Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I have to load a large product catalog. Loading it via CSV is creating lots of issues due to base64 encoded image size so I would like to try importing the catalog via XML.
I know how to represent a product in XML, but I do not know how to load the actual XML. Once the XML file is prepared, how do I load it into Odoo v8?
Take this as example of how to load an xml data in a module, at the end you just need to install the module:
File at the path views/data.xml
Registered in __openerp__.py of your module like:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
<data noupdate="1">
<record id="product_product_consultant" model="product.product">
<field name="categ_id" ref="product.product_category_5"/>
<field name="sale_ok" eval="True"/>
</record>
<record id="product_product_4" model="product.product">
<field name="name">iPad Retina Display</field>
<field name="categ_id" ref="ipad"/>
<field name="standard_price">500.0</field>
<field name="list_price">750.0</field>
<field name="type">consu</field>
<field name="uom_id" ref="product_uom_unit"/>
<field name="uom_po_id" ref="product_uom_unit"/>
<field name="description_sale">7.9‑inch (diagonal) LED-backlit, 128Gb
Dual-core A5 with quad-core graphics
FaceTime HD Camera, 1.2 MP Photos</field>
<field name="default_code">A2323</field>
<field name="attribute_value_ids" eval="[(6,0,[ref('product.product_attribute_value_1'), ref('product.product_attribute_value_3')])]"/>
</record>
<record id="product_product_4b" model="product.product">
<field name="default_code">A2324</field>
<field name="product_tmpl_id" ref="product_product_4_product_template"/>
<field name="attribute_value_ids" eval="[(6,0,[ref('product.product_attribute_value_1'), ref('product.product_attribute_value_4')])]"/>
</record>
</data>
</openerp>

Do I really need to create a module for this? I have large sets of records to load, having to install and reinstall all modules sounds weird. Is there any bulk load mechanism?
Until I know there is no other way that allow you to import the records doing the base64 encode
There is the option of using XML RPC, I tried and it works (although it does not use XML). I also finally managed to find the issue in CSV and loaded all data through CSV. I anyway thank you for showing how to load data via XML, it might help in future.
