Hi All,
We have setup an Amazon webstore and we anticipate uploading 10,000+
products, and therefore to avoid unnecessary manual labor we wish to
automate as much of the process of adding and managing products as
possible. The automation process that we have in mind will require some manner of cross scripting.
We currently have a database of our products and we are able to upload
products to Amazon with no problems. Our database of products is residing on our server, and we wish to also access the Amazon control panel from our server through our scripting, and then assign the already uploaded products to the Amazon Categories via the Amazon Control
Panel. These
Categories are different from what Amazon is using. These will only be
used
in our WebStore. Once
the products have properly been assigned to the categories, then the last
step is for the script to
publish the site.
To assign Products to Categories, there's a template that we should follow
that is downloadable. See attachment (ProductCategor yMappings.xls). Also,
for your reference, attached is the same template with sample data
(ProductCategor yMappings_with_ Data.xls).
The Product's data is in our database except for Amazon's unique ID which
they call ASIN. We are already retrieving the product's ASIN after 2-3
hours
after uploading the product. This is being retrieved via Amazon's
Associate
Web Service (AWS). This will be retrieved by a script on a timely manner
via
cron job which will also create the Excel file dynamically (based on the
attached template) and populate it with the appropriate data.
Here is the problem:
- the dynamically created Excel file is not being accepted by Amazon even
if
the file can be opened/viewed by OpenOffice.org Calc and Microsoft Office
Excel. We already tried several ways to create the Excel file but to no
avail.
For Amazon to accept it, we opened the dynamically created Excel file in
Microsoft Office Excel and saved it (Open the file then click Save. Just
that). Then, we tried to upload it and it worked... May be Microsoft
Office
Excel is adding something (which we can't figure out). By the way, we have
Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
When that is solved, we should also be able to do the following
AUTOMATICALLY:
1. select a WebStore
2. after selecting a WebStore, submit the dynamically created Excel file
to
[Hide Quoted Text]
the form located in: WebStore Design > Category Management > Step 2 Assign
Products to Categories > Excel Upload
3. And, lastly, publish the selected WebStore
Thanks and Regards

How are you creating the Excel file.
What type of file is it? XLS or CSV.
Excel can open and display many file types
The underlying construction of XLS is basicaaly a web page while CSV is a text file.
I don't know what Amazon expect but does it look OK in say Notepad or is there gibberish there?

Hello,
I'm getting an "Access Denied" error when I hit the line of code...
Excel.Application oXL = new Excel.Application();
From what I've read, you can get around this by putting the file (where this
code is) in a separate directory and also putting its own web.config in this
separate directory with this line in it...
<identity impersonate="true"/>

I hope this is the right area to post this, and I appoligize if it isn't
in advance.
I've spent the last few days trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong
in this code. What I'm doing is that I'm opening an excel file,
changing the header and then trying to save and close the file. Instead
when I run it, the web page hangs.

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to save localization in an excel workbook (C#
1.1)? I'm not sure this is possible, but I'm trying to do this so that
numberColumns keep their format no matter what local is set in the
computer where the file is opened.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
I have always downloaded table data to excel using a perl_cgi. The perl
cgi will simpley print("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
followed by the usual html table formatted data.
However if I try the same with javascript it does not seem to work.
ie document.write("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
document.write("<html><table><thead>bla bla...</html>);

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
