When exporting to the LinkDB it doesn't matter whether the assignments between CSV catalog and PARTsolutions catalog have been made manually or automatically and with which template. The following explanations apply independently of the previous approach.
Note | |
---|---|
When exporting to the link database it is only about a transfer to another data storage, in other words it's not about linking / assignment. This already happened in the process before. |
In an intermediate step the product data with the link information of CSV and PARTsolutions catalog can be exported in a CSV file first. Then later the CSV file can be imported into the link database.
In this section the export shall be explained exemplarily from A to Z.
First a process has to be created for an export.
Under Article Assignment, click on the context menu command Add new process.
-> Under Article Assignment a new entry (still without label) is displayed.
Click on the button Load predefined template . -> The dialog box Pipeline Template Selection is opened.
-> Now, on the right side, the export pipeline is displayed. Select the single nodes, one after another.
ProductLink source: Via search button , select the source catalog (created from the CSV file).
Product Link Assignment (optionally): Determine the export conditions. You can select only one condition or combine some.
You have the following options available:
The assignment's quality has to be at least: xy
The assignment has to be marked as valid
See Section 3.1.11.4, “Product view - Context menu commands”.
Mapping: Determine the mapping between CSV fields and LinkDB fields. In the example in hand, a mapping is performed for Description and Material. Move the desired variables from the left to the right via arrow key. Open the list field on the right side and select the corresponding LinkDB fields (here DESCRIPTION and MAT_NAME).
ERP number settings: Determine which CSV field contains the ERP number. It will be automatically mapped to the respective LinkDB field.
Export settings: Determine, whether the export shall be performed directly into the LinkDB or first in a CSV file.
LinkDB settings: Enter User name and Password here and click on . It is displayed whether the login is correct.
Click on the Start button to execute the pipeline.
-> In the docking window Performance a respective message is displayed.
