Hi Guys.

Do you have an example of correct CSV format for importing products.
We have tried several variants, but no luck - the module just stucks on "Starting batch" message. See the screencast:

Thanks in advance.

 Hi Ivan,

Sorry about the very late response! We'll try and do better in the future!

 

Given that you use the Ecom Provider of the Data Intagration, all you really need is 

ProductName, ProductNumber, ProductPrice, Group

 

The group may be the name of the group or it may be the GroupID. If you provide a ProductID we'll set it, if you don't we'll assign an ID automatically. The same goes for importing groups.

Basically, you can make a new activity that has the source of Ecom Provider and CSV as destination. At the mapping choose to export products only. This will generate a CSV. The format of that CSV is the one you should use.

 

If you have further questions, don't hesitate...then we'll try not to also!   :-)

Regards /Snedker

 PS: The thing where you're stuck at the "Starting batch" has been corrected in upcoming release. Until then you may download the upcoming Application here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/175230/dw/Application%288.0.1.5%29.zip. 

Note that this is not officially released you, but you just take the two assemblies
- Dynamicweb.Data.dll
- Dynamicweb.Data.Providers.dll

and drop those to your application. That will fix your problem as well.
