Data Element ExampleData Element Example

Name CPT-SubscriptionType

Identifier cptdd 100

Purpose Provide the type of a requested subscription. The types allow the subscriber to ask for a one-shot provision of the information (query), a periodic update of the information, an update whenever the information changes (event), or cancellation of an existing subscription, or all existing subscriptions.

Usage

Definition ENUMERATED

Query (1), Periodic (2), Event (3), Cancel (99), CancelAll (100), -- 4-98 reserved-- 101-255 reserved

} (0..255)

Data Frame ExampleData Frame Example

Name CptSubscriptionHeader

Identifier cpt 1000

Purpose Provide a standardized header structure for subscription requests, cancellations, and responses.

Usage The expiration date and time must be specified.

Report Interval is required if the requestedType is periodic, and not allowed otherwise.

When the header is included in a subscription request, the information reflects the parameters desired by the subscriber. When the header is included in a response to a subscription request, the information reflects the parameters of the subscription actually provided. Subscriber and host identifiers are agency-assigned unique numbers to identify systems/applications.

Request Identifier is a unique identifier that provided by the subscriber. The number is carried forward from the original request to all responses to the request by the server, and any cancellations must carry the same subscription number as the original request.

Message ExampleMessage Example

Name CptStoppointListSub

Identifier cpt 2001

Purpose Request a specified version of stoppoint information

Usage Subscription type should be query. If the information changes, then a new version number should be created by the scheduling system or schedule repository (server). The subscriber can become aware of such updates using the Subscribe Master Schedule Version dialog.

The subscriber is able to determine the appropriate version of the stoppoints to request using the Subscribe Master Schedule Version dialog, thus the query does not need to be qualified with dates or other information.

The include-details field indicates whether the response message should include additional details in the response message. These details provide optional information about a stoppoint (such as whether it is ADA-accessible). This detail is not required for all applications using the stop point list.

An agency may decide to include all stoppoints for the agency within a stop point version, or to limit aversion to the stoppoints included on a route or group of routes, however all stoppoints referenced in a pattern list (SchPatternList message) must be included in the version of the stoppoints referenced by that pattern list.
