Policy-based store catalog synchronization

Abstract

A method, system and program product for policy-based navigational catalog synchronization. A method for policy-based store catalog synchronization can include applying inclusion rules to a node filter during a synchronization process between a store catalog and a navigational catalog. The applying step can include reading store-level product and category inclusion flags to determine whether to include product and category updates detected in the navigational catalog to the store catalog. In a particular aspect of the present invention, the applying step can include retrieving one or more log entries for updates to the navigational catalog and, for each log entry, reading store-level product and category inclusion flags to determine whether to include one of a product update and a category update to the store catalog.
