Batch options for the product mash

Batch options for the product mash

You can use batch options to run the product mash program from the command line, by default it will use the settings you have set up already but you can also specify command line arguments to enable you to product a slightly different file to the standard one. � This can be useful if for example you occassionally want to output to a different file name or to include duplicates sometimes and no others.

The command line arguements below are available, using these you can create and upload feeds. �You should test your feed is working as you want it to interactively before using the command line arguments.

Actions :


-B � � �� Run the Product Mash in batch mode. This must be used with either the ?M or ?U (or both) options.

-M � � �� Mash the feed(s). This will create the specified feeds from your Actinic products.

-U � � �� Upload the feeds. This will upload any feeds that have been configured (and can be uploaded).

Options :

-C� <rate> � � Convert prices using the given rate

-D <option> �Include duplicates,� Y = include duplicates, N = do not include duplicates

-H <option> �Include hidden products� Y = include hidden products, N = do not include hidden products

-O <option> ��The output filename for the feed produced to be stored in - only use this if you are exporting a single feed.

-T <option> �Specifies whether to add tax to the prices in the created feed,� Y = add prices, N = do not add prices.

Feeds to include and feed types :

-F � <listoffeeds>� �� The feeds to Mash and/or Upload. To include a particular feed you should include the feed name (as described below). The string included after the ?F must not have any spaces in. When including more than 1 feed name you shouldn't?t include any spaces between them.
