Add a pipeline step 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:

1. In the Content Editor, navigate to the pipeline item you want to create a step for, for example, City Info from File to City Info Item Sync Pipeline.

   

2. In the right-hand pane, click Resolve Sitecore Item Pipeline Step. Name the new item Resolve City Info Item. Select the new item.

3. Select the new item.

   

4. In the right-hand pane, specify the following field values:

   Field	Value
   Template for New Item	Templates/User Defined/City Information
   Item Name Value Accessor	Data Access/Value Accessor Sets/Providers/File System/City Information File Fields/City from City Information File
   Endpoint From	Sitecore/Sitecore Database Endpoint
   Identifier Value Accessor	Data Access/Value Accessor Sets/Providers/File System/City Information File Fields/Identifier from City Information File
   Identifier Object Location	Pipeline Context Source
   Resolved Object Location	Pipeline Context Target
   Parent for Item	sitecore/content/Cities
   Matching Field Value Accessor	Data Access/Value Accessor Sets/Providers/Sitecore/City Information Item Fields/Identifier on City Information Item

5. Save the item.
