How to ignore EAV attributes?

[MagePsycho]

I didn't find any mapping file where I can ignore the cusotm eav attributes for products.
Please do suggest.

Ideally - delete them from source data - so you are only migrating what required

[MagePsycho]

But that's not the correct way. I was thinking if ignoring attributes can be done based on mapping files just like tables and fields.

Use eav-attribute-groups.xml.dist for this

[MagePsycho]

WOW that's cool.
BTW, is there's a way to know which tables has been imported so far?
My Map Step is stuck at 12%, and not sure which tables' data are being updated.

[victor-v-rad]

use -vvv option. It shows progress bar per table and code backtrace of an error if any

Is there a way to ignore attribute by entity_type? I want to ignore product > custom_image but not category > custom_image?

If you add custom_image attribute in eav-attribute-groups.xml, it will ignore for all, right?

The issue is a duplicate of #134 follow up for it.

Hi, I try of ignore the attributes of customer for example cedula my code is

<attribute type="customer">cedula</attribute>

Document: eav_attribute_group. Fields: attribute_group_code,tab_group_code
[2017-02-27 14:32:53][ERROR]: Source fields are not mapped. Document: catalog_eav_attribute. Fields: is_required_in_admin_store,is_used_in_grid,is_visible_in_grid,is_filterable_in_grid,search_weight,additional_data

To ignore client attributes uses the file eav-attribute-groups.xml.dist and create a copy

cp eav-attribute-groups.xml.dist eav-attribute-groups.xml

In the node ignore we placed the attributes that we want to be careful with the type of attribute that we place example

<groups xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xs:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../groups.xsd"> <group name="ignore"> <attribute type="catalog_product">msrp_enabled</attribute> <!-- ignore attributes --> <attribute type="customer">cedula</attribute> <!-- ignore end --> </group> </groups>

If the type is the indicated ignore the one you want, otherwise it will not do anything or ignore it in another place With the edited document we go to do the migration
