Tutorial: Customizing the Data Load utility to encrypt data
This tutorial demonstrates how to customize the Data Load utility to load user and password information into the WebSphere Commerce database
separately.
For security reasons, the Data Load utility does not load user password information from CSV files into the WebSphere Commerce database by default. After user
information is loaded into the database from a CSV file, the value for the user passwords is set to NULL.
After user data is loaded to the WebSphere Commerce database, each user password is automatically reset the first time that a user attempts to logon to the
store. The password is reset regardless of the password that was entered at logon time, since the password in the database is null.
This automatic reset of the null password at logon time can be disabled by setting the following flag in the instance configuration file to false:
MemberSubSystem/ResetPassword/resetNullPasswordEnabled
This flag is enabled by default when the Foundation feature of WebSphere Commerce 7 Feature Pack 3 is enabled. An email is sent to the user with a temporary
password that they can use to log on to the store and then change the password.
This tutorial shows you how to handle user password information by customizing the Data Load utility to load user passwords separately from the users.
Learning objectives
After completing this tutorial, you should be able to:
Configure the Data Load utility.
Extend the generic table loader.
Encrypt data by using Java classes.

Creating a CSV file with user password information
In this lesson, you create a new CSV file that contains the user password information to load into the WebSphere Commerce database.
Note: This tutorial demonstrates how to write a custom column handler and encrypt a clear text password by using the WCPasswordEncrypter class. It assumes
that customers obtain password input (plain message text) from the external system by using their own encryption algorithm for password encryption and
decryption. If you do not want to define clear text password information in a CSV file, you can use an alternative method to define user password information:
Export the user logon ID and encrypted password in the CSV file. Modify the PasswordHandler tutorial code to decrypt the encrypted user password before
the WCPasswordEncrypter class is called to encrypt the user password information.
Create a custom data reader to read the user logon ID and password directly from the external system. By reading the ID and password directly you can
ensure that no clear text or encrypted passwords are saved in a CSV file. Use the custom data reader to decrypt the user password by using your own
algorithm. By combining the custom data reader with the customized PasswordHandler, you can securely load the user password into the database.
Sample data is provided in the WCDE_installdircomponentsfoundationsamplesDataloadMemberPerson directory. In this step, you load the sample
customer data into the USERREG database table. Then, load the corresponding password information into the database table separately after the customization
is complete.
Procedure
1. Ensure that your WebSphere Commerce Server is stopped before you run the Data Load utility. For more information about stopping your server,
see Starting and stopping WebSphere Commerce Test Server.
2. To load the sample customer data into the USERREG database table, enter the following command:
./dataload.sh ../components/foundation/samples/DataLoad/Member/Person/wc-dataload.xml
dataload ..componentsfoundationsamplesDataLoadMemberPersonwc-dataload.xml
3. Verify the results of the data load:
a. Review the Data Load utility summary report. For more information, see Verifying the results of the data load.
b. Query the USERREG database table to verify that the data for the registered customers is loaded into the table.
Note: The values for the following columns are set to null:
LOGONPASSWORD
SALT
After the customization is complete, the encrypted data for these columns is loaded into the database table.
4. Create the WCDE_installdircomponentsfoundationsamplesDataloadMemberPassword directory.
5. In this directory, create the MemberDataload_Password.csv file.
6. Copy the following content into your MemberDataload_Password.csv file:
logonId logonPassword
jacobsmith shopper1
ryanjohnson shopper2
olivialee shopper3
This CSV file provides the user passwords for three different customers. The encrypted data for these passwords is loaded into the USERREG database
table after the customization is complete.
7. Save and close the file.

Extending the generic table loader to encrypt user passwords
In this lesson, you create a new Java class to implement the ColumnHandler interface to encrypt user password data.
Create a custom column handler to resolve data from database columns that are based on input values that cannot be mapped to the column value through the
configuration. For example, if your input to populate the password column in the database is a clear text password, but the column in the database table
expects an encrypted value, create a custom column handler to encrypt the clear text password and return an encrypted password from the resolveColumnValue()
method.
Procedure
1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer.
2. Switch to the Java EE perspective.
3. In the Enterprise Explorer view, navigate to WebSphereCommerceServerExtensionsLogic > src.
4. Right-click src; then click New > Package.
5. In the Name field, type com.mycompany.commerce.dataload.password. Click Finish to create a new package.
6. Right-click com.mycompany.commerce.dataload.password; then click New > Class.
7. In the Name field, type PasswordEncryptionHandler.
8. From the Superclass field, click Browse to browse for the AbstractColumnHandler abstract class; then click OK.
9. Click Finish to create the class. A new file opens for editing.
10. Paste the following code snippet into the new file:
package com.mycompany.commerce.dataload.password;

public String resolveColumnValue(Map<String, String> parameterMap,
ExtendedTableDataObject extendedTableDataObject) throws DataLoadException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
final String METHODNAME = "resolveColumnValue";
/* Enable the log trace for the method */
if (LoggingHelper.isEntryExitTraceEnabled(LOGGER)){

}
/* Call API to get the salt value */
String salt = MemberDataLoadHelper.generateSalt(); 1
/* Store the salt value back into the USREEG table */
extendedTableDataObject.addColumnData 2 ("SALT", salt);
String password = parameterMap.get("logonPassword");
String InstanceconfigLocation = parameterMap.get(INSTANCE_CONFIG_LOCATION);
String customKeyConfigLocation = parameterMap.get(CUSTOM_KEY_CONFIG_LOCATION);
String encryptedPWD = null;

try {

return encryptedPWD ;
}
}
1 generateSalt()
Generates a random salt string with a length of 12 characters.
2 extendedTableDataObject.addColumnData
Extends TableDataObject to include more ID resolver information for certain database table columns. This class represents a row in a physical
database table such as USERREG. addColumnData takes the column name and value as input for Salt and adds the value back to the SALT
column in the USERREG database table.
3 initializeKeyRegistry
Initializes the key registry by providing one of the following parameters:
customKeyConfigFilename
Specifies the full path to the custom key configuration file when the merchant key is stored in an external medium.
instanceXMLFilename
Specifies the full path to the instance configuration XML file when the merchant key is stored within the instance configuration file.
If both parameters are specified, an initial attempt is made to initialize the key registry with the custom key configuration file. If that fails, an
attempt is made to initialize the key registry with the instance configuration file.
4 encryptPassword
Returns the WebSphere Commerce encrypted password with the given clear text password and salt. The caller of this method must first initialize
the key registry by calling the initializeKeyRegistry(String instanceXMLFilename, String customKeyConfigFilename) method.

Customizing the Data Load utility for XML input
This tutorial demonstrates how to customize the data load utility to load data from an XML file.
Note: Support for loading XML formatted files with the Data Load utility is provided by default. You do not have to complete this customization to use
XML formatted input files with the Data Load utility. For more information about the supported format for Data Load utility input files, see File format for Data
Load input files.
If your XML files use a different format than the format that is supported by default, you can use this tutorial to help you create an XML reader that supports
the XML format of your files.
In the tutorial "Adding new properties to a WebSphere Commerce service by using the data service layer", you customize the catalog service. The customization
adds support warranty information and care instructions for catalog entries. Now, you load the warranty and care instruction information into your target
database by using the Data Load utility.
The following diagram shows the data load process flow.
1. The data reader reads the input file, and transforms the input into a data object. Data objects are typically Map objects.
2. The business object builder instantiates the business object and populates it from the data in the data object.
3. The business object mediator converts the business object into physical object.
4. The data writer writes the physical object into the database.
The provided CSV reader reads the input files and creates Map objects. XML files are difficult to represent in a Map object because they have complex
structures. In this scenario, you create a reader that builds the logical object directly from the input XML file. Since this reader is creating a logical object, the
default business object builder is used. The default business object builder returns the input data object without changing it.
Learning objectives
After completing this tutorial, you should be able to complete the following tasks.
Create your XML data reader
Configure the Data Load utility to use your data reader and mediator

Next >

Creating an XML input file
In this lesson, you create an XML file to contain the catalog entry, warranty, and care instruction data to load with the Data Load utility.
The XML file is based on the data that is created in the Tutorial: Extending a BOD service to manage UserData with the Data Service layer. This file contains
catalog entry base and description information, warranty information, and care instruction information, which extends the catalog entry object.
Procedure
1. Create the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataloadwarranty directory.
2. Create a warranty.xml file in the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataloadwarranty directory.
3. Copy the following content into your warranty.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customInfo>
<customProductInfo partNumber="MW-0003" Type="ProductBean">
<warranty warrantyTerm="30" warrantyType="LIMITED"/>

</customProductInfo>
</customInfo>
The customProductInfo element maps to a catalog entry noun, while the description element maps to a catalog entry description noun part.
The data load utility supports creating, replacing, or deleting data objects in the database table. To replace data objects in the database, ensure that you
supply all attributes. In the preceding example, all catalog entry information is provided.
4. Save and close the file.

Creating a custom data reader
In this lesson, you create a custom data reader to read your XML input file and then transform the input data into business objects.
The Data Load utility already provides you with a CSV data reader, which is implemented by the CSVReader class. It is necessary to create custom data readers
in order to support data source of types other than CSV files. This tutorial shows you how to create a custom data reader to support the XML file that you
created (warranty.xml). A DOM parser is used to parse the XML file to a DOM tree, and then build a commerce business object.
To create a custom data reader, you need to implement the DataReader interface. The AbstractDataReader class implements most methods in the DataReader
interface. The custom data reader class can extend this class and provide the additional implementation for the next(), getSourcePosition(), and init() methods.
The following Java classes are provided:
WarrantyReader.java: This class implements the default behavior of the DataReader interface. It reads the XML input file, and then creates the business
object.
WarrantyConstants.java: This class defines the constants that are used in parsing the XML file.
Procedure
1. Extract the DataLoadSample.zip file to a temporary directory on your machine.
3. In the Enterprise explorer view, right-click the WebSphereCommerceServerExtensionsLogic folder and click New > Package.
4. In the Name field, enter com.mycompany.commerce.dataload.reader and click Finish.
5. Right-click the com.mycompany.commerce.dataload.reader package, and click Import > General > File system.
6. Click Next; then click Browse and navigate to the Dataload_Temp directory, where Dataload_Temp is the location where you extracted the sample Java
files. Select the WarrantyReader.java file and WarrantyConstants.java file. Click Finish to import the files.
7. Open the WarrantyReader.java file and examine its content.
The following methods are implemented:
init(): This method initializes the data reader. It gets the input XML file location from the configuration file, and then reads the XML file into the DOM
tree object.
next(): This method parses the XML DOM tree object, builds the next logical object, and encapsulates it within a DataLoadBusinessObject. It then
returns the DataLoadBusinessObject.
The returned data is passed to the business object builder to generate business objects. Each business object is passed to the corresponding
business object mediator to process the data.
In this tutorial, a business object builder is not needed because the data reader is creating the business objects, which are encapsulated in the
DataLoadBusinessObject.
For example, the following code snippets generate SDO for the attribute part number:
// Get partNumber
attrvalue = ((Element) node)
.getAttribute(WarrantyConstants.PART_NUMBER);
if (attrvalue != null) {
attrvalue = attrvalue.trim();
}
if (LOGGER.isLoggable(Level.FINER)) {
LOGGER.logp(Level.FINER, CLASSNAME, METHODNAME,
WarrantyConstants.PART_NUMBER + ":" + attrvalue);
}
CatalogEntryType catentry = CatalogFactory.eINSTANCE
.createCatalogEntryType();
CatalogEntryIdentifierType identifier = CommerceFoundationFactory.eINSTANCE
.createCatalogEntryIdentifierType();
PartNumberIdentifierType partNumber = CommerceFoundationFactory.eINSTANCE
.createPartNumberIdentifierType();

Configuring the Data Load utility
In this step of the tutorial, you configure the environment settings, load order, and the business object configuration file.
Procedure
1. Create your data load environment configuration file. In the environment configuration file, specify the business context information, database connection
property, ID Resolver, and data writer class. For more information about creating this file, see Configuring the data load environment settings. The
environment variables that are used by the Data Load utility must be configured in this XML file.
a. Copy the sample wc-dataload-env.xml environment configuration file into the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadwarranty directory. The sample
environment configuration file is located within the DataLoadSample.zip compressed file.
b. Open the wc-dataload-env.xml file for editing.
Change the storeIdentifier, and catalogIdentifier attribute values for the <_config:BusinessContext> configuration element to match your store
settings. For example,
<_config:BusinessContext storeIdentifier="Aurora" catalogIdentifier="Aurora" />
Change the name, and type attribute values for the <_config:Database> configuration element to match your database settings. For example,
<_config:Database name="..dbmall" type="derby" />
Change the classname attribute value for the <_config:DataWriter> configuration element to specify the data writer class. By default the Data
Load utility uses the com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.datawriter.JDBCDataWriter data writer class. For example,
<_config:DataWriter className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.datawriter.JDBCDataWriter" />
c. Save and close the file.
2. Create your business object configuration file. In the business object configuration file, you specify your data reader, business object builder, and business
object mediator. For more information, see Configuring the business object configuration file.
a. Copy the sample wc-warrantyobject-loader.xml business object configuration file into the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadwarranty directory. The
sample configuration file is located within the DataLoadSample.zip compressed file.
b. Open the wc-warrantyobject-loader.xml for editing.
Change the classname attribute value for the <_config:DataReader> element to specify the data reader class that you implemented. For example,
<_config:DataReader className="com.mycompany.commerce.dataload.reader.WarrantyReader" />
Change the classname attribute value for the <_config:BusinessObjectBuilder> element to specify the business object builder class that you
implemented. For example,
<_config:BusinessObjectBuilder className="" >
Change the className and componentId attribute values for the <_config:BusinessObjectMediator> element to specify the business object
mediator. In this tutorial, the warranty and care instruction data are extension of the catalog entry business object. Specify the
CatalogEntryMediator class and componentId. For example,
<_config:BusinessObjectMediator className="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.dataload.mediator.CatalogEntryMediator" componentId="com.ibm.commerce.catalog"/>
3. Configure the data load order configuration file. In the load order configuration file, you specify a pointer to your XML input file, environment settings file,
and business object configuration file. You also specify which data load mode that the utility is to run. For more information, see Configuring the data load
order.
a. Copy the sample wc-dataload-warranty.xml load order configuration file into the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadwarranty directory. The sample
configuration file is located within the DataLoadSample.zip compressed file.
b. Open the wc-dataload-warranty.xml file for editing
Change the configFile attribute value for the <_config:DataLoadEnvironment> element to specify the environment configuration file. For example,
<_config:DataLoadEnvironment configFile="wc-dataload-env.xml" />
Within the <_config:LoadOrder > element, configure the <_config:LoadItem> and <_config:DataSourceLocation elements. Change the commitCount,
batchSize, dataLoadMode, name, and businessObjectConfigFile attribute values. For example,
<_config:LoadItem commitCount="1" batchSize="1" dataLoadMode="Replace" name="Warranty" businessObjectConfigFile="wc-warrantyobject-loader.xml">
</_config:LoadItem>
Within the <_config:DataSourceLocation element, change the location attribute value to specify the input file. For example, <_config:LoadOrder >
<_config:LoadOrder >
<_config:LoadItem commitCount="1" batchSize="1" dataLoadMode="Replace" name="Warranty" businessObjectConfigFile="wc-warrantyobject-loader.xml">
<_config:DataSourceLocation location="warranty.xml"/>
</_config:LoadItem>
In the workspace_dirWCxmlconfigdataloadlogging.properties, you can specify the trace level, and enable console and file logging. The following settings are
used by default:
Logging level is set to both console and file.
Trace level is set to INFO.
Log file location is set to WCDE_installdirlogswc-dataload.log.
You do not need to modify the log file location. However, you might want to change the trace level when you are debugging a data load problem. The Data Load

utility provides some command line options to change the trace level. For more information, see Data Load utility.
If any errors occur, an error log file is generated per load item. The error file name and location is specified in the summary report on the console. The error log
file is generated in the same directory as the wc-dataload.log file.

Tutorial: Loading data into custom tables with the Data Load utility
This tutorial demonstrates how to use a table-based business object builder and mediator to load data into extended or custom database tables.
By default the Data Load utility supports a table object builder and table object mediator class for loading data directly into a database table. This table-based
builder and mediator can be used to load data when there is no component-based business object mediator available that supports the loaded objects. This
table-based builder and mediator can also be used to load custom data into custom database tables when physical SDOs are not defined for the data that is
being loaded. The table-based builder and mediator is used by the Data Load utility to map and then load the data to the appropriate database tables. To use
the table object builder and table object mediator, you do not have to map the data to a logical noun, create a custom business object mediator or builder, or
extend an existing mediator or builder. The table object builder and mediator are specified and configured within the data load business object configuration file.
For more information about the table object builder and mediator, see Data load table-based mediator and builder.
The following diagram shows the data load process flow.
1. The data reader reads the input file, and transforms the input into a data object. Data objects are typically map objects. In this tutorial, the default CSV
data reader is used to read a provided sample CSV input file.
2. The business object builder instantiates the business object and populates it from the data in the data object. The table object builder is used in this
tutorial as the business object builder for instantiating and populating the business objects.
3. The business object mediator converts the business object into physical object. The table object mediator is always used with the table object builder.
This table-based mediator is used as the business object mediator in this tutorial to convert the business objects.
4. The data writer writes the physical object into the database. This tutorial uses the default data writer to write the generated physical objects into the
database.

Configuring the environment settings
In this lesson, you configure the Data Load utility environment settings.
In the data load environment configuration file, you specify your business context information, database connection property, ID Resolver, and data writer class.
The environment variables that are used by the Data Load utility are configured in this XML file. For more information, see Configuring the data load environment
settings.
Procedure
1. Go to the directory, WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoad.
2. Create a folder Warranty.
3. Copy the sample wc-dataload-env.xml file from the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadCatalog directory into the Warranty directory.
4. Open the new wc-dataload-env.xml copy for editing. Change the values in this file to match your system values.
5. Find the <_config:BusinessContext> element. Change the value for the attributes of this element to match the values for your store. For example,
<_config:BusinessContext storeIdentifier="Aurora" catalogIdentifier="AuroraCatalog" />
Where Aurora is your store identifier, and AuroraCatalog is the identifier for you store catalog.
6. Find the <_config:Database> element. Change the value for the type, name, and schema attributes of this element to match the values for your database
environment. For example,
<_config:Database type="derby" name="..dbmydb" schema="mydbschema"/>
7. Find the <_config:DataWriter> element. This element identifies the data writer class that is used during the data load process. Ensure that the default data
writer is specified.
8. Save your changes. Your file can resemble the following code:
<_config:DataLoadEnvConfiguration
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/commerce/foundation/config ../../../xml/config/xsd/wc-dataload-env.xsd"
<_config:BusinessContext storeIdentifier="Aurora" catalogIdentifier="AuroraCatalog" languageId="-1" currency="USD">
</_config:BusinessContext>
<_config:Database type="derby" name="..dbmydb" schema="mydbschema"/>
<_config:IDResolver className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.idresolve.IDResolverImpl" cacheSize="10000000"/>
</_config:DataLoadEnvConfiguration>
< Previous | Next >

Configuring the business object configuration file
In this lesson, you configure the data load business object configuration file.
In the business object configuration file, you specify your data reader, business object builder, and business object mediator. For more information, see
Configuring the business object configuration file.
This configuration file contains the information that is required by the Data Load utility to resolve the column and table identifiers for the input data. This file is
used by the Data Load utility to populate a business object with the input data and any default or specified fixed values. To load the data included in the sample
WarrantyTableLoad.csv input file, this configuration file identifies two builders and two mediators for the Data Load utility to use. To load the input data, the
configuration file specifies that the utility is to use the default base business object builder and a component-based business object mediator to load data into
the CATENTRY table. This configuration file utility species that the utility is to use the table-based business object builder and mediator to load data into the
XWARRANTY AND XCAREINSTRUCTION tables. You can also use the table-based builder and mediator to load data into the CATENTRY table, but you are
recommended to use the component-based mediator.
Procedure
1. Copy a sample business object configuration file from the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadCatalog directory into the
WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadwarranty directory. For example, wc-loader-catalog-entry.xml. Rename the file. For example, wc-warrantytableobject-
loader.xml.
2. Open the new business object configuration file for editing.
3. Find the <_config:BusinessObjectBuilder> element. If you are creating a business object configuration instead of editing an existing file, create this
<_config:BusinessObjectBuilder> element within the element.
4. Set the attributes for the business object builder element.
a. Set the className attribute value to be the com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.businessobjectbuilder.BaseBusinessObjectBuilder object builder class.
b. Set the value for the packageName attribute to be com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.datatypes.CatalogPackage.
c. Set the value for the dataObjectType attribute to be CatalogEntryType.
For example, the following snippet specifies the component-based object builder class for catalog entries.
<_config:BusinessObjectBuilder className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.businessobjectbuilder.BaseBusinessObjectBuilder"
packageName="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.datatypes.CatalogPackage" dataObjectType="CatalogEntryType" >
5. Configure the data mappings for the catalog entry business object. For example, the following code snippet includes data mappings for catalog entry
objects.
<_config:DataMapping>
<_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryIdentifier/ExternalIdentifier/PartNumber" value="PartNumber" />
<_config:mapping xpath="catalogEntryTypeCode" value="Type" />
<_config:mapping xpath="ParentCatalogEntryIdentifier/ExternalIdentifier/PartNumber" value="ParentPartNumber" />
<_config:mapping xpath="displaySequence" value="Sequence" />
<_config:mapping xpath="Description[0]/Name" value="Name" />
<_config:mapping xpath="Description[0]/ShortDescription" value="ShortDescription" />
</_config:DataMapping>
6. Specify the business object mediator className to be the CatalogEntryMediator class. This class is the mediator for loading catalog entry data. Set the
value for the componentId attribute for the mediator to be com.ibm.commerce.catalog. For example, the following snippet specifies the component-based
mediator and component identifier.
...
<_config:BusinessObjectMediator className="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.dataload.mediator.CatalogEntryMediator"
componentId="com.ibm.commerce.catalog" >
7. Create a second <_config:BusinessObjectBuilder> element. Set the className attribute value to be the TableObjectBuilder table object builder class.
For example, the following snippet specifies the table object builder class
<_config:BusinessObjectBuilder className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.businessobjectbuilder.TableObjectBuilder" >
8. Add elements to include the configurations for the XWARRANTY, and XCAREINSTRUCTION tables that the data is to be loaded into. Remove any other
existing table and column configurations within this <_config:BusinessObjectBuilder> element. Specify each of the tables that the Data Load utility is to load
data into within a separate <_config:Table> element. You do not need to include the CATENTRY table. The data for this table is loaded by using the
component-based builder and mediator that you previously configured. For example, the following code snippet includes separate table configuration
elements for the XWARRANTY and XCAREINSTRUCTION tables.
<_config:Table name="XWARRANTY">
</_config:Table>
<_config:Table name="XCAREINSTRUCTION">
</_config:Table>
9. Configure the columns for each of the tables that are to be loaded with the table-based builder and mediator. Specify the configuration for each column
separately within the appropriate <_config:Table>. Use the <_config:Column> element to configure a column. Specify the attributes for each column
configuration. The following snippet specifies the column configuration for loading data in the two extension tables:

<_config:Column name="CATENTRY_ID" value="catentry_Id" valueFrom="IDResolve"
<_config:IDResolve tableName="CATENTRY" generateNewKey="false" >
<_config:UniqueIndexColumn name="PARTNUMBER" value="PartNumber" />
<_config:UniqueIndexColumn name="MEMBER_ID" value="storeOwnerId" valueFrom="BusinessContext" />
</_config:Column>
<_config:Column name="WARTERM" value="WarrantyTerm" />
<_config:Column name="WARTYPE" value="WarrentyType" />
</_config:Table>
<_config:Column name="CATENTRY_ID" value="catentry_Id" valueFrom="IDResolve" />
<_config:Column name="LANGUAGE_ID" value="langId" valueFrom="BusinessContext" />
<_config:Column name="CAREINSTRUCTION" value="CareInstruction" />
</_config:Table>
10. Specify the business object mediator to be the TableObjectMediator class. If you are using the TableObjectBuilder class as the builder, always use this
table object mediator as the business object mediator. This class is the mediator that the Data Load utility uses for all table-based data load. The
following snippet specifies the table object mediator:
...
<_config:BusinessObjectMediator className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.businessobjectmediator.TableObjectMediator" >
11. Save your file. Your file can resemble the following code:
<_config:DataloadBusinessObjectConfiguration
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/commerce/foundation/config ../../../../xml/config/xsd/wc-dataload-businessobject.xsd"
<_config:DataLoader className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.BusinessObjectLoader" >
<_config:DataReader className="com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.datareader.CSVReader" firstLineIsHeader="true" useHeaderAsColumnName="true" >
<_config:property name="keyColumns" value="PartNumber" />
<_config:DataMapping>
<_config:mapping xpath="CatalogEntryIdentifier/ExternalIdentifier/PartNumber" value="PartNumber" />
<_config:mapping xpath="catalogEntryTypeCode" value="Type" />
<_config:mapping xpath="ParentCatalogEntryIdentifier/ExternalIdentifier/PartNumber" value="ParentPartNumber" />
<_config:mapping xpath="displaySequence" value="Sequence" />
<_config:mapping xpath="Description[0]/Name" value="Name" />
<_config:mapping xpath="Description[0]/ShortDescription" value="ShortDescription" />
</_config:DataMapping>
<_config:BusinessObjectMediator className="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.dataload.mediator.CatalogEntryMediator"
componentId="com.ibm.commerce.catalog" >
<_config:Column name="CATENTRY_ID" value="catentry_Id" valueFrom="IDResolve"
<_config:IDResolve tableName="CATENTRY" generateNewKey="false" >
<_config:UniqueIndexColumn name="PARTNUMBER" value="PartNumber" />
<_config:UniqueIndexColumn name="MEMBER_ID" value="storeOwnerId" valueFrom="BusinessContext" />
</_config:Column>
<_config:Column name="WARTERM" value="WarrantyTerm" />
<_config:Column name="WARTYPE" value="WarrentyType" />
</_config:Table>
<_config:Column name="CATENTRY_ID" value="catentry_Id" valueFrom="IDResolve" />

Configuring the load order configuration file
In this lesson, you configure the Data Load utility load order configuration file.
In the load order configuration file, you specify a pointer to your XML input file, environment settings file, and business configuration file. The load order
configuration file defines the mode in which the Data Load utility uses to load data. You also specify the order in which Data Load utility loads the data. For more
information, see Configuring the data load order.
Procedure
1. Copy the sample wc-dataload.xml file from the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadCatalog directory into the WCDE_installdirsamplesDataLoadWarranty
directory. Rename the file wc-tableobjectdataload.xml.
2. Open the new wc-tableobjectdataload.xmldata load order configuration file for editing.
3. Find the <_config:DataLoadEnvironment> element. Change the value for the configFile attribute to be your data load environment configuration file. For
example,
4. Find the <_config:LoadOrder > element. Change the value for the businessObjectConfigFile attribute to be your business object configuration file. Change the
value for the location element of the <_config:DataSourceLocation> configuration property to be the path for your input file. For example,
<_config:LoadItem commitCount="1" batchSize="1" dataLoadMode="Replace" name="Warranty" businessObjectConfigFile="wc-warrantytableobject-loader.xml">
<_config:DataSourceLocation location="WarrantyTableLoad.csv"/>
</_config:LoadItem>
5. Save your changes. Your file can resemble the following code:
<_config:DataLoadConfiguration
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/commerce/foundation/config ../../../../xml/config/xsd/wc-dataload.xsd"
<_config:LoadItem commitCount="1" batchSize="1" dataLoadMode="Replace" name="Warranty" businessObjectConfigFile="wc-warrantytableobject-loader.xml">
<_config:DataSourceLocation location="WarrantyTableLoad.csv"/>
</_config:LoadItem>
</_config:DataLoadConfiguration>

Run the Data Load utility
In this lesson, you verify the configuration by running the Data Load utility to load data into the custom tables.
Procedure
1. Optional: Specify the trace level, and enable console and file logging.
a. Navigate to the workspace_dirWCxmlconfigdataload directory
b. Open the logging.properties file for editing.
c. Change the logging settings for running the Data Load utility. The following settings are used by default:
Logging level is set to both console and file.
Trace level is set to INFO.
Log file location is set to WCDE_installdirlogswc-dataload.log.
You do not need to modify the log file location. However, you might want to change the trace level when you are debugging a data load problem.
The Data Load utility provides some command-line options to change the trace level. For more information, see the Data Load utility.
An error log file is generated per load item when there are any errors. The error file name and location is specified in the summary report on the
console. The error log file is in the same directory as the wc-dataload.log file.
4. Open a command-line interface and navigate to the appropriate directory:
WC_installdir/bin
WCDE_installdirbin
5. Enter the command to run the Data Load utility to load your data load configuration file:
./dataload.sh ../samples/DataLoad/Warranty/wc-tableobjectdataload.xml
dataload ..samplesDataLoadWarrantywc-tableobjectdataload.xml
Where wc-tableobjectdataload.xml is the name of your data load configuration file.
6. Verify the results of the data load. You can verify your results by reviewing the summary and by checking that the data exists in the appropriate database
tables. To check the database tables for the sample custom tables, run the following SQL statements.
If you see the warranty and care information that is included in the csv file that you loaded, your data load is successful.
