When you export a virtual catalog the virtual catalog is exported as a base
catalog and not a virtual catalog (i.e The xml representation contains the
materialized representatio of the virtual catalog in base catalog format).
One thing you can do to replicate virtual catalog rules is use the
CatalogManager objects. The algorith can be something like
Dim oCatalogManagerSource
Dim oCatalogManagerDest
Set oCatalogManagerSource = CreateObject("Commerce.Catalgomanager")
Set oCatalogManagerDest = CreateObject("Commerce.Catalgomanager")
oCatalogManagerSource.Initialize "sourceSiteName" , false
oCatalogManagerDest.Initialize "destSiteName" , false
Set oSourceVirtualCatalog =
oCatalogManagerSource.GetCatalog("virtualcatalog")
Set oDestVirtualCatalog = oCatalogManagerDest.GetCatalog("virtualcatalog")
if oCatalogManagerDest is Nothing
Set oDestVirtualCatalog = oCatalogManagerDest.CreateCatalog() '
Create the virtual catalog on the destination
Set the properties on oDestVirtualCatalog based on the
oSourceVirtualCatalog properties
End if
Similarly get the Rules for the source and destination virtual catalogs. If
a rule exists in the source but not destination add it.
Get the Price rules for the source and destination virtual catalogs. If a
rule exists in the source but not destination add it.

Hi everyone,
We have been having trouble with the following operation: We have a
Virtual Catalog which we are trying to copy from a dev machine to
production in an XML file (using import/export). When we attempt to
import the file we created on dev in production, we get the following
error message:
Commerce Server: The ProductID or VariantID property for the Catalog
'MYCATALOG' does not match the current ProductID or VariantID
property.When importing a catalog in the update mode the ProductID or
VariantID property should match the existing ProductID or VariantID
properties
We also have a separate staging environment where this error occurs.
The odd thing is, if I export an XML file from one database and then
import it back into the same database, this error still occurs.
We've been performing Import/Export operations for several months now,
but we have never attempted import and export on a virtual catalog.
What I'm actually hoping for is that someone can give me a good idea
of where to start looking for the fix. Does this sound like there's
product out there which has bad data? Is something wrong with the
virtual catalog itself? Can virtual catalogs be imported/exported?
Is the XML not being generated properly?
Any ideas on what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated!
Chris
