Parent element: include

Attributes:

• key
• value

If the parent element <include> type is CUSTOMER:

• The value of key attribute is CARD_NUMBER_FILTER

• The value of value attribute is EMPTY or STATIC

  For security purposes, credit cards cannot be exported; however, you can export default credit card data for customers.

  EMPTY does not export customer’s credit card data.

  STATIC exports the name of the customer’s credit card and sets the card number to a default number, ie Master Card 1111 1111 1111 1111

If the parent element <include> type is PRODUCTASSOCIATION:

• The value of key attribute is DIRECT_ONLY

• The value of value attribute is true or false

  true - only exports the product associations that are directly related to the product.

  false - all the associated products are exported along with the product.

  Setting DIRECT_ONLY to false creates a product.xml that may be too large for your system to handle
