MySabre Migration / Installation Guide 1. Introduction The MySabreTM Installation process has been automated to provide you with a smooth installation and migration to Sabre Travel Network’s new desktop platform. This document was created to provide you with a comprehensive set of instructions to reference when installing or migrating to MySabre.
2. Before Installing Verify the following: You have an Internet connection. The workstation(s) meets or exceeds the MySabre minimum requirements that are found in Appendix A of this document. You have a valid Sabre® system Sign-in, Password and Psuedo City Code. If not contact your manager or Sabre Travel Network representative. Your browser must be Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher. You have a valid Sabre system Workstation Address or LNIATA. If not contact your manager or Sabre Travel Network representative.
Important Notice for Sabre eVoya WebTop agents: We are unable to automatically transfer the Sabre system workstation address or LNIATA from eVoya® Webtop to MySabre due to issues with browser cookies. You or your installer will have to manually configure the MySabre desktop with your LNIATA. If you do not know your LNIATA, you can obtain this information from your eVoya Webtop desktop through the Options tool. You may want to write this information down so that you can use at the end of the MySabre installation.
3. Installation Before installing or migrating to MySabre, it is suggested that you close down any open applications. Note: Sabre eVoya Webtop customers must exit the eVoya portal and shut down the browser before starting the MySabre installation.
