Overview

This Migration Plan is designed to assist Agents in smoothly migrating their integrations to the modern Partner-API architecture. The plan encompasses a series of structured steps to ensure a seamless transition while minimizing disruption to existing integrations.

Key Steps:

1. Review Existing Integrations
   • Conduct a review of the current integration leveraging the Booking Partner API.
   • Document all endpoints, data formats, and functionalities currently in use.
   • Identify any custom configurations or unique setups specific to the integration.
2. Identify Migration Scope
   • Define the scope of migration, including functionalities or endpoints to be migrated to the Partner-API.
   • Prioritize functionalities based on business needs and impact.
3. Update Endpoints and Data Formats
   • Modify integrations to point to the new Partner-API endpoints.
   • Adjust data formats to comply with the JSON format requirements of the Partner-API.
   • Ensure compatibility with existing API access credentials.
4. Test Compatibility
   • Develop test cases outlined in Partner-API Certification covering all migrated functionalities.
   • Conduct and execute testing with our Support Team to validate compatibility with the Partner-API.
   • Address any discrepancies or issues encountered during testing.
5. Deploy Updated Codebases
   • Plan deployment schedules and coordinate with CiiRUS Support for implementation.
   • Deploy updated codebases in phases to minimize downtime and ensure a smooth transition.
   • Monitor system performance and user feedback post-deployment for any anomalies, and report to CiiRUS Support if necessary.
6. Developer Guidance
   • Review instructions and best practices through each stage of the migration process.
   • API Documentation, Guides, and code samples are available for ease of implementation.
   • Dedicated API Support is available for developers seeking assistance or clarification during migration.

Incremental Migration Option

Agents have the flexibility to adopt the incremental approach to migration. It's possible to start with migrating specific functionalities gradually while CiiRUS maintains support for the Booking Partner API. For instance, partners can begin with migrating property details to the Partner-API Content endpoints, while the rest of the integration continues to utilize the existing Booking Partner API integration. This incremental approach will aid in minimizing disruptions and ensure a more seamless transition.

The incremental approach allows partners to tailor the migration plan according to specific needs and priorities, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition to the Partner-API architecture.
