Updates

Best practice

This guide outlines best practices when pushing product data to Omnium, focusing on efficient synchronization and asset handling.

Product Synchronization

• Use PatchMany whenever possible.

  • Reduces system load and ensures that only relevant properties are updated.
  • Ideal for continuous synchronization of specific changes to selected products.

• Use UpdateMany for full product catalog syncs (e.g., nightly or weekly).

  • Updates only products that have changed.
  • Improves performance and scalability.

• Avoid using AddMany except for an initial population of products.

Handling Assets

When performing full product syncs (e.g., nightly/weekly), it's important to control asset updates carefully to avoid unintended uploads.

• Use UpdateMany for asset-related updates.
• Ensure that ForceUpload is set to false.
• Only change the ExternalUrl of an asset when the underlying image has actually changed.
