Effortlessly export custom XML files

The SAWS GenericXML Connector generates XML files from Contentserv for seamless integration with external systems. Similar to product and channel data in Product Information Management (PIM), the connector creates a structured XML copy of the data, which can be easily imported into target systems.

Features:

  • Export data with a custom XML structure
  • Connect to various target systems via HTTP and other transfer protocols
  • Filter exports for specific PIM sub-trees (e.g., select product groups)
  • Export images
  • Optional XML validation using XSD files in MAM
  • Export to local files or upload directly to remote systems
  • Monitored workflow with progress bar

Possible Target Systems:

  • BMEcat,
  • Salesforce,
  • Tradebyte,
  • Shoppingfeed
  • and other systems using XML as an exchange format.

Base Connector Features

Every SAWSConnector includes the SAWSConnector Suite, which offers many additional features to boost your efficiency when using the PIM and automating processes.

These features include:

  • Powerful tools like the Timeline App, To-Do App, and Variant Manager
  • Over 15 Active Jobs to automate tasks such as channel tree creation, smart document generation, and exporting DAM files to image libraries
  • SAWS Tables for managing prices, stock, sales channels, and complex articles (variants) to streamline fast-moving product data
  • AI-powered value transformation and Active Jobs
  • Access to Owl Cloud Services

The following chapters describe how to install and configure the components.
