The Geometrixx demo scenario is already set up with the installation of the content packages. You only need to run the steps below if data has changed on the IS 7 side that should be imported into the AEM.

Export - IS 7 Data Feeds

There are pre-configured data feeds on the IS 7 side to export the product and catalog data into files. These data feeds will later be imported into the AEM.
The data feeds can be found under Geometrixx > Outdoors > Channel Catalogs > Data Feeds

Import - AEM

Actual product information imported from Intershop or any other source is held in the CRX repository under:

/etc/commerce/products

The current version does not take care for the deletion of obsolete catalogs & products.  

Delete the existing product data from the AEM

If required, before the actual import, delete all existing product data using CRXDE Lite:

  1. Navigate to Commerce - Products in the AEM and select Intershop Geometrixx Outdoors Products folder.

  2. Select all products and click Delete.

There is a variety of ways to import product and catalog data. The product and catalog data can be imported when initially setting up the environment, or after changes have been made in the Intershop data.

The import supports both, full import and incremental import. A full import assumes an import of complete product or catalog data. Therefore the full import deletes all existing data in the selected area and re-creates all the products or catalogs from the given input data file. The incremental import keeps the existing product or catalog data and updates this data with the contents in the given input data file.

Product Data Import

Full Product Data Import (Including Images)

A full import assumes an import of complete product or catalog data. Therefore the full import deletes all existing data in the selected area and re-creates all the products or catalogs from the given input data file.

Automated Product Import

There is a product import job that can import product data automatically into AEM. The job is disabled per default. To enable the job you need to configure it in the AEM Web Console Configuration http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr Look for the name 'Intershop Product Import Job' and click on the name to change the configuration. Edit the 'Product CSV Path' to point to the location of the export files of the intershop location and check the 'Job Enabled' checkbox to enable the job.

The other default values will match the default feed configuration and must only be changed if you have set up different feeds or a different store. By default the job runs every 30 seconds to check if one of the given files in the list is changed. The schedule expression uses a quartz cron expression. See Quarz Scheduler Documentation for more information. If a changed file is detected the product import is started immediately. The first file in the list is assumed to be a full import file. If this file changes the import runs as a full import. Other files in the list of Product CSV File Names are assumed to contain incremental product data and an incremental import is run if one of these files are changed.

Currently only product data and no catalog import CSVs are supported for automated import.

Promotion

Preamble : Since a sync between Intershop and Adobe Promotions is yet to be implemented, promotions need to be maintained on both systems to display some promotion specific content.

Documentation: Create a promotion in AEM.

To add some promotion specific content on the Geometrixx Outdoors storefront, it is currently necessary to create the promotion also in the AEM.
Therefore, a Marketing Manager has to create a customer segment within the AEM, which serves as a promotion rule.
Afterwards a campaign is needed to cluster all promotion specific content, which is related to a defined customer segment.

You can find all information about the creation of a promotion in the AEM here: Create a Promotion in Adobe

Further documentation: http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/author/personalization/campaigns.html

Due to the fact that the Intershop system handles the basket calculation, it is also necessary to create and manage the promotions in the Intershop system.

Up to now these promotion discount types are working:

  • Order promotions
  • Shipping promotions
