Test a pipeline batch

Version:

You can run a pipeline batch in a number of ways. The easiest way is to run it manually.

To test a pipeline batch:

  1. In the Content Editor, navigate to /sitecore/System/Data Exchange/File System Provder Test Tenant/Pipeline Batches/City Info from File to City Info Item Sync Pipeline Batch.

  3. Click OK.

    Note

    In this example, the text file only contains a few rows. In addition, the logic in the pipelines is very limited. This means the pipeline batch will finish almost instantly.

    You can tell if the pipeline batch is running by checking if the Stop Pipeline Batch button is enabled. This button does not automatically refresh, so you might have to click the pipeline batch to refresh the UI.

  4. In the content tree, navigate to /sitecore/content/Cities.

    Content in content tree

    You can see an item for each of the rows in the text files.

  5. Click the item you want to review, for example, the Copenhagen item. You can see the values from the row in the text file that corresponds to the item.
