Configure Product Import for AX

The product import functionality uses the Sana Commerce task scheduler. The configuration of the 'Product Import' task is performed in the 'sanaCommerce' configuration section of the backoffice 'web.config' file.

To configure the 'Product Import' task:

Step 1: Open the backoffice 'web.config' file.

Step 2: Locate the 'sanaCommerce' configuration section.

Step 3: Locate the 'tasks' subsection:

<task name="ProductImport"
      title="Product import"
      type="Sana.Commerce.Tasks.Import.ProductImportTask, Sana.Commerce.Tasks.ProductImport"
      time="9:00"
      enabled="false"
      sourceCustomerProviderId="AXCustomerProvider"
      sourceCatalogProviderId="AXCatalogProvider"
      destinationWebsiteCode="B2xSql"
      sourceWebsiteCode="B2xAX"
      importOnlyModified="true"
      batchSize="10"
      horizontalVariantComponentGroupCode="Size"
      horizontalVariantComponentGroupTitle="size"
      verticalVariantComponentGroupCode="Color"
      verticalVariantComponentGroupTitle="color"
      normalVariantComponentGroupCode="Variant"
      normalVariantComponentGroupTitle="variant"
      allowManualStart="true"
      sortNumber="1"/>
