CatalogEntryAttributeDictionaryAttributeRelationship

Use the CatalogEntryAttributeDictionaryAttributeRelationship keyword to load relationships between attribute dictionary attributes and catalog entries into your WebSphere Commerce database.

Previously, you could load this data only in CSV formatted files. You can now load information in a CSV or XML formatted input file. Your input file must contain CSV column or XML element names and definitions that specify the characteristics of the business object type you are loading into your database.

Catalog entry and attribute dictionary attribute relationships can be loaded for defining and descriptive attributes:
  • For defining attributes, the attribute values specified in the attribute must exist in the catalog. Attribute values cannot be loaded for defining attributes when you are creating a relationship.
  • For descriptive attributes, the attribute values can be loaded with a relationship. If the attribute values specified do not exist in the catalog for the attribute, the values load before the relationship.
  • When you create a catalog entry and attribute relationship for an attribute with predefined (allowed) values, any existing relationship between the two objects is removed and the specified relationship loads.

Field1
