Hi Gantayya,

What is the type of attribute that you want to update. If it’s a list/multi-list it is little complicated from back-end but for other types it should be easy. Also is it page_two/three attribute.

Again from sdk for any type of attributes it is straight forward. Lastly i executed for 2.5 lakhs rows and it took around 17 hrs to complete. 

Can you share more details.

Hi Arif, It’s a Page Two List Attribute.

Hi Gantayya,

Preferred is writing simple standalone code as batch job and executing over the weekends when server load is minimal.

From SQL perspective i will take case of one particular part and try to outline the process:

1. List-Values are stored as integers in database so you need to know what is the code corresponding to your list-entry. Below query gives what is the corresponding entryid for your list-attribute values.

Select distinct(p2.list03),li.entryid, li.entryvalue from page_two p2, listentry li  where p2.list03=li.entryid(+)

Output
========
LIST03    ENTRYID    ENTRYVALUE
219275    219275    No
219274    219274    Yes

2. Let’s consider we have a part XXX-XXXXXX where currently it is updated as Blank or No. So in order to update a given part number with say “Yes

update page_two p2
set p2.list03=219274
where p2.id= (Select i.id from item i , page_two p2,listentry li where i.id=p2.id(+) and p2.list03=li.entryid and i.item_number=’XXX-XXXXXX’ and li.langid(+)=0)

3. Once you execute it, commit the operation. Logout/Login or refresh the object to see the updated value.

4. Also catch here is it doesn’t show in the history tab if the value is updated .  So generally not a good practice since it doesn’t have tracking on attribute changes.

This i have tried and tested in lower environments and it works. So based on the above 1-3 approach you can do for all the data at once if it is one particular value or if you have list of what item should be updated to which list-value.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Arif

Gantaya,

another way to update this attribute paga_two value is use the core Import functionality. There is no need to right any code, just download data from a search, update the data in a Excel Spreadsheet and import it.
It uses to be very straight forward process.

My best

Oh right. That’s the easiest and accurate way. I missed it. Only problem is, i faced issue in import when tried for more than 50K+ rows. So had to split it in multiple files and could do for 2 lakhs data in about 2.5 hrs or so.

Thanks.
