Manually configure integration jobs
6 min
Integration triggers
The following integration jobs do not execute automatically. They need to be scheduled manually.
- Rebuild Sitemap – The Rebuild Sitemap integration job ensures all pages intended to be exposed to search engines are indexed. Which is why it is a best practice to set this integration job to occur after performing a product refresh.
- Resubmit All Orders – The Resubmit All Orders integration job searches the {user["product-name"]} database for any orders that have not been submitted and pushes them to the ERP. This may be used as a back-up during ERP outages.
- Purge Saved Orders – The Purge Saved Orders integration job removes all saved orders from the database. Running this job would solve a problem where saved orders contain products that have been discontinued or removed.
- Send Shipment Confirmations – Because {user["product-name"]} does not support any automated shipping confirmation messaging, it is helpful to set up a recurring integration job to send out shipping confirmation messages on a regular basis.
- Job Status Report – The Job Status Report integration job provides a report of all integration jobs and their status. Creating a recurring integration job with this information is helpful to stay informed on all jobs.
- Deactivate Inactive User Accounts – This job deactivates user accounts that have been inactive according to the security settings..
- Cleanup Export Spreadsheets – It is recommended to set the Cleanup Export Spreadsheets as a recurring integration job, as it tells the system how long to keep old import/export spreadsheets in the Dataset\ImportExport directory. Not running this job as a recurring job will cause these files to unnecessarily accumulate.
- Nightly Maintenance – The Nightly Maintenance integration job clears out old carts, application logs, delivered emails, and integration history. As a best practice, it should be scheduled to run nightly during off-peak hours.
Integration job scheduling can be configured in the Admin Console at Administration > Jobs > Job Definitions.
Order submit
- {user["product-name"]} can be configured to submit orders to ERP when order submitted on Storefront.
- Setting named Submit Orders to ERP must be = "Yes"
- If setting = "Yes", schedules integration job where Standard Job Name = "Order Submit"

Rebuild search index
