ZZU is still a valid code for Polar. It is a code that was made up by the business to reflect US booking online without conflicting with any regional promotions. Canada is ZZC
DAIR is the Polar command to see the air codes built in Polar.
Every 1 to 3 years we are issued new POLAR certificates that need installed on our servers to allow us to connect to HTTPS on our servers. This is a security feature where the servers need to have their target certificates installed.
Use the following attachment [ update-polar-certs ] [ developers-vm-polar-cert-update ] to allow you to copy-n-paste the commands, also this was for the batch server which is on Java 1.6.
Go to halprdjobs02.hq.halw.com and run the following commands as root:
$ cd /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/security
$ /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/keytool -v -import -trustcacerts -alias pcl_rsa -keystore /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass -file /software/pcl-cert/JBoss/COMODO_RSA_Certification_Authority.CER
$ /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/keytool -v -import -trustcacerts -alias RSA-organization -keystore /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass -file /software/pcl-cert/JBoss/New_Princess_COMODO_RSA_Organization_Validation_Secure_Server_CA.cer

Subject: Re: CCL API vs POLAR API
Hi Anila,
CCL API/ Corporate API are the set of messages that follows Carnival guidelines. These are the message structures used by all the API partners (like AMADEUS) and brands (like HAL) . To change these messages, we have to get approval from Carnival.
Princess used to use (continuing to use) certain messages before the introduction of CCL API. These are Polar API messages and doesn't follow corporate API standards. These messages are internal to Princess and does not affect other cruise lines or API partners.
Larry,
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,

Keep adding together and then finish with "e" to say you are ending your vacation and cruise, it will keep pricing but keep separating by different bookings.

Subject: RE: User IDs for access to HAL eZAir test logs
Thanks for your response Tara, you can obviously ignore my last email to you.
For everyone on the HAL side. In Diana's earlier email she mentioned not being able to use the URL from the POLAR screen. There is a configuration which must be set up within the terminal to allow for the use of 'Hotspots'. I will send out a separate email with instructions for how to set this up as well as some general rules that need to be followed while testing eZAir.
I will send this email out in a few minutes.
Thanks,
