How can I force which GDS to capture from?

A simple .txt file can be introduced per user that will either prompt the user to select which GDS they wish to capture from (when in a multi GDS environment) or force the GDS the tool should capture from.

Multi GDS Environment

If a user wants to use our tools (Decoder Suite, Itin to X, Delegate Tracker etc) in a multi GDS environment then a simple .txt file can be created in the Users c:navitas folder.

 To do this create a blank text file in the c:navitas directory, naming it ForceSelectGDS (will appear ForceSelectGDS.txt)

Go to C:  Navitas folder

Right click in the white space and go to New – Text Document

 

 Name the new file ForceSelectGDS

 

The user will now receive the GDS Selection prompt every time they use the tools.

 

Single GDS Environment

If the user only has access to 1 GDS and are receiving the GDS Selection prompt then this file can be used to force the GDS to capture from? 
 

To achieve this, create a blank text file in the C:\Navitas directory, naming it ForceAmadeusGDS (will appear ForceAmadeusGDS.txt) or for the other GDS see below;

• ForceAmadeusGDS.txt
• ForceGalileoGDS.txt
• ForceSabreGDS.txt

Please note: 

This is especially common for Amadeus users (using Selling Platform Connect as we can only pick up Internet Explorer from the Task Manager so can not automatically select Amadeus for you)

For customers who use multiple GDS then the GDS Selection prompt is essential, as allows us to know which GDS you wish to capture from!
