|
Settings |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Run on schedule |
Use this option to enable automatic running of the Product data export task according to the configured schedule, or disable it to allow only manual start of the task. |
|
Run interval (in minutes) |
Enter the time interval in minutes when the task should run automatically. |
|
Run time |
Enter the fixed time when the task should run automatically. For the fixed time, the time of the server is used. |
|
Send e-mail to administrator when task has failed |
Use this option to enable or disable e-mail notifications when a scheduled task fails. If the scheduled task has failed, the web store administrator receives an e-mail with the name of the task that failed, the name of the web store, which is useful in case you have several web stores, when the task failed, and the error message. Thanks to this, the web store administrator can quickly respond to problems with data synchronization. |
|
Batch size |
Enter the quantity of products that should be handled in one batch. |
|
Verify if images exist |
Enable this option to check the existing product images. For example, initially 4 images were added to a product, but 3 images were deleted over time. Even though the product images are deleted and not shown in the web store anymore, the records of these images can be still present in the database. That is why, if this option is enabled, the images will be checked and only valid product images which are shown in the web store will be exported to the file. In this case, only 1 product image will be exported. If the option is disabled, then product images will not be checked and both, valid images and the records of non-existent images from the database, if there are any, will be exported to the file. In this case, all 4 images will be exported. |
|
Maximum archived log files |
Enter the maximum number of log files to store. If this number exceeds, the oldest log file will be removed and the new one will be created. |
Before running the Product data export scheduled task, product information must be already retrieved from ERP by running the Product import scheduled task. For more information, see Product Data Export.
When you run the Product data export scheduled task, all products will be exported to the XML, JSON or CSV file. You can download the file with the exported product information either from the File manager or directly from the Product feed export add-on configuration page. To see the file with the exported product information in the File manager, in Sana Admin click: Tools > File manager. Then, go to the following directory: My Content > product feeds > [webstore ID] > product feed export. Right-click on the file and click Download to download the file with product information.
If you need the URL of the created XML, JSON or CSV file, it is built in the following format:
[webstore domain]content/files/Product%20feeds/[webstore ID]/Product%20feed%20export/[file name].[file extension]
Examples:
https://sana-store.com/content/files/Product%20feeds/SanaStore/Product%20feed%20export/productfeed.xml
https://sana-store.com/content/files/Product%20feeds/SanaStore/Product%20feed%20export/productfeed.csv
