Price list uploads
You can upload price list data to
an existing price list with the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool in
Management Center. For example, if your company maintains a price
list in a spreadsheet, you can upload the data from the spreadsheet
to the WebSphere Commerce database. The Price List Upload feature
uses the Data Load utility, but the feature provides a user interface
that makes the upload process easier.
You can load your price list data from a CSV (comma-separated value) format file. You can upload only one file at a time. You can upload a compressed (.zip) file that contains your CSV file, if required. You can also use the Price List Upload feature to delete price list data from the database.
Other ways of uploading price list data
In addition to uploading price list data with the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool, you can also load price lists using the command-line loading utilities, such as the Data Load utility or the mass load utility. The command-line utilities are recommended for large amounts of data, for example, when initially loading price lists to the store.
When you are using other loading utilities, your
existing offer price list must be registered in the STORETPC table
so that they are usable in the Management Center tool. See: Registering your existing offer and list price lists in the STORETPC table
