Import Products to Visualsoft

This task will create new or update existing products in Visualsoft. See below for a sample input file.

Note

Visualsoft does not process product imports immediately. Any products sumbitted via this task will go into an import queue, ready for processing by Visualsoft.

Settings

Connection

Required
The Visualsoft connection to use. See the Connecting to Visualsoft article if you require more information on how to create/manage connections.

Fail File

Required
The XML file to save products that have not been added to Visualsoft's product import queue. The data will be written in the same format as the input file.

Note

Any products that were successfully queued for import into Visualsoft, but failed to acutally import, will not appear in the fail file.

Input File

Required
The XML file containing the products to import into Visualsoft.

Success File

Required
The XML file to save products that have been successfully added to Visualsoft's product import queue. The data will be written in the same format as the input file.

Note

The appearance of a product in the success file does not guarantee that it will import successfully into Visualsoft. It only indicates that the product has been successfully queued for import into Visualsoft. The import itself could fail.
