Date Port not working

Post by SethMW » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:05 am

I exported products to CSV. A field was updated for each product, and I am trying to use the CSV Data Upload, but it is not working. If I select "IMPORT new objects, UPDATE existing objects" all products get duplicated. If I select "Only UPDATE existing objects" nothing gets updated. The ProductIDs in the CSV match what is in the ac_Products table, but the importer doesn't seem to be making the connection.

Is this broken?

Could you please post the CSV in question here with some entries that are being imported instead of being updated?
Also have a look at following thread
viewtopic.php?f=61&t=11578
and may you are having a similar issue.

Your CSV is not properly formated. In the very start it got an invalid character

Code: Select all

"""ProductId""",StoreId,Name,Price,CostOfGoods,MSRP,Weight,Length,Width,Height,Manufacturer,Sku,ModelNumber,DisplayPage,TaxCode,Shippable,WarehouseId,Warehouse,InventoryModeId,InStock,InStockWarningLevel,ThumbnailUrl,ThumbnailAltText,ImageUrl,ImageAltText,Summary,Description,ExtendedDescription,Vendor,CreatedDate,LastModifiedDate,ProductTemplate,IsFeatured,IsProhibited,AllowReviews,AllowBackorder,WrapGroup,ExcludeFromFeed,HtmlHead,DisablePurchase,MinQuantity,MaxQuantity,VisibilityId,Theme,IconUrl,IconAltText,IsGiftCertificate,Categories,UseVariablePrice,MinimumPrice,MaximumPrice,SearchKeywords,HidePrice,MSExcelWorkAround
the correct should be

Code: Select all

"ProductId",StoreId,Name,Price,CostOfGoods,MSRP,Weight,Length,Width,Height,Manufacturer,Sku,ModelNumber,DisplayPage,TaxCode,Shippable,WarehouseId,Warehouse,InventoryModeId,InStock,InStockWarningLevel,ThumbnailUrl,ThumbnailAltText,ImageUrl,ImageAltText,Summary,Description,ExtendedDescription,Vendor,CreatedDate,LastModifiedDate,ProductTemplate,IsFeatured,IsProhibited,AllowReviews,AllowBackorder,WrapGroup,ExcludeFromFeed,HtmlHead,DisablePurchase,MinQuantity,MaxQuantity,VisibilityId,Theme,IconUrl,IconAltText,IsGiftCertificate,Categories,UseVariablePrice,MinimumPrice,MaximumPrice,SearchKeywords,HidePrice,MSExcelWorkAround
Update your CSV header line with second one and try again.
