Hi,



Please extract table structure of catalog item into excel and fill some data into this.



After that please create a data source and transform maps.



If you want to apply some rules then you can apply in transform scripts.



And your work will be done.




But if you want to have some client script then you will have to do them manually by coding them here.



Thank you,
Ashutosh

Hi Gopinath,



We can always create them. But the thing is how you want to create them. What data you want to import from other application.

Hi Munot,


Thanks for your response. Here we had to create 300 different catalog, a solution was proposed to create a script template and by using this we should create our catalog based on the field included in our template which would reduce the manual work. Share your knowledge please.

Hi,



So what we have done initially is we had a excel template created. In this template we had variables, their name, their type, wether they are readonly, mandatory, visible.



This we called as Catalog migrator. Now if you have variable sets to be created then you have to include them to.



We even had some other options like which catalog and category this catalog items should go in. Then Owners of this catalog. How to control their visibility for certain groups and location.



Thank you,
