  • # Is a comment
  • $ has several meanings (depending on context)
  • The file extension is irrelevant, it doesn't even need to be .impex

You should read the impex documentation. It is very well documented.

Impex files uses Comma-Separated Values, it allows for exemple creating, updating, removing items.

$ Macro definitions for exemple $namemacro=name1 each time we have namemacro in the impex file, it is replaced by name1.

ImpEx is an integrated text-based import/export extension for creating, updating, removing, and exporting platform items.

For Example, I've created a demo project named training in which I can add product catalog by importing this ImpEx

$productCatalog=trainingProductCatalog $classificationCatalog=trainingClassification $catalogVersion=catalogversion(catalog(id[default=$productCatalog]),version[default='Staged'])[unique=true,default=$productCatalog:Staged] $languages=ja,en,de,zh

Product catalog

INSERT_UPDATE Catalog;id[unique=true] ;$productCatalog
