Product synchronisation

By default binded products and categories are synchronised every 24 hours with the search engine.

But you can force the export manually.

So keep in mind when you change a product it is not immediatly exported.

For exporting a product 2 step will be applied

• Recomputing the data that need to be exported (in json)
• Exporting it

Recomputing the data

For every product we store a formatted data version what will be exported.

A cron run every X time and will recompute this data and compare with the previous data send. If the data have changed the product is flagged to be exported.

Go to Setting > Technical > Automation > Scheduled Action

And click on Search Engine: recompute all index

Now click on run and go to the queue job menu to see what is happening

Take a look to Shopinvader > Variant and group by state.

Exporting the data

A cron is running every X time to generate a bacth export job.

Go to Setting > Technical > Automation > Scheduled Action

And click on Search Engine: Generate Job for exporting binding per index

After looking at the job and checking the state of the shopinvader variant.

Try to

• modify it
• recompute the data
• check that the state have change
• run the export, check the state
• and then check the result on the website

Tips

When developping it’s cool to sometime force, the export, re-synchronize the data between a corrupted index, dropping the data of the index…

For that you have some special action accessible from the shopinvader menu
