Creating custom versions of the configuration files
In this step of the tutorial,
you create custom versions of the data load order and business object
configuration files.
About this task
By default, the Catalog Upload feature provides various catalog business object configuration files. The configuration files defines the mapping from the comma-separated value (CSV) columns to the Xpath express of the logical business object. To map the warranty and care instruction data to CSV columns, you create custom version of the catalog entry business object configuration file.
Catalog
Upload uses the configuration files in the following directories:
- workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.catalog\dataload.
- Important: Do not modify the contents of this directory.
-
- workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.catalog-ext\dataload.
- Use for customized configuration files.
Note: Before loading catalog data, the Catalog Upload feature
merges configuration files from both directories.
