I am interested to know how to import products, customers, Prices etc. without manually do importing i.e. automatically in Magento?

From the forum I get some idea as we can run CRON job scheduling technique for the same? So how exactly it works?

Or is there any Magento extension available for the same? Can I import products from external system say Oracle ERP in Magento using cron jobs?

My requirement is that, I have access to both Oracle & Mysql Database through PHP & now we need to take product prices, customer info. etc. from Oracle to Magento that to automatically(Right now thinking of Cron Job technique)...So how can I import product prices from Oracle database into Magento database AUTOMATICALLY... plz give me some suggestion. Anyone tried this before...

waiting for Responses..

Can we use Magmi for Magento EE 1.10.0.1 edition as during configuring Magmi, it's asking for Magento version which only provide CE versions...?

Answer 1

There are a couple of Magento extensions that will help you here. One of which is Magmi, however I haven't had any experience with this.

I use the AMartinez_CustomImportExport extension for this purpose. The extension has a script that you can execute from the command line, so you can therefore add it to your system crontab like below (replacing MAGENTO_ROOT with the absolute path to where you have Magento installed).

0 0 * * * php MAGENTO_ROOT/amartinez_customimportexport.php -- -all -import var/customimportexport/test_single_row_style.csv

This would execute an import at 00:00 everyday, refreshing all caches and reindexing.

See the forum thread for this extension for more information.
