Publish catalog after XML batch import
Hello again,
For the first question, I found the answer myself - the isActive attribute was set to false and this is why the catalog wasn't automatically published. Now everything is OK.
For the second question, I included also the MetaData node (exactly like the Catalog Node structure) but without any effect.
Thank you,

Hi Evdin
Are you saying that the catalog in the XML file is the custom type? Or that one exists on the site, and it is changed upon importing the XML?

Hi,
The one that exists on the site because only this way you can create a custom type catalog. I don't have any way of specifying the metatype for the catalog that I import and it automatically gets converted to the standard / default catalog type.
Thank you,

Hello,
This question may sound pretty dumb but, so far, I wasn't able to find a real answer.
Long story short - I have a process through which I'm importing a catalog through XML files - this process works very well without any issues. My problem is the following: everytime the import process finishes, I see that the catalog is in "Edit mode" and it needs to be manually publish - don't understand why (sort of) but what I care is how can I publish the catalog at the end of the import process through an automated process (call a service API method or something). Can you please recommend any method?
Another strange question - starting few months ago (I don't remember the version) we can have a custom catalog model class that can have custom properties (like any other node / entry / etc.) - my problem is that after the batch import finishes I see that my catalog (that was created having a custom type) is now a standard Catalog type. Do I have any kind of way of setting the type of the catalog through the XML import?
Thank you,
Evdin.
