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?

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?

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

<?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>

Registered in __openerp__.py of your module like:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

{

'name': 'Products Data',

'version': '1.1',

'author': 'OpenERP SA',

'depends': ['base', 'product'],

'website': 'https://www.odoo.com',

'description': """

""",

'data': [

'views/data.xml',

],

'installable': True,

'auto_install': False,

}

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.
