Hi Lasse,

What about ShopID? Do you get that?

I have posted a similar issue but related to ShopID: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/pim/pim/shopid-in-pim-feed

I have noticed that the settings on the Feed itself are not honored. I was afraid it was some setting on my end but it seems that your expectation is similar to mine.

Maybe DW will investigate it further.

Hi Adrian,

Unfortunately not. It looks like the only thing i get is the country and currency passed from the scheduled task.

I think you are right about the feed settings not being honored.

When running the feed, from the URL directly, Customer and Shop is set on the context:

Hi folks,

The context driven parameters of the feed cannot be deciphered by the scheduled task. There simply isn't any context.

The work-around is to copy the desired URL from the bottom of the feed setup screen. Paste this URL to a scheduled task and execute the URL instead.

In my example it looks like

You will see that there is a hashed version of the UserId. Grab the output and save it.

Hope the above makes sense.

Hi Morten,

Thank you for the workaround.

For now, I can probably use the suggestion but wouldn't it make sense to use the settings of the feed in the context if there are none in the URL?

My expectation, based on the interface and the whole setup, was that the feed would honor those settings and not just use them to create URL parameters. This way you can also avoid having to pass sensitive data (like the UserID) in the URL.

I understand that it's not how it works now, but maybe it makes sense to consider it as a feature.

Thank you,

Adrian

Dear Adrian & Morten,

I totally agree with you Adrian! Hopefully, Morten, you will look into a better solution here?

Best regards, Anders

Hi, Morten, from what I can see everything is available to the scheduled task. The settings are just not set but ignored.

We have access to the feed in the FeedExportHelper GenerateFile.

Here we can set both shop and user id on the FeedContextConfiguration, we just need to encrypt the userid, as the code further down expects to get the user id passed in that format.

• feedContextConfiguration.UserId = Crypto.Encrypt(feed.UserId.ToString());
• feedContextConfiguration.ShopId = feed.ShopIds.FirstOrDefault();

When inserting these two lines both are passed correctly to the PriceContext.

It is also possible to get language and currency code directly from the feed in the same way.

I think there is a possible confusion in what part of the code is responsible for handling the feed settings. When I use a Scheduled task in this way, where I pass it a feed, my expectations are that the setting on the feed is honoured. Right now, the responsibility is given to the scheduled task, and I can’t really see the reason as to why that is the case? Everything we need for the FeedContextConfiguration is already present on the feed.

I can see a case for allowing the scheduled task to override default feed settings, but from what I can see right now its the settings from the scheduled task or no settings.

The problem regarding #14115 (Not 14114) on Feed file export scheduled task

Now fixed in Dynamicweb version 9.15.10
