You must create feeds for the costPrice and
returnRate attributes if you want to use all the system attributes calculated
for ProductActiveData.
You can optionally feed in values for the availableDate
attribute. If you don't feed in the availableDate, Salesforce B2C Commerce
uses the creationDate attribute instead. The system created this attribute
when you added a product. If you create additional custom active data attributes, you must feed
those in as well.
You might want to create different feeds if the
attributes you are importing need to be imported with a different frequency (daily versus
weekly) or if they are being fed from different backend systems. You can create a maximum of
three feed definitions.
-
Select
site > Merchant Tools > Online Marketing
> Active Data > Feed Definitions.
-
On the Feed Definitions page, in the Product Active Data section, click
New.
-
On the New Active Data Feed page, enter the details:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| ID |
You might want to include the name of the system or the frequency of the feed in
the name. |
| Fresh Period |
The number of days before the data is considered stale. |
| Column Allocation |
Transfer the attributes you are importing to the In this feed list in the order
they appear in the .csv feed file you want to import. |
Any custom attributes you have created for the
ProductActiveData and CustomerActiveData system objects
are automatically available as well in the column list.
-
Click Apply.
When a feed definition is created, it can be exported and imported into any other
instance using Site Import/Export.
As a next step, you need to create the feed files that use this definition to import
values for the attributes.
