    Default What does <Mappings AutoCleanup="boolean"> do?

    I haven't been able to get the Mapping operative to work for me but I discovered that I can do the same thing with a Product Action=Update operative and specifying the Mapping tag.

    I've successfully mapped a thousand products in the past week this way.

    Now I'd like to remove some mappings for some old products. I'm wondering what the AutoCleanup="boolean" option does? I set it to false for my updates. Can I set it to true to "unmap?" Or can I use Product Action=Delete and then specify the mappings I want to delete?

    Is there a best way to use WSI to delete unwanted mappings?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    For example, given you have product '1204' and it is currently mapped to these categories {139, 140, 142, 143}. If you send the following XML command below via web service:

    <AspDotNetStorefrontImport Verbose="true">
    <Product Action="Update" ID="1204">
    <Mappings AutoCleanup="true">
    <Entity EntityType="Category" ID="142"/>
    <Entity EntityType="Category" ID="143"/>
    </Mappings>
    </Product>
    </AspDotNetStorefrontImport>


    Since AutoCleanUp="true", the rest of the Category IDs that were not specified in the request will be cleaned up.
