Environment
Adobe Target
Issue
Client couldn’t find product information in the Target UI under Recommendations › Catalog Search.
Steps to reproduce:
When trying to pass the product or content information to Recommendations using the entity attributes via mbox (refer to Plan and implement Recommendations), notice that the entity attribute values are getting populated on the AEM page. However, the product information is not being reflected in the Target UI under Recommendations › Catalog Search.
Solution
There is a setting for sending the entity details through mbox which was not enabled for the client.
It is now enabled, but attributes should get into DB first, then in several hours they should be indexed and available in UI.
This setting is enabled form Recommendations Classic, which is not accessible to the users, so the setting can be changed by clientcare only.
