Pipelets for Import and Export in B2C Commerce
Use pipelets to import and export automatically within an application.

B2C Commerce exports masked versions if there’s no new encryption information. B2C Commerce marks orders as exported during execution. The UpdateExportStatus (boolean) input parameter enables you to specify how the order export status and on-order inventory are handled. When you use this pipelet to export orders, enable this parameter to update the Order Export status and the inventory. |

The Status output property represents the result of any B2C Commerce import operations (via a pipelet). The pipelet returns to the error connector if a process error occurs when executing the import. A process error prevents or interrupts the basic execution of the import. An example of a process error is when the specified import file doesn't exist on the file system. We recommend that client code consults Status object details to determine if there were any problems importing the individual data within the import file.
