SAP CX Cloud: Initializing a Catalog with Bulk Upload

[former_member677118]

Is there a way to initialize a Catalog in SAP CX using a Bulk Upload to add Product Attributes and Categories?

The bulk import of the actual attribute names or metadata can be done for the classification system but not for attributes on the item it self. For modifying item you need to adapt items xml.

Impex can also be used to add attributes names or metadate via classification system. See

Also here the electronics store sample data is a good reference how todo that. In the folder

hybris/bin/modules/b2c-accelerator/electronicsstore/resources/electronicsstore/import/sampledata/productCatalogs/electronicsProductCatalog

you can find a file categories-classifications.impex which show how to create the metadata information via impex.

You can do it via Impex module see

The following options are available to get the impex importet:

The approach with project data is also used in accelerator to import e.g. electronics store data. This can be used as reference for your implementation

Thank you for your response, Christoph. My apologies, I should have been more precise in my question. What I'm looking for is a way to bulk import the actual attribute names or metadata, not their values, e.g. "Product SKU", "Product Description", "Product Color", not "12345", "T-Shirt","Blue", etc.. I want to create/extend a store catalog with many attributes, and I was wondering if there is a way to do that in bulk instead of manually. Thanks, again.
