Connector for SAP Commerce usage Content Manager

When you deploy the Tridion Connector for SAP Commerce with Tridion Sites, Content Manager users can access product data that is stored in SAP Commerce Cloud and use it in their websites.

When the Tridion Connector for SAP Commerce is implemented with Tridion Sites, the Content Manager includes it as a mount point in a Publication's tree structure at the same level as Tridion Sites native content.

The following screen capture illustrates the SAP Commerce mount point in Content Manager Explorer:

Through the Content Manager user interface, editors and other end users do the following actions with external data from SAP Commerce:
  • List categories and products
  • Search for products
  • Select products to be used on Pages, in Component links, and so on
  • View product information, such as the product's description, price or stock value

When a user views a product's properties from Content Manager Explorer, the General and External Metadata tabs display product information. The following screen capture illustrates an example of these properties as they would appear in Content Manager Explorer:

When these Components and Pages get published, the Connector retrieves and downloads the product references from SAP Commerce Cloud and includes them in the publish package that gets sent to the target website. Tridion Content Delivery can subsequently use these product references to get real-time product information (through the Content Service).
