Loading changed assets for deployment
If you have many changed database asset files to deploy, use the WebSphere Commerce loading utilities to help with this task. The idresgen utility generates identifiers for XML elements, and the massload utility loads data into the WebSphere Commerce database.
This topic demonstrates how to change assets
for deployment with the massload utility.
The massload utility
is deprecated for WebSphere Commerce Version 7 Feature Pack 6. The
Data Load utility is the recommended command-line loading utility.
If you are currently using the mass load utility, you are recommended
to switch to the Data Load utility to load your CSV and XML input
files into your target database. If your system contains scheduled
and automated processes that use massload, it is recommended that
you update these processes to use the Data Load utility. Other WebSphere
Commerce utilities that use the massload utility, such as the acpload
utility, continue to use the massload utility in WebSphere Commerce
Version 7 Feature Pack 6. If you have business reasons to continue
using the massload utility, you can continue to use this utility.
