Set up BMEcat 2005 Bundled-features Approach export channel (legacy document)

Using the ETIM classification standard for your BMEcat 2005, you need to add that data to the current site from where you're working. You must then add the ETIM output from the site as an additional data source to your current site. To accomplish this:

1. Go to Exports from your site's main menu to perform the Export to Data Source feature. Then, complete the configuration for your ETIM site export destination, including the data source settings for the current site.

2. The platform later bundles all attributes into the following four fields:

   • FNAME - Attribute name

   • FVALUE - Value

   • FUNIT - Unit of measure

   • FVALUE_DETAILS - Can contain additional valuable information or be empty

   Bundling lets you pass the ETIM information to BMEcat without needing to map or review the data again. This step saves you time later in the setup.

   1. Once you have added the additional data source with your ETIM data, go to Data Source and edit the data source by selecting the Edit cogwheel.

   2. Next, continue to the Advanced Settings tab and select I/O Settings. Then select Add and copy-paste the following XSLT code in the Transform XML with XSLTXSL Template field:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
          xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

          xmlns:fun="urn:com:productsup:xslt:functions"
          version="2.0">
      
      <xsl:output indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" cdata-section-elements="Name" />
      <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
      
      <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
          <xsl:copy>
              <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
          </xsl:copy>
      </xsl:template>
      
      <xsl:template match="FEATURE">
          <xsl:element name="FEATURE">
              <xsl:apply-templates select="FNAME"/>
              <xsl:for-each select="FVALUE">        
                  <xsl:if test=". = ''">

                      </xsl:element>
                  </xsl:if>
                  <xsl:if test=". != ''">
                      <xsl:element name="FVALUE">
                          <xsl:value-of select="." />
                      </xsl:element>
                  </xsl:if>
              </xsl:for-each>
              <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="FVALUE_DETAILS">
                      <xsl:element name="FVALUEDETAILS">
                        <xsl:value-of select="FVALUE_DETAILS"/>
                      </xsl:element>
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:otherwise>
                     <xsl:element name="FVALUEDETAILS">
                          <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
                     </xsl:element>
                  </xsl:otherwise>
              </xsl:choose>
              <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="FUNIT">
                      <xsl:element name="FUNIT">
                        <xsl:value-of select="FUNIT"/>
                      </xsl:element>
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:otherwise>
                     <xsl:element name="FUNIT">
                          <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
                     </xsl:element>
                  </xsl:otherwise>
               </xsl:choose>
      
              <!--<xsl:apply-templates select="FUNIT"/>-->
          </xsl:element>     
      </xsl:template>
      
      <xsl:template match="ARTICLES">
          <xsl:element name="ARTICLES">
              <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
          </xsl:element>
      </xsl:template>
      
      </xsl:stylesheet>

      

   3. Back in your data source Edit view, go to the Overview tab and scroll down to Content Options.

   4. Next, select XML Settings from the left-hand menu and enter the value 1 into the Bundle repeating nodes field. Then enter <###> in the Bundle delimiter field and select Save all settings.

   Now that you prepared the import sources, you can continue setting up the BMEcat 2005 export channel.

3. Go to Exports from your site's main menu and select ADD EXPORT. Search for BMEcat 2005 - Bundled-features Approach and select Add.

   

4. Give your export a custom name if desired. In this example, use the name BMEcat 2005 export. The custom name replaces the export name on the BMEcat - Bundled-features Approach Overview page. Then select Add.

5. Select Add Destination and choose your destination. For the following example, choose Productsup Server from the drop-down list. Give this destination a title in Name, for example, Internal FTP server, and select Save.

   

6. Go to the Settings tab and switch Export as XML to ON.

7. Continuing on the Settings page, enter the BMEcat header information beginning with the field GENERATOR_INFO.

   The BMEcat header does not send product descriptions. It only sends information concerning the identification and validity of the catalog, the catalog creator, receiver, and the underlying skeleton agreement. In addition, the BMEcat header contains applicable default values that it can place on all held products, for example, language and currency.

   Note

   Correctly entering BMEcat header information depends on the intended recipient's requirements for the BMEcat you are creating. If you are uncertain of the requirements, see Header beginning on page 21 in the Specification BMEcat 2005 PDF document.

8. Select Save to store the header fields information that you entered.

9. Exit Exports and go to Dataflow from your site's main menu.

To continue with the BMEcat setup by mapping attributes, take the following steps:

1. In Dataflow, map all the attributes you want to add to your BMEcat 2005 export.

   For the bundled attributes that come from the classification site, map them from import to export, as all the values were previously bundled inside of the four (4) fields referred to in step 2.

2. Go to Data View to review the data and, if required, add rule boxes to adjust your values. To learn more about rule box possibilities, see Optimize your product data with rule boxes.
