I don’t understand whether the user is supposed to start by creating a new site, cloning an existing site, or editing an existing site in order to switch to a new GDS. This topic discusses how to set up a new site but isn’t explicit about where the new site comes from. Help!!

I don’t understand the need for a separate topic on this subject. How is this different from either setting up a new site or cloning an existing site and making changes per Implementation - Cloning Guide?

Also, the minimum settings for a new site in that topic are different than listed here - shouldn’t they be the same? https://deemadmin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/2394161153/Implementation+Guide+-+Clone+and+Create+Sites#Configure-the-new-site

SME comments said that these instructions also work for adding a second PCC or GDS to the same site. Should those also be listed as objectives of this procedure?

You can download the checklist above to keep track of the settings as you update them (click on the document, then click the cloud symbol in the top-right to download, save, or print).

...

You can leave all clients active and functioning in your current GDS until you have fully converted to the new GDS, which gives you the ability to configure more than one GDS or PCC.

Important: After you convert your Deem site settings to the new GDS, users will no longer have access to bookings from the previous GDS.

Removed description here about GDS conversion providing the “benefit of self service”. It doesn’t seem self service because some steps require user to open a Deem Support Case, including for new Web Services and GDS Emulation, which also may require users to contact a Travelport rep and contact the GDS.

Is this SME comment addressed in the Web Services section of this page:

“For Galileo and Sabre, we need to add an addendum section on Web Services.  For Galileo we will need a Web Services Access Group and and IPCC for Sabre.  This is configured on the Superdomain.  Galileo will also need their Superdomain Travel Configuration updated to read "GDS Web Service" for the Low Fare Search method.”

If this is the first time converting from one GDS to another or adding a second GDS to a site, we recommend the following:

...

You can leave your previous GDS configurations in Deem in case you need to revert or refer to them later.

Prerequisites

Important:

  • To convert to another GDS or set up a new GDS, you must first open a Deem support case and carry out the steps for the new GDS described in GDS Emulation Process.

  • For any of the following steps in which you copy and paste settings from one Deem page to another, you must use either two different browsers, or the same browser with an additional, incognito window open. To open an incognito window:

    • In Google Chrome, click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner and select New Incognito Window. Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+n in Windows/Linux, or Shift+⌘+n in the macOS.

    • In Mozilla Firefox, select the Firefox menu in the upper-right corner and select New Private Window. Or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+p for Windows/Linus or Shift+⌘+p in the macOS.

I reorganized this topic per Dave’s comment on mandatory and “other considerations” steps. Please verify this reorg is in line with that comment.

Do these user groups copy over from the cloned site? Should service rules be set up only after a test user group is tested per the end of this topic?

ETSI Profile Synch

Set up profile mapping for the new GDS/PCC, whether it is your own TMC profile or a third party product. See ETSI Profile Synch for details.
