Data Sources

Every data importer configuration needs a data source. Following data sources are available and can be configured.

Asset

Loads data from an asset stored within the Pimcore instance.

Configuration Options:

• Path to asset

SFTP

Loads data from a (remote) sftp location.

Configuration Options:

• Host
• Port
• Username
• Password
• Remote Path: Absolute path on remote location.

HTTP

Loads data from a (remote) http location.

Configuration Options:

• Schema: one of http:// or https:// which is prepened to the URL.
• Url: Url to file without schema definition (which is added based on schema configuration due to security reasons).

This implementation uses php wrappers internally, so encoding username and password is supported as follows: user:password@example.com.

Push

The push data source does not download the data from a remote location, it provides a http endpoint where data can be pushed to via a POST request.

The data needs to be in the configured file format and provided as raw content of the POST request. The push data source internally uses php://input to read the content.

The URL for the endpoint is: http(s)://<YOUR_DOMAIN>>/pimcore-datahub-import/<IMPORT_CONFIGURATION_NAME>/push

Configuration Options:

• API Key: API Key that needs to be set as authorization header for every push request.
• Ignore not empty queue: By default, imports are only started when import queue is empty (see also Import Execution Details). Thus pushing data to the endpoint when import queue is not empty would result in an error. Activating this flag will ignore existing items in the queue and always adds items to the queue when data is pushed to the endpoint.

SQL

Loads data from a defined doctrine connection.

The SQL Data Loader uses DBAL to allow data to be loaded from a SQL source. Connections to any database supported by DBAL will work provided they are configured correctly inside of database.yaml. (Database configuration can be placed in any valid Symfony config file, provided its in the correct format as can be seen in database.yaml).

Example connection:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        connections:
            new_connection:
                host: db
                port: '3306'
                user: sample_user
                password: sample_password
                dbname: sample_dbname
                driver: any_supported_by_doctrine

For different drivers some additional configuration could be needed.

Configuration Options:

• Connection: Connection from which data will be loaded
• SELECT: Valid SQL SELECT
• FROM: Valid SQL FROM
• WHERE: Valid SQL WHERE
• GROUP BY: Valid SQL GROUP BY

Ensure to select SQL under File Format!
