SSL Connection, Wingate, and Leased Lines line connections to Travelport's Apollo or Galileo host systems. While working with Galileo Desktop, if no entry is made for a period of time, the connection status shown in the bottom left hand corner of the Galileo Desktop application will simply disappear. If you are experiencing the time out issue described, you have two options - Upgrade to Galileo Desktop v2.2 - Apply a "patch" available for download Default Settings - Minor Enhancement Tools / Options – Agents may now set the default search time for Low Fare Shop, Optimal Shop (Apollo), Air Availability and Fare and Schedule Display (Apollo). They will still be able to over-ride the default in the request screen, as they can today. ==================================== What was introduced With Version 2.1 Note, Version 2.1 is provided only for those customers who feel a need to maintain consistency across their enterprise. This version should not be used for new installations. Note, many of the additions or fixes listed below only apply to customers using the Galileo (1G) host system and not to customers using the Apollo (1V) host system. For example, references to "point and click" do not apply to Apollo customers. Any reference which includes "1G" refers to the Galileo host and not to the Apollo host. In general, the Apollo host is used in Canada, Japan, Mexico and the U.S. The Galileo host is used in the rest of the world. Startup - If Galileo Desktop is configured to start in Terminal Mode (a.k.a. Focalpoint windows are display vs. the graphical windows), the login in screen which asks for the Apollo Sign In code and password can be . This allows customer who have their own "sign in script" to use that script upon startup. PNR/Booking File - Expanded SSR Freeform Field To better support the recently released documentation SSRs, the free text field has been expanded to 180 characters, where required. Car - Masking of Car Customer ID numbers Car suppliers are given the ability to 'mask' the Customer ID number in their segment sell response, in order to protect the confidentiality of the personally identifiable information associated with the Customer ID number. Viewpoint and Focalpoint® will support this masking feature. CarMaster® eVouchers - An eVoucher is an electronic, paperless confirmation of payment for the car rental, similar to an airline e-ticket. EVouchers will enable elimination of paper vouchers for car rentals, and reduce cost and improve efficiencies for agencies and car rental vendors. Hotel - In the hotel availability and complete availability screens, “approximate total” has been renamed to “complete price” Galileo Desktop used in conjunction with Galileo SSL - Fixed the problem seen on rare occasions where an ISP does not pass the "keep alive" message resulting in previous versions of Galileo Desktop losing the connection to the Apollo or Galileo host. Custom Viewpoint was added to the Tools Options Menu in Focalpoint so the scripts can be viewed in Focalpoint. If you adjust the Custom Viewpoint screen, the setting is now saved. The location of the Custom Toolbar can now be configured by user via the Tools Menu on the General Tab. The Viewpoint shortcut option to display the Low Fare Shopping dialog was added to the choices in the Custom Toolbar editor. The Custom Viewpoint scripts for client file build and profile build were updated to change the passport host format from the PSPT SI/SSR field to the DOCS field. You can now configure Desktop to boot to the terminal window without the desktop sign in prompt. This allows startup script to control the host sign in for automated apps. Fixes to control inappropriate entries in the change passport dialog prevents a “looping” error condition with the change password function. Ask Travelport was added to the default toolbar. The Galileo e-Cruise toolbar button was removed from the default Apollo toolbar. ACC modifier area were configured and commented out for future enhancement when host is ready. Install screen now shows links to the supports languages for “What’s new” page. Custom Toolbar Tools Menu option now working with the exception of two issues. 1) The Edit Custom Toolbar option needs to read the configured path 2) If the user types in a new path it needs to prompt with the message that Viewpoint needs to be closed and reopened to see the changes (this message displays ok when the different radio buttons are selected). Trailing spaces are not truncated so users should be able to add blank profile and remark lines again like in desktop 1.01 Install option of whether items are backed up was moved to before previous version was uninstalled. Silent Install was fixed to work with the selected SQL options. To do a silent installation, you must download the .ISO file, create a CD from the file and run SETUP from the CD. The Install Guide you see when running SETUP from the CD or available here, provides the instructions for a silent installation. SQL install options updated to include the same options on the Tools, Options menu. HCM locking fix helps handling when there are network breaks.
