I'm getting a similar response to zman's.

problrms here too, tahnkfully it's not juts me.

There is currently a web server outage. The hosting provider has already been notified and is working on resolving the issue (which is on their end).

They expect that the system will be back up and running within the next hour or so.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

system appears up @12:30am Nov 2

Routing rules not available
 

Since yesterday, the routing rules are not available (for all fares)

The message is

* NO FARE IN SYSTEM

That issue must be specific to particular fare(s), as the system continues to function normally, based on a few random test cases, e.g.:

[KVS Availability Tool 5.1.2/Diamond - Routing Rules: NYC-LAX/AA/QA3KQYN/208 USD]

Any update on this?

That issue will be resolved in the next release.

Just download KVS Diamond..still trying to learn all this..I am trying to find some fares from GOT-IAD, GOT-EWR, GOT-JFK. How do I get to the point as shown above with the fare and the taxes?

Thanks

After using the [Fares] tab to retrieve the fare list, double-click a specific fare and select Routing Rules.

And a warm welcome to the Diamond level!

Fare/ routing rules bug
 

First of all I understand that the situation described below may be extremely rare, so if it is difficult to fix the issue I would not insist.

Situation: search of fares DEL-MOW. The case in point is DEL-MOW/YY/YIF.

Problem: fare rules (TVN) and routing rules are incorrectly shown for the cheaper fare.

Possible reasons for an error:

a) there are two different YY/YIF fares with different global indicators (FE and EH), different prices and difference mileage allowance (MPM)
b) KVS is not able to specify the GI in the request and obtains something with default settings

Unexplained: the eligibility rules (TVN method) mention some strange restrictions which do not seem to relate to both fares at all (Greek seaman/ government orders).

Possible solution: possibility to specify GI (with "default" settings by default to avoid questions from newcomers, EH, AT etc) would possibly solve the problem.

Correct, there are 2 different YIF fares one with an FE GI and the other with an EH GI. ExpertFlyer apparently now shows the GI when you look at a fares routing or fare rules.

The GI can only be specified in the MPM queries, so you can obtain MPM for each routing type:

[KVS Availability Tool 5.1.4/Diamond - Reference: Maximum Permitted Mileage [MPM]: DEL-MOW]
The permitted GI forms a part of the fare rules -- it is something that is retrieved (based on the Fare Basis), and not something that is requested.

Airlines should not be filing different fares with the same Fare Basis (which is the case here). When they do (and this very rare), it causes confusion and system issues, which you are experiencing...
