1.1.7.2. Example 2 - Attribute mapping - Variants

The example in hand uses 6 characteristics of a DIN 913 (see adjoining CSV file) and shows the complete standard procedure on the base of the template Article Mapping Search.[a]

CSV data

CSV data

[a] The used sample file article_mapping_search_din913.csv can be found under "$CADENAS/training/partdatacenter/article_number_assignment".

  1. Perform all settings as in example 1.

  2. Node Attribute Mapping Filter

    Transfer the variables needed for the identification of the correct characteristic via arrow key from the left side to the right. For the exemplarily used DIN 913 these are the variables "Durchmesser" (diameter) and "Laenge" (length).

    In the column Mapping PSol Column, click into the input field and enter the variable names in the PARTsolutions catalog. Here D and L.

    First leave the checkboxes in the column Allow variants deactivated. Later we will perform the process once again with the variable L marked as variant.

  3. Click on the Start button, to execute the pipeline.

  4. Result:

    On the left side under Workspace -> Catalogs -> <Name of the CSV catalog> (here "article_number_search") select Products.

    -> The results are displayed.

    Five characteristics have been assigned with Quality = 100, one with Quality = 1.

    [Note] Note

    Meaning of "Quality = 1":

    Not all variable to be compared achieved hits AND there was more than one result for the remaining variables.

    In this sample case that means: The ident number 2 achieved no hit for L=27 AND for D there were several hits.

    The variant with L=27 could not be handled as such, because the adequate markup was missing in the node "Attribute Mapping Filter". The value 27 does not exist in the characteristic attribute table, thus no hit could be achieved (compare following section).

    The variant with L=27 could not be handled as such, because the adequate markup was missing in the node "Attribute Mapping Filter". The value 27 does not exist in the characteristic attribute table, thus no hit could be achieved (compare following section).

Handling of variants
