Marketing attachment description input file definitions

Use a AttachmentDescription.csv input file to load data to create descriptive information for the attachments associated with marketing objects in a store. After you load the data, business users can manage the new descriptive information with the Assets tool.

We can extract the descriptions for marketing attachment objects with the Data Extract utility to create a AttachmentDescription.csv input file that you then can load with the Data Load utility. For example, to copy or move marketing attachments between stores or instances, such as for creating one or more test environments. Sample configuration files are provided for you to use with the Data Extract utility to extract the description data in multiple languages from the ATCHTGTDSC database table.

Sample configuration files are also provided for you to use with the Data Load utility to load the attachment description data. When you load the AttachmentDescription.csv file, the Data Load utility populates the ATCHTGTDSC database table. For more information about extracting and loading marketing data, see

• Extracting marketing data with the Data Extract utility

• Loading marketing objects with the Data Load utility

When you load descriptive information for marketing content, we might need to load additional information. For example, if the content does not exist in your target store, we must first load the data to create the content. Then, we can load descriptive information in multiple languages for the content or load content attachments. For more information about the marketing content-related data that we can load, see:

• Marketing attachment input file definitions

• Marketing attachment asset input file definitions

• Marketing attachment assets in multiple languages input file definitions

Note: A store must be configured to support a language before the descriptive information in that language can display in Management Center.
