Handling Magento Products inside of OroCRM?

Hi all,

I’ve observed that the Magento Bundle contains an entity called Oro\Bundle\MagentoBundle\Entity\Product backed up by a DB table called orocrm_magento_product. After connecting a development OroCRM instance to a development Magento 1.x instance, and a successful initial synchronization followed by successful subsequent synchronizations, I’ve observed that the orocrm_magento_product db table remained empty.

Looking through the code base I couldn’t observe too much code involving this entity Oro\Bundle\MagentoBundle\Entity\Product but I’ve seen that there is support for a datagrid, which does not show up anywhere in the navigation menu in the UI – and also I’ve noticed that his entity has API support.

I want to ask if I’m missing something, and if there are already built in possibilities in OroCRM to have this entity imported/synced with the Magento instance?
Or maybe this is something left at the responsibility of the solution providers to ensure the population of this entity records?

Thank you,
Razvan

Hi Razvan,

You may start with these video tutorials on how to setup OroCRM – Magento integration – https://oroinc.com/orocrm/blog/setup-magento-integration-orocrm

Documentation – https://oroinc.com/orocrm/doc/2.3/admin-guide/integrations/magento-channel-integration#start-synchronization-manually

And make sure you have the message consumer running behind the scene.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for you quick reply.
I’ve already followed the resources that you have pointed me to, and like I mentioned already my integration is working correctly:

• the initial synchronization has been successful
• the subsequent synchronizations have been successful too

I have both cron jobs and message consumers set-up properly.

My question was related to the Oro\Bundle\MagentoBundle\Entity\Product which does not get populated, the database table remains empty.

All the rest of the entities are working correctly: orders, customers, accounts, carts etc.

I would like to know if someone has the same behavior, or if this is how it’s supposed to be in the current version. I’m using version 3.0

Thank you,
Razvan

Sorry, my bad, I didn’t read the question through.

This product entity (and the datagrid, etc.) is just some groundwork for Magento product data synchronization, which has not been implemented.

Thanks Michael, it totally makes sense,
Cheers,
