CM Import Job

An import job updates objects from CSV (Comma Separated Values) file data, such as:

  • Categories
  • Products
  • Inventories
  • Prices
  • Customers

Each column in the CSV file maps to a data field in the Commerce Manager. The element <mappings>, as shown in the example below, defines these mappings.

note

When an export is performed, an empty pricing.xml is generated. This file is generated for legacy systems and should not be used.

Sample XML:
