Getting Started

Test Environment

Each PMS connecting to SiteMinder will be given an interactive test account to get a basic connection up and running.

• The PMS will be given a URL, username, password and RequestorID to connect to the service.

• The PMS will be given a HotelCode for the test hotel.

• The PMS will be given a reservation tool to test the reservation service.

Test Extranet

The connecting PMS will get access to a test hotel on the SiteMinder Platform to confirm that the availability, restrictions and rates pushed from their system are processed correctly. The platform will also show the reservations created and the delivery status to the PMS.

Access to the test platform: https://tpi-cm-apac.preprod.siteminderlabs.com/web

Test Web Service

Test Web Service URL: https://tpi-pmsx.preprod.siteminderlabs.com/webservices/{RequestorID}

We provide multiple WSDL variations to accommodate different technology stacks:

• Standard WSDL: https://tpi-pmsx.preprod.siteminderlabs.com/webservices/{RequestorID}/pmsxchange.wsdl

• Inlined WSDL (Recommended for .NET): https://tpi-pmsx.preprod.siteminderlabs.com/webservices/{RequestorID}/pmsxchange_flat.wsdl

Payment Transaction Record WSDLs

• Standard WSDL: https://tpi-pmsx.preprod.siteminderlabs.com/webservices/{RequestorID}/pmsxchange_pms_payments.wsdl

• Inlined WSDL (Recommended for .NET): https://tpi-pmsx.preprod.siteminderlabs.com/webservices/{RequestorID}/pmsxchange_pms_payments_flat.wsdl

For .NET clients, we recommend using the inlined WSDL, as the standard version may cause issues with .NET proxy generators (e.g., wsdl.exe or svcutil.exe) due to OTA specifications.

Ping Request

The connecting PMS can send an OTA_PingRQ request to verify that the test web service is operational and that a connection can be established successfully. The Ping request only validates the endpoint’s availability; it does not verify credentials.
