2.2 General Concept

We follow Katana PIM documentation on building this connector so you can easily use the connector based on Katana PIM Documentation.

Entity

It’s the entity you want to subscribe from Katana PIM. Please refer to the entities in Katana PIM Documentation.

Request Parameters

These are the parameters you can provide to get the needed entity based on Katana PIM Documentation. Please look at the example below on how to fill Request Parameters field when subscribing Single Request entity

  • Path is the path parameter of the url. For example the {id}.
  • Query is defined set of parameters attached to the end of a url.
    Example: www.url.com?type=true&start=0

This is an example to get manufacturers with the name Alumio. We provide the same query title as the Katana PIM Documentation provided which is “manufacturerFilterModel.name”.

Input Transformer

Any transformer’s set here will be executed after the Request Parameters loaded. So, you basically can add any transformer to provide and transform the request parameters into anything you need either as path parameters and/or as query parameters of an entity.

HTTP Client

It’s the HTTP Client configuration or prototype you will use to access Katana PIM.
