Magento Bulk API question regarding products and product links

Magento Bulk API question regarding products and product links

Hi,

 

Thanks for reading this. I am facing a bit of a challenge here when creating products in bulk.

 

My client has a Magento setup that is only using simple products and I am trying to create 3 simple products via bulk calls 

Product A, B and C. 

  • Product A has B and C as sizevariants.
  • Product B has A and C as sizevariants.
  • Product C has A and B as sizevariants. 

Creating the products is no problem, however, creating the links is an issue. I can't link B and C to A when B and C don't exist. So, i can't do that in the same request. 

I can bulk create productlinks however, they seem to live in a different rabbitmq topic and so there might be a timing issue. 

 

Can somebody point me to documentation that handles these timing / ordering issues when using bulk? Am i right that the bulk productlinks creation are being handled seperately and so i cannot guarantee succesfull processing?

 

thanks in advance,

Frank
