Getting Access to the Test Environment
Fill out the technical information form to start the connection process.
Each PMS connecting to pmsXchange will be given an interactive test account to get a basic connection up and running.
Test Environment
Test Account
- SiteMinder will supply the connecting PMS with a hotel code, username and password for a test hotel.
- SiteMinder will supply the connecting PMS with a list of room ids and room descriptions for the test hotel - these can be set to what is already available in the connecting PMS.
- SiteMinder will set up the test hotel in pmsXchange and the PMS is then able to push inventory updates and retrieve reservations, modifications and cancellations.
- SiteMinder will supply the connecting PMS with login details to access the extranets to check inventory updates and create test reservations.

Establishing Connectivity
