Process: Export catalog
Flow
Objective
Publish all or a portion of a catalog externally.
Description
Some businesses may require publishing the catalog or a subset of the catalog externally to a third party.
The Product Manager may be interested in placing and maintaining a current publication of all or a subset of their product information into other media formats or may need to export their data into a marketplace, or partner sites. WebSphere Commerce assists with data export and provides mapping support into non-WebSphere Commerce specified XML formats or text delimited format. The Product Manager can then use the XML format and publish to the target media.
