Abstract
Using a set of alternative events with both modern and legacy systems. A method includes identifying a master message including a set of alternative events formatted for a modern system. The master message includes default information for all events in the set of alternative events as well as exception information representing exceptions to the default information for individual events in the set of alternative of events. A plurality of instance messages is identified. Each of the instance messages includes default information from the master message and exception information for a given event in the set of alternative events. The master message and the instance messages are sent to other systems without regard to whether the other systems are modern or legacy systems so as to allow modern systems to select event alternatives using the master message and to allow legacy systems to select event alternatives using the instance messages.
