Value Readers
This article describes the base function that every Value Reader within the Connector uses. The specific articles about each individual Value Reader will not repeat this explanation.
The Value Readers are what is exported and formatted from Contentserv. In your detailed logs, you can also see this step (as shown in the screenshot). In Contentserv terms, the loaded values of the reader are referred to as getValues or ContentservValueDetails.
As their generic term Value Readers already suggests, Value Readers are designed to read values. The type of reader you select determines what is being read. For example, the PIM Product Reader is most commonly used to read products from the PIM. In this case, the reader only processes product values that are bound to attributes and classes. Additionally, the PIM Product Reader can also read DAM references linked to the product.
As you can see, a Value Reader is simply the tool for your purpose. If you want to read only attributes, select the Attribute Reader. While all Value Readers essentially just read values, what exactly is read depends on the type of reader you choose.
In most cases, the purpose of a Value Reader can already be derived from its name. However, if you are unsure which reader fits your use case, you can refer to the dedicated article for each Value Reader. There you will find detailed explanations about what the reader can process, for which use cases it is suitable, and how to configure it properly.
