Importer Batch
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
**Batch Type Key:** ``importer``
|
|
|
|
**Purpose:** Allows user to preview an importer run before committing it.
|
|
|
|
**Default Handler:** :class:`~rattail:rattail.batch.importer.ImporterBatchHandler`
|
|
|
|
Normally when an importer runs, e.g. via command line, it reads data
|
|
from the host system and writes it to the local / target side. If in
|
|
dry run mode, then the local data is not actually written. But it's
|
|
normally "all or nothing" in the sense that you either want to commit
|
|
all the writes, or else you don't (dry run).
|
|
|
|
It's also possible to write the import data to a batch, which can then
|
|
be previewed and perhaps even adjusted. Then executing the batch will
|
|
"finalize" the import using data from the batch.
