A method of providing access to auxiliary data for a provider subsystem includes: storing offer data corresponding to an item, the offer data including (i) primary data, and (ii) auxiliary data defining an adjustment between the primary data and corresponding published data stored at an external repository; storing the offer data in an auxiliary repository; in response to an order request from a client subsystem: obtaining an order identifier corresponding to the offer data; and updating the auxiliary repository to store the order identifier in association with the offer data; in response to obtaining the order identifier, generating a reporting message for transmission to a provider subsystem, the reporting message containing the primary data and omitting the auxiliary data; and subsequent to generating the reporting message, retrieving the offer data from the auxiliary repository, and sending at least the auxiliary data to the provider subsystem.

System and method of auxiliary data access

To differentially respond to data requests, a request handling server stores (i) a predefined set of response definitions, each response definition having a distinct assigned virtual requester identifier, and (ii) for each virtual requester identifier, a selection criterion. The server receives a data request associated with one of a plurality of requesters, and includes (i) request parameters and (ii) a requester attribute set. The data request may be a request for travel product offers formatted according to the New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard. The server compares the requester attribute set with the selection criteria; based on the comparison, assigns a selected one of the virtual requester identifiers to the data request; retrieves an active one of the response definitions corresponding to the selected virtual requester identifier; obtains response data according to the request parameters and the active response definition; and transmits, in response to the data request, the response data.
