From KVS Tool FAQ:
# Q: [SNT: Awards/StarAlliance] Method suddenly shows availability as "@" for non-OZ/NH flights.
# A: This happens from time-to-time, and means that the StarNet system or datalink is temporarily unavailable. Please try again a bit later.

It's in the FAQ, mainly the ability to search for fares over specific dates (dotRes) instead of just for the next 12 months.

Has pulling PNRs via the E-Ticket/OW+ method (LAN.com) been working for anyone?

Regretfully, LAN had disabled this functionality as of a couple of weeks ago...

It seems that no fares show for SK, whether via the Zuji or DotRes methods. Could not get any fares from LON/PAR/FRA/DUB to ARN, for instance.

# Q: I am getting "SABRE: FQ-VERIFY SELLING DAT" error message when using the [Sabre: Fares/ZUJ] Method
# A: If you are getting this message on the last day of the current month (e.g. 31st), then this caused by a time difference bug in the ZUJ engine and you should simply try your request in a few hours.
Otherwise, you should check your current system Date, Time, and Time Zone settings to make sure that they are correct.

oops. I missed this one. Thanks. And I also managed to get them via dotres by changing the pos (from CA to UK).

The timetable function isn't working for me today. I'm getting a message that "the system is temporarily unable to process your request. Please try again (9102)"

Any clues what's going on?

Just a temporary outage, as the error message indicated. All OK now.

I have been working on both fare functionalities for the last 24 hrs. The Sabre ZUJ function works; the Sabre DotRes function does not work. Is there a temporary glitch to the latter function?

PS-If there is a temporary future glitch to the fare functions to the KVS tool, what FlyerTalk functions or other web travel functions from your perspective are an acceptable substitutes for the KVS tool fare functions?

The DotRes CA POS is no longer valid -- you need to select an alternative POS from the list (US/IT/UK).
