SaaS Data Export Guide
SaaS data export synchronizes data between an Adobe Commerce instance and connected Commerce Services. When you add Live Search, Product Recommendations, the Catalog Service, or the Adobe Commerce Optimizer Connector to an Adobe Commerce installation, the Data Export extension is installed automatically.
SaaS data export collects and exports various types of data, referred to as feeds, which aggregate specific types of information. Depending on which Commerce services are installed, the SaaS data export feeds include:
- Catalog entity feeds aggregate product data. Data includes products, product attributes, product prices, product variations, categories, category permissions, and product permissions.
- The Scopes feed aggregates data for customer groups, websites, stores, and store views.
- The Sales Order feed aggregates orders data including their related entities such as invoices, shipments, credit memos, and so on.
- The Multi-Source Inventory feed aggregates data about inventory stock status items.
SaaS data export is delivered as a PHP extension that supports both automated and manual synchronization:
-
Automated synchronization—After the initial full sync when you connect a Commerce service, cron jobs keep connected services current using partial sync and automatic retry of failed items, with no action required from the Admin user or system integrator.
-
Manual synchronization—Run a full resync or resync selected feeds from the Commerce Admin or the Commerce CLI.
-
Monitoring—Track feed health, status, and delivery from the Data Feed Sync Status page and Data Management dashboard in the Commerce Admin. See Manage synchronization for verification and resync steps.
For synchronization behavior, modes, and the export flow diagram, see How synchronization works.
SaaS data export also provides tools to plan and troubleshoot the synchronization process:
-
Scheduling and performance—Estimate sync time to schedule processing and avoid site disruption, and customize export processing to improve performance. See Estimate data volume and transmission time and Improve data export performance.
-
Tracking and troubleshooting—Review sync status and feed payloads using data-export and saas-export logs. See Review logs and troubleshoot.
