Catalog Import Properties Dialog Box

Use the Catalog Import Properties dialog box to specify the data to be imported from your catalog database(s) by the Catalog Import DTS task. Importing catalog data provides transaction reports that have more descriptive product information than is available in transaction data. You can also run reports to analyze the sale of products.

If you perform a Data Warehouse level operation to import catalog data for all sites associated with the Data Warehouse, and if two or more sites have catalog and products with the same names, the Catalog data import DTS task processes the catalogs as if they have the same properties. If the catalogs do not have the same properties, you must perform a Site level operation.

Incremental load

Select to only import new catalog data generated since the last time that you ran the import process.

Full load

Select to import all catalog data in the log file.

Number of retries
