CatalogGroupSEO

Use the CatalogGroupSEO keyword to load search engine optimization URL and page information for specific categories into the WebSphere Commerce database.

Previously, you could load this data only in CSV formatted files. We can now load information in a CSV or XML formatted input file. Your input file must contain CSV column or XML element names and definitions that specify the characteristics of the business object type we are loading into the database. To load SEO URLs with the Data Load utility, define the loadSEO configuration property in the wc-dataload.xml configuration file. This property must have the value true for the Data Load utility to load SEO URLs. For example:

<_config:property name="loadSEO" value="true"/>

Note: We cannot load substitution parameters for SEO data in this CSV file. We can add substitution parameters in the Catalogs tool. See Substitution parameters for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
