Mapping possibilities in Siteminder

Below we summarize the existing mapping possibilities for connectivity between the Witbooking and Siteminder systems:

• Map mother lines only

Only those lines that are configured as "own" in the Witbooking inventory table should be mapped. They may be their own by fee or by availability.

Advantage: Fewer lines will need to be mapped and it will be easier to manage.

Disadvantage: Reservations that are registered in daughter lines of Witbooking will be shown in the Siteminder extranet with the occupation, condition and regime of the mother line. If reservations are uploaded from the Channel Manager to the PMS, the information displayed may not reflect reality in terms of occupancy, condition and regime.

• Map mother and daughter lines

You must request the activation of the daughter lines parameter from Witbooking and map all the inventory, regardless of whether the lines are mother or daughter.

Advantage: The Witbooking system will send the complete reservation information to Siteminder for both mother lines and daughter lines.

Disadvantage: All inventory lines must be mapped. If the parameter is activated but not all lines are mapped when a child line reservation is posted, Siteminder will report an error and the reservation will not detract from inventory availability.
