- Create a new comfort variable: Organization > Season parameters > Custom variables
- Create a new external interface "Firehose Product" with type "Prodnum ProdNum plugin": Organization > Tools > External Interface > List of Interfaces
- The Comfort Variable Code setup in the plugin has to be the same with the code defined earlier in Custom variable (e.g. "prodNum")
- Input value in the Counting Offset (the starting number which is updated incrementally by 1 for new found product)
- Sequence name is a technical ID that is generated by the system to support multiple ProdNum interfaces that are scheduled to run simultaneously, each interface holds a unique Sequence Name (i.e A product can have multiple numbers generated by different ProdNum interfaces, sequence name is to count the numbers separately for each interface running and assign them for a product)
- Create a batch to run automatically
...
- After creating a product successfully, it will automatically set a new Custom Variable with value calculated by the interface
- Which products are considered to be updated by the interface?
- Product which is created
- Product is updated
(If a product already has the "prodNum" Comfort Variable value, it is skipped by the interface) - If you need all existing products to be "force updated" by the batch, a migration script must be run on the DB.
