Setting up the Data Load utility customization deployment Ant script
Users can leverage the Data Load utility, a new feature in WebSphere Commerce Version 7, to load different types of bulk data into the database. If the data type is not supported out of the box, it may require customization. Typically, a user would run the tool on the WebSphere Commerce server, so the tool customization may need to be deployed there. In order to support deploy the data load utility customization to a remote WebSphere Commerce server with different file transfer methods, the server deployment scripts require users to provide a custom Data Load utility customization deployment Ant build file that is executed as part of the server deployment process. Follow the steps in this file on your server deployment system to set up one of the provided samples for use in the server deployment process.
About this task
Sample scripts for some popular file transfer protocols are provided out-of-the-box in the WCBD_deploy_server_dir/dataload-cust-deploy directory, including:
File transfer protocol | Directory |
---|---|
FTP | wcbd-sample-dataload-cust-deploy-ftp.* |
Local filesystem | wcbd-sample-dataload-cust-deploy-local.* |
SCP or SFTP | wcbd-sample-dataload-cust-deploy-scp* |
If the file transfer protocol used in your customization project is not one to which sample scripts are provided, you must develop custom scripts as per process described in the Customizing the server deployment process topic.
