Adobe Business Catalyst Source Data Export

Adobe Business Catalyst Source Data Export

A complete Adobe Business Catalyst export gives Next-Cart the source files required by the selected migration path.

Adobe Business Catalyst is discontinued

Adobe Business Catalyst is no longer an active hosted platform. You can prepare data only if you already have export or backup files created before the platform became unavailable.

When to use this guide

Use this guide when:

• Adobe Business Catalyst is the Source Platform;
• Next-Cart shows source data file upload for Adobe Business Catalyst;
• you already have legacy backup files, site export files, CRM exports, or eCommerce data exports.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, confirm that:

Requirement	Why it matters
Existing backup files	The hosted platform is unavailable, so data must come from files you already possess.
Site export package	Content and site files may be stored in a ZIP export.
CRM or customer export	Customer data may exist in a separate CSV export.
eCommerce exports	Product and order data may exist in separate CSV files.
File ownership approval	Legacy backups may contain personal and order data that must be handled securely.

Data types to export

Data type	Required file or source	Notes
Site content	Site export ZIP, if available	May contain website assets and content files.
Customers	CRM or customer CSV export	Required if customer records are in scope.
Products	eCommerce product CSV export	Required if product catalog data is in scope.
Orders	eCommerce order CSV export	Required if historical order data is in scope.

Before you prepare files

Do not create empty replacement files. If a required legacy export does not exist, mark it as unavailable and contact support.

Create a folder such as:

source-exports/
└── adobe-business-catalyst/
    ├── site-backup/
    ├── customers/
    ├── products/
    └── orders/

Prepare the files

1. Locate the Adobe Business Catalyst site export ZIP, if you have one.
2. Locate CRM or customer CSV exports, if customer data is in scope.
3. Locate eCommerce product CSV exports, if product data is in scope.
4. Locate eCommerce order CSV exports, if order history is in scope.
5. Place each file in the matching folder.
6. Keep original file names where possible.
7. Create a short notes file that lists which expected files are present and which are missing.

Organize the exported files

File type	Place it in
Site export ZIP	source-exports/adobe-business-catalyst/site-backup/
CRM or customer CSV	source-exports/adobe-business-catalyst/customers/
Product CSV	source-exports/adobe-business-catalyst/products/
Order CSV	source-exports/adobe-business-catalyst/orders/
Availability notes	source-exports/adobe-business-catalyst/

Expected result

You have all available Adobe Business Catalyst backup and export files organized for review and upload to Next-Cart.

Verify the export package

Check	Pass condition
Existing files	Every file you intend to upload exists locally and can be opened or extracted.
File origin	Files come from Adobe Business Catalyst backups or exports, not manually reconstructed data.
Scope coverage	Products, Customers, Orders, and site content are present where they are in scope.
Missing-file notes	Any unavailable file is clearly listed before upload.
File integrity	ZIP files extract successfully and CSV files are readable.

If the export is incomplete

Issue	What to check
No backup files exist	The legacy data may not be recoverable from the discontinued hosted platform. Contact support before proceeding.
Site ZIP exists but data CSV files are missing	Upload the site ZIP only if requested, and note that customer, product, or order files are unavailable.
CSV files are corrupted	Look for another backup copy before upload.
Files have unclear names	Keep the files, but add a notes file describing the expected contents of each file.
Custom fields are present in unusual files	Preserve representative examples and confirm whether supported mapping can handle them. Use Custom Service only for the portion that remains outside supported handling.
