Additional attributes for TREX

[Former Member]

hi,

we want to add additional attributes during the catalog replication. We are running CRM 5.0 and TREX 7.1.

Does any restriction regarding the length of the attribute values exists? As far as I can see, we can only use strings with the length of 64 characters.

Regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

You're right, when you implement additional attributes on the TREX, the value of the attributes is broken into parts, where each part contains not more than 64 characters, which are separated by a special character( in between them.

This can be eliminated by the implementation of an SNote - 1005135 - Replication problems when pcat text exceeds 128 characters.

However, as Sateesh has rightly said, maintaining each additional attribute as an additional text type in the PCAT_ITM or PCAT_HDR text objects is a better solution in terms of data maintenance and consistency. Further, you must plan the introduction of these additional attributes, as each addition would require an initial replication of the product catalog.

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

try to use text management. This will resolve your problem for a product. This also will be shown as an attribute in Trex.

If your requirement is specific to addribute only then just check for the type of the attribute.
