ETSI Profile Sync

 

Overview

Deem uses ETSI (Enterprise Travel Systems, Inc.) to sync profiles to your agency GDS. This synchronization is customizable to meet client or agency needs.

These GDSs are supported for ETSI:

  • Amadeus

  • Apollo

  • Galileo

  • Sabre

  • Worldspan

Need to Know

  • There is a limit of 50 domains/sites per profile sync group in a superdomain.

  • If you do not already have a login to the ETSI website, open a Deem Support Case to request access.

  • During your company’s initial implementation, Deem will create a profile template with you. As new clients come on board, you can clone the template, and customize lines as needed.

  • Access ETSI to run Success and Error Profile Sync Reports.

Set Up Web Services

 

To set up web services for ETSI:

  1. Add a site to the Web Services Group in the superdomain.

  2. Assign the Web Services Group within the site.

  3. Set up individual Web Services on the site level, if needed.

Superdomain: Add Site to Web Services Group

During the initial implementation, Deem will work with you to set up Web Services on the Superdomain if you will be using one profile map for all accounts and no GDS profile writeback. As new client sites are configured, you will need to assign the new client site to the appropriate Web Services Group.

Note: Depending on the number of client sites you have, you may have more than one Web Service for profile sync. Because there is a maximum of 50 domains/sites per group, you will need to open a case to request a new Web Services group if you are approaching this maximum.

To add a site to the Web Services Group:

  1. Open the homepage of the Deem Partner Dashboard/Console.

  2. Select the Groups tab to display the Domain Groups list.

  3. Select a group from the Group Name list.

  4. From the Domains Not in Group list on the right side, select a domain/site.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting includes common errors, as well as viewing error and success reports.

Common Errors

The following list includes common causes of errors for profile sync:

  • Ensure the web service is established.

    • Confirm that the site is assigned to the proper domain group by the superdomain administrator or by Deem. Open a Deem support case if there is a problem.

    • Confirm changes have been committed at the superdomain level by the superdomain administrator or by Deem. Open a Deem support case if there is a problem.

    • Ensure that the Web Services rules are enabled to the proper group.

  • Check for site name consistency. Ensure that the site name matches the site short name used by Deem support.

  • Use the prefix and suffix fields to link data with hard-coded global distribution system (GDS) formats.

  • Ensure your Path in each profile line item contains the correct upper- and lower-case characters. Incorrect case in the path will prevent data from populating to the GDS.
