Referencing existing Address in ImpEx.

[Former Member]

I am creating an ImpEx for PaymentInfo and it has a billingAddress field of type Address. But the AddressModel does not have a "code" field for me to reference it in the ImpEx (like billingAddress(code)).

How should I do it?

INSERT_UPDATE PaymentInfo; code[unique = true]; billingAddress(WHAT_HERE?)

Thanks in advance.

Make your impex translator, which will use the impex line content for address identification

You can do it using Document ID. More information at https://wiki.hybris.com/display/release5/ImpEx+Syntax#ImpExSyntax-DocumentID

I have mentioned the following example from the link that I have shared above:

 INSERT Address; &addrID ; owner( Customer.uid ); ...
 ; addr1 ; andi ; ...
 
 INSERT Customer; uid[unique=true]; ...; defaultPaymentAddress( &addrID ); ...
 ; andi; ...; addr1 ; ...

Thanks for the response Arvind.

In my case, the addresses already exists in the database. Also, in our initial data ImpExes, we would like to keep the addresses separated in a different and independent ImpEx file.

I don't know very much about the "&addrID" but it looks like it works as reference only for the same ImpEx file, is it correct?
