The global configuration for the Amazon Connector is used to create a connection to a seller’s Amazon marketplace in a specific country. This enables data to be either read from or written to your marketplace store in that country.
You open this interface from the resources tree — expand System > Tools > Data Connectors and double-click Amazon Connector in the items list.
The dialog box displays the Connections list of the global configuration and is where the Amazon Connector connections are created and managed. If you have multiple marketplace stores, or stores in multiple countries, then connections must be created for each store.
Before you can use the Connector in a task step, you must create the connection to Amazon.
If required, enable Use Extended Logging to expose the XML parsed between the Connector and Amazon.
Without extended logging, the Event Log only contains start and end of transaction messages, plus any error messages encountered at runtime.
You can view the extended log in the BPA Platform Event Log (Tasks toolbar > Event Log ).
Click Add to create a connection to Amazon.
Existing connections can be updated by selecting the required connection in the Connections list and clicking Edit.
To remove a connection for the Connections list, with the required connection selected in the Connections list, click Remove.
The Amazon Connector supports saving partially configured connections. This enables users to return to a previously incomplete connection to finalise details, or for previously configured connections to have certain details removed, for example, to log out from the current authenticated user account. Such connections are shown in the Global Configuration as Configuration Incomplete.
