CATALOG IMPORTER
There are a variety of ways to import product and catalog data. The product and catalog data can be
imported when initially setting up the environment, or after changes have been made in the Intershop data.
The importer supports the following modes:
• Full Import
• Incremental Import
• Express Update
The product data is maintained in Intershop 7 software and made available through AEM.
the actual product information imported from Intershop or any other source is held in the CRX repository
under:
/etc/commerce/products
The following properties indicate that the products are linked with Intershop:
• commerceProvider
• cq:intershopCatalogId
• cq:intershopId
NOTE
The Intershop implementation (for example geometrixx-outdoors/en_US) only stores product IDs
and other basic information under /etc/commerce.
The Intershop server is referenced every time information about a product is requested.
