Hi! I would like to know in short terms, how can I use the eCommerce Module to Import/Export data from/to the Ecommerce solution?

I have a client that asked me how the eCommerce handles, for example, stock updates, if used this module to import and export content from the ERP he uses.

Hi Ricardo

I just talked to the eCom guys.
At the moment the only way to export data is using the Database Publishing module.

For exporting data with the database publishing please read this blogpost:
http://developer.dynamicweb.dk/default.aspx?id=16918&action=ShowArticle&ArticleID=39

The import/export part of eCom is still in the making so I wouldn't go for that one.

Hi,

I have some 1000 articles in around 5 languages to import to the Ecom soloution. Should I use the Ecom module "Import/Export" or should I write my own module?

If I want to write my own module, should I then go for a SQL soloution (inserting using SQL statments) or should I use the Dynamicweb API?

The Dynamicweb API - do you have samples of how to insert data using it?

Thank you :-)

Why not use the Integration module?

Hi Sten,

You could use the integration module, which is capable of importing data to the eCommerce.

But this module has some limitations, and another choice would be to wait until the next service release in April. This service release will include the import/export functionality.
