How to roll back impex import in Hybris

Question

When any impex line fails, is it possible to roll back all the previously imported lines from the same impex file, and stop further execution ?

Answer 1

You can use hybris Transaction if you import Impex using the ImpexService

Transaction tx = Transaction.current();
tx.begin(); 
boolean success = false;
try
{
   // Import your impex here and catch exceptions that can occur
   doSomeBusinessLogic();
   success = true;
}
finally
{
   if( success )
      tx.commit();
   else
      tx.rollback();
}

You can find the hybris documentation here : https://help.hybris.com/1808/hcd/8c7387f186691014922080f2e053216a.html

Answer 2

Impex import not supported transaction, so rollback not possible. You need make custom development for rollback future with flex. On the other hand, updating/inserting items in transaction not feasible, because of thousand online user may be waiting on web site or service.

I suggest to develop inform mechanism for failed lines to support team.

If items can be synchronized, may be you can create temporary catalog for them and sync after success import.
