About Exporting Siebel Product Catalogs to Oracle ATG Web Commerce

The following figure shows how Siebel product catalogs are exported to ATG Web Commerce.

Note: The administrator must manually add entities used by the Siebel Product Catalog, such as price lists, products, volume discounts, and so on, to a Web Content Export Content Job, in order to make these associated entities available in ATG Web Commerce.

When you export product catalogs, the Siebel application:

  • Aggregates Siebel Product Catalog entities into an export job

  • Exports any level of Siebel structured object. The functionality ensures that the parent object exists in ATG Web Commerce.

  • Supports both product initialization and product updates of entities in the Siebel product catalog

  • Supports lifecycle changes of these entities, with the object in the Siebel application viewed as the master

  • Includes the full structure of exported promotions and configurable products

  • Automatically exports a product’s class when you export the product

  • Automatically exports a price list line item’s Volume Discount when you export the line item
