SAP Commerce Hybris 1811 | Synchronizing products with always moving base products

141 Views Last edit May 28, 2020 at 07:03 AM 2 rev

Hi,

For a very long I have been looking to Identify the reason why the products in our online catalogs were getting deleted.

I came across functionality that was there in our project I didn't know about.
Basically it enabled to move Variants from one BaseProduct to another(calling it regrouping of variants)
Apparently the Product editors are using it to solve the sorting order and search preferences. I think it is a very weird and a complicated way of solving such an easy problem.

Is this moving of variants normal in custom Implementations?

Also, I understood why the products were getting deleted sometimes, basically, the sync property for the baseProduct->Variants is copybyvalue true.

ex. Base1-> Var1, move Var1 under Base2. now sync Base1 the online Base1 would delete the target version of the Var1.

I saw that disabling the copybyvalue helps me here. But also OOTB is setting it to true as default.

Please suggest!!

Also would there be other issues because of this regrouping that I might not come across.
