Design Overview
This wrapper batch program is used to make an entry in the MERCHAPI_ASYNC_REQUEST table for data refresh requests. There are two data refresh types: one is TRUNCATE_AND_LOAD and the other one is REBUILD.
-
TRUNCATE_AND_LOAD will be used for severe data corruption.
-
REBUILD is used to build the JSON message for all the records.
The LAST_UPDATE_DATETIME update is dependent on the value of REFRESH_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP_IND. The silent update (REBUILD with no timestamp update) is applicable when a new field is added or removing the deprecated fields and don’t want to force-publish these changes. REBUILD with timestamp update is used in case of data discrepancies within Merchandising and Cache table or Merchandising and consuming system.
