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. | | 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 editing it per the Implementation - Cloning Guide? It seems you would just do that and choose the new GDS. The page title seems to be a misnomer, as this procedure seems to walk though simply setting up a whole new site, not changing settings on an existing site. Also, the minimum settings for a new site in that topic are different than listed here - should 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? If so, specifically how do you use multiple GDs / PCCs for the same site? | |

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.
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” suggested by Dave Nygaard. It doesn’t seem to be self service at all because some steps require user to open a Deem Support Case, including for new Web Services and GDS Emulation. | | 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.

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

I was unable to save on this screen and kept getting the error *JavaScript Error (We're sorry, but the javascript you have entered is not valid. Please enter a valid javascript.) We need to provide additional information here about that error and how to resolve. | | Step 7 - I did not see any link or setting for the PNR Mask requirements. Do you have to save first or how do you get to this? | | What are the Examples above examples of? Where should they entered? | |

Queue/Delivery Options
Next, configure Queue and Delivery Options for the new GDS or PCC. You will also need to select these later for Agency Settings.

Please clarify whether whether all Web services require a Deem support case, or only new ones, or if only the applicable procedure here is required. | |

User Groups page is not explicit about creating a test group, only using one. Cannot find an option to “Add test user to new test Group” above. Any suggestions for readers on how to create a test group for this specific procedure? (Dave Nygaard also noted this in the Word doc review.) | |
