(Enterprise)Exporting a price list
We can export any price lists that exist in Management Center. The price list is exported as a CSV (comma-separated value) format file. After exporting the price list, we can use a spreadsheet editor to edit the price list, and then upload the revised price list so that the changes are available to WebSphere Commerce for pricing.
Task info
Exporting a large price list can take a long time, depending on your system. For example, a price list with 500,000 price entries might take almost an hour to export. For large price lists, we might encounter the following problems:
- You might see an error message stating that the browser has timed out.
- You might see an error message stating that we cannot export the price list because it contains too many entries.
- Your server might crash.
If any of these problems occurs, talk to a site administrator. Site administrators can refer to the suggestions in Limiting the size of a price list to be exported.
Procedure
- Open the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool.
- In the explorer view, click the Price Lists folder.
- Right-click the price list we want to export, and then click Export.
- Wait until you see the browser window that prompts you to save or open the exported price list. This indicates that the export process is complete.
- Follow the instructions in the browser to save the exported price list under a new name to a folder on your computer.
