Because the code that exports product data from a given data management system will vary with the system, this guide does not document how to write such code or provide examples of it. For information about how to export your product data, refer to the documentation for the system that you use to create and store it.

Oracle recommends that you export product data to XML files, which you then import into a CAS record store. In the XML file, product data must be represented as a series of property:property value pairs; for example:

<PROP NAME="camera.warranty">      
  <PVAL>2 year limited warranty.</PVAL>    
</PROP>    
<PROP NAME="camera.Minimum RAM">      
  <PVAL>512</PVAL>    
</PROP>    
<PROP NAME="product.sku">      
  <PVAL>1000751</PVAL>    
</PROP>
<PROP NAME="common.id">
  <pval>a231ad32</pval>
</PROP>
