Overview

This node operation allows users to create a new catalog in the Fredhopper Product Discovery system. It is useful for scenarios where a user needs to programmatically add a catalog with specific data, tenant, and environment settings. For example, an e-commerce platform could use this to automate the creation of product catalogs for different markets or environments.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a new product catalog for a specific tenant and environment with JSON catalog data.
2. Automating catalog creation as part of a deployment or data update pipeline.

Properties

Output

JSON

• success - Indicates if the catalog creation was successful.
• message - A message confirming the catalog creation and its version.
• catalogVersion - The version identifier of the newly created catalog.
• tenant - The tenant under which the catalog was created.
• environment - The environment where the catalog was created.
• status - The status of the catalog after creation, typically 'inactive'.
• note - Additional information about the catalog status and next steps.

Dependencies

• An API key credential for authenticating with the Fredhopper Product Discovery API.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Tenant', 'Environment', and 'Catalog Data' fields are correctly filled and valid JSON is provided for the catalog data.
• Authentication errors may occur if the API credentials are incorrect or expired; verify the API key and tenant ID.
• If the catalog creation fails, check the API response message for details and ensure the API endpoint is reachable.
