Product Image Import

The Product image import task is used to link images either from the Sana's file manager or from the ERP system to the products. Product images are shown on the product pages in the Sana webstore.

This task automatically resizes product images and puts them to the small, medium and large folders on the Web server according to their size. This is done because product images of different sizes are used in the Sana webstore. After that, product images are linked to the related products based on the item numbers and shown in the Sana webstore.

For more information, see Product Images.

Set Up the Product Image Import Task

Settings

Description

Run on schedule

Use this option to enable automatic running of the Product image import task according to the configured schedule, or disable it to allow only manual start of the task.

If you enable Run on schedule, you should enter either the interval in minutes when the task should run automatically or the fixed time.

Run interval (in minutes)

Enter the time interval in minutes when the task should run automatically.

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 webstore administrator receives an e-mail with the name of the task that failed, the name of the webstore, which is useful in case you have several webstores, when the task failed, and the error message. Thanks to this, the webstore administrator can quickly respond to problems with data synchronization.

Batch size

Maximum interval between retries (seconds)

Enter the maximum interval between retries. When some product images cannot be indexed for some reason, the task will make another attempt during the specified time interval.

Maximum retries count

Enter the maximum retries count. When some product images cannot be indexed for some reason, this value specifies how many times the task should try to index them again.

Maximum items to skip before failure

Enter the maximum items to skip before failure. When some product images cannot be indexed for some reason, this value specifies how many product images can be skipped before the task fails.

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.

Import product images from ERP

Use this option to import product images from ERP. If product images are available in your ERP system, they can be imported to Sana and shown in the webstore. You can equally use the procedure which Sana provides out-of-the-box to add product images from the Web server and those images which are already present in your ERP system.
