Impex to update contentslot with flexiblesearch

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an impex which runs everyday. So, I want to append the component to existing content slot. Since my impex runs everyday, it's adding the same component everyday. Can i have an impex that just updates the component only once.

Hi - please remove [append=true] from you ImpEx header and it should fulfil your requirement.

Hi - did it work?

Hi Since it is an existing content slot, it will have have already existing components assigned. I am trying to add new component and this impex file runs everyday. Since the components are different in lower environment and production, i have to go with append mode.

In your impex header, use [append=true] for component. Now it will append components instead of updating with single value.

Thanks for the reply Krinhn. Sorry if i have not explained it properly. Below is the example. If i execute below 5 times, component1 will be appended 5 times. But i want this component to be appended only once even i execute multiple times. I think it requires flexibleSearch in impex to do that.

 INSERT_UPDATE ContentSlot   ;$contentCV[unique=true]    ;uid[unique=true]    ;cmsComponents(uid,$contentCV)[append=true]
                             ;                            ;testSlot1            ;component1
