Overview

This node operation creates a new catalog with a default batch in the Fredhopper Product Discovery system. It is useful for users who want to quickly set up a catalog along with an associated default batch for product data ingestion and management. For example, an e-commerce platform can use this operation to initialize a new product catalog and prepare it for batch updates automatically.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new product catalog with default batch for tenant 'TenantA' in environment 'Production' using provided catalog data JSON.
2. Automate catalog creation and batch setup as part of a product data pipeline.

Properties

Output

JSON

• success - Indicates if the catalog creation was successful.
• message - A message describing the result of the catalog creation.
• catalogVersion - The version identifier of the newly created catalog.
• tenant - The tenant under which the catalog was created.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Catalog Data' input is valid JSON; invalid JSON will cause an error.

• The catalog will be created in an inactive state; remember to activate it using the appropriate operation.
