How it Works
Technical Details
Synchronization flow contains 4 steps:- Adobe Commerce Update Location Service requests Fluent for location data for a specific date-time range.
- Fluent returns appropriate location information.
- Adobe Commerce publishes received data to the Adobe Commerce message queue.
- Location message consumer fetches published messages and saves appropriate locations.
Synchronization types
There are three synchronization types implemented:- Full
- Manual
- Delta
Full Synchronization
Allows synchronizing all locations, supposed to be used after module installation to import all location information from Fluent to Adobe Commerce. To fetch the location, it uses the location updated date range from 1970-01-01 to NOW + 5 mins.Can be run from Magento CLI with the command below:`1bin/magento fluent:store_locator:sync`Manual Synchronization
Allows fetching from Fluent location changes from a specific date. Can be run only from the admin interface. It uses the date range from SPECIFIED to NOW + 5minsDelta Synchronization
A background process to keep Adobe Commerce locations up to date, being executed by Adobe Commerce cron job. The frequency of the cron job execution can be configured in module configuration in Adobe Commerce admin. By default, it runs every day at midnight in the configured admin timezone. It uses a date range from LAST_EXECUTION_TIME to NOW + 5 mins.Simplified module architecture
