ATG Endeca Data Integration Diagram - v3.1.x

Integration Overview 

The basic workflow diagram to show integration of the ATG product catalog with Endeca.

As seen in the diagram above, the data integration supports the publication of Product or SKU and Category assets directly into Endeca Content Acquisition System (CAS) Record Stores. The developer can control the type and granularity of assets published via the Product Exporter and the Category Exporter.

The Product Exporter behavior is managed by the Product Indexing Configuration file, which specifies the granularity and inclusion of product or SKU assets.

The Category Exporter is managed by the Category Indexing Configuration, which specifies the export of the Category to Dimension.

The Schema Exporter, managed by the Schema Indexing Configuration, exports schema information to Endeca.

Operationally, the publication of ATG assets and creation of the corresponding Endeca index is controlled by the ATG Web Commerce Product Catalog Indexing Administrator (Indexing Admin). The Indexing Admin invokes the Endeca Application Controller (EAC), which controls the creation and publication of the Endeca index throughout your production or staging environment.

The EAC, via configurable Endeca Deployment Template modules, controls the orchestration of the Endeca index creation process. Further, the EAC orchestrates the publication of the built Endeca index to all configured production or staging servers and ensures that the Endeca MDEX is running.

Indexing Using ATG Dynamo Administration UI  

Navigate to the ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin component to invoke the Endeca baseline Indexing process or partial update where localhost and 8080 are the host and HTTP port of your production ATG instance (or publishing instance, if you are using publishing).
