Add a pipeline step to resolve the target item
How to create a pipeline step in Sitecore Data Exchange Framework to resolve the target item.
The first pipeline step must check if there is an existing Sitecore item that matches the value from the text file row.
If the pipeline finds a matching item, it must set that item as the target object in the pipeline context. This means that during the mapping process, the pipeline updates the matching item with the new values.
If the pipeline does not find a matching item, it must create a new item, and set the new item as the target object in the pipeline context.
To set up these actions in the pipeline:
Navigate to the pipeline item
City Info from File to City Info Item Sync Pipeline.
Add a new Resolve Sitecore Item Pipeline Step item and name it Resolve City Info Item.
Select the new item.
Set the following field values:
