    2. Use cases of the path modification process

    • New PR ID: refers to a PR ID created after the start of the path modification
    • New PA ID: refers to a PR ID created after the start of the path modification
    • Old PA ID: refers to a PA ID belonging to an already booked path (dossier in Active Timetable phase) 

    2.1 Start PM

    The PM process can be started by any RA and only when the dossier is in Active Timetable phase. The RA initiating the process is marked as “initiator” in PCS, becomes responsible for the dossier transition and is considered as leading applicant in the PM process. The leading applicant at dossier level, if different than the PM process leading applicant, is participating in the process as an involved or affected applicant. It is a dossier transition; therefore, it shall be completed with a Path Coordination Message without Train Information and Path Information and the dossier enters the Path Modification Conference. As the initiator RA creates a new path modification, the “create dossier” type of information is used.

    In this process:

    • Leading applicant refers to the leading applicant only for the path modification process.
    • Leading IM refers to the IM of the pair from the applicant initiating the PM process. It can be the same or a different one than the dossier leading IM.

    2.1.1 Sent information – Under development: pending PCS schema update planned in October 2023
