    Default Mapping entity (product) questions

    Hi,

    In products say i want to update only the category mappings for a product:

    <AspDotNetStorefrontImport Verbose="true" UseImplicitTransactions="true">
    <Product Action="Update" ID="187">
    <Mappings AutoCleanup="true" PreserveExistingRecords="true">
    <Entity EntityType="Category" ID="42"/>
    <Entity EntityType="Category" ID="43"/>
    </Mappings>
    </Product>
    </AspDotNetStorefrontImport>

    If autocleanup is given as true then it cleans up all the mappings for the product (manufacturer, section, etc.) and not just the category. Is there any way by which only the categories are cleaned up when this update is done?

    If autocleanup is false then nothing is cleaned up (as expected) and PreserveExistingRecords has not effect for either true or false. Is this expected or it should still work with autocleanup being set to true?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you are still looking for an answer, try using the <ClearMappings EntityType="Category"> node.

    Full syntax:
    <ClearMappings EntityType="Manufacturer|Distributor|Category|Sect ion|Genre|Vector" ID="integer" GUID="uniqueidentifier"/>

    From the example above, that will clear all product mappings to any given entity.
