Example: Catalog entry defining attribute values

You can use the data load utility to insert, replace, or delete insert and replace the values of defining attributes at the SKU-level. You might only load one value per attribute. These examples uses a CSV file to demonstrate how to insert, replace, or delete the values of defining attributes.

CSV file column definitions

Insert or replace

In this example, the CSV file contains sample values for defining attributes. Each column is delimited by a comma. CSV file with sample defining attribute values.

Formatted CSV file with column headings

Example-PN-10001	Color	Red
Example-PN-10002	Size	Large

Delete

In this example, the CSV file contains sample values for defining attributes that will be deleted. CSV file with sample defining attribute values.

Formatted CSV file with column headings

PartNumber	Name	Value	Delete
Example-PN-10001	Color	Red	1
Example-PN-10002	Size	Large	1

Map data

The following code snippet from the catalog entry defining attribute values loader configuration file demonstrates how to map each value to a business object logical schema path.

<_config:DataMapping>     <_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryIdentifier/ExternalIdentifier/PartNumber" value="PartNumber" valueFrom="InputData"/>     <_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryIdentifier/UniqueID" value="CatalogEntryUniqueId" valueFrom="InputData"/>     <_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryAttributes/Attributes[0]/AttributeIdentifier/UniqueID" value="AttributeUniqueId" valueFrom="InputData"/>     <_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryAttributes/Attributes[0]/Name" value="Name" valueFrom="InputData" />     <_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryAttributes/Attributes[0]/Value/value" value="Value" valueFrom="InputData" />     <_config:mapping xpath="" value="Delete" deleteValue="1"/>
</_config:DataMapping> 

If you are performing an insert or replace operation, do not specify the "Delete" column in the CSV file or you can leave the "Delete" column empty.
