Importing variations/packages from external system (Commerce 8.14.0)

I’m currently trying to migrate EPiServer website (CMS 6.2 and Commerce R1) to the latest versions for both products. With the new content system in Commerce, how can I import product data from external system to Commerce? The old way seems to work (CatalogDto, SaveEntry, etc.) but it doesn’t handle delayed publish content (example, ContentArea). If I delayed publish content to be visible in 3 days, how can I apply update from our external system to this delayed content?

Hi,

You can use IContentRepository with CatalogContentBase (NodeContent/EntryContentBase) and so on. You might need to define the catalog content strongly typed types to use that.

Hi,

I've tried IContentRepository but this technique don’t seems to work with delayed publish. If the external system update via IContentRepository, I need to update the current version and any delayed versions.

Example

Product #123 (Current Version)

CubicVolume = 33.35

Product #123 (Delayed version (2 days))

TopContentArea = (Blocks added)
CubicVolume = 33.25

Product #123 (Update with IContentRepository before delayed version)

CubicVolume = 40.25

In this example, delayed version will erase any changes done by the external system since we create this version. Can we fix this issue?
