A_ACTIVEDATA (TB.Cat 1.4 Only)

ATTENTION:
Master data import with channel-specific article activation is not possible with TB.Cat 1.2/1.3. This node is only supported in TB.Cat 1.4.

The nodes <A_ACTIVEDATA> and <A_ACTIVE> define which articles will be exported to a channel and will be listed there. This provides a more granular control for the export of each article variant. Via these nodes it is possible to activate individual articles on specific channels without splitting the corresponding product.
Example: You offer a fashion product which contains articles from sizes XXS to 5XL. You could configure the export in such a way, that sizes from XS to L are offered on one channel and sizes from L to 5XL on another.

NODE

REQUIRED

DATA TYPE

DESCRIPTION

A_ACTIVEDATA

N

Node for channel-specific article activation

A_ACTIVEDATA / A_ACTIVE

Y

INT(0/1)

0 = deactivated
1 = activated

A_ACTIVEDATA / A_ACTIVE[channel]

Y

CHAR(12)

Channel sign of the corresponding channel, usually 4 characters

A_ACTIVE

N

INT(0/1)

Node for cross-channel article activation
0 = deactivated
1 = activated

 

ATTENTION:
For an article to be exported to a channel, the <A_ACTIVE> nodes on both hierarchical levels must contain the value "1".

In the example below, the article would be exported to the channel "ch_1" but not to "ch_2". If the value in the <A_ACTIVE> at the bottom were "0", the article would not be exported to either channel.

EXAMPLE:

<A_ACTIVEDATA> 

<A_ACTIVE channel="ch_1">1</A_ACTIVE> 

<A_ACTIVE channel="ch_2">0</A_ACTIVE> 

</A_ACTIVEDATA> 

<A_ACTIVE>1</A_ACTIVE>
