Feed

Feed is a data model used by the Amazon Component and implemented as such in Dovetail. To be able to dynamically set some properties, Dovetail provides specific DovetailAmazon headers, defined as below. In addition to the settings shown in the component, the component expects the Amazon Feed XML in the body of the exchange aswell.

Amazon Feed XSD's

Sending feeds to Amazon is pretty simple, construct the XML in your Dovetail flow and send it! This, however, requires you to construct the Amazon XML yourself. To help you get started we linked the Amazon XML Schema (.xsd) files for you below.

How does this work?

  1. Download the Amazon Envelope Schema File.

  2. Download the additional Feed Schema Files from the list below, and save them in the same folder.

  3. Load the Amazon Envelope Schema into Altova and select AmazonEnvelope as Root of your document.

  4. Start mapping! Note: You only need to map to the one feed message you want to use
