Business value

The Channel Data Exchange (CDX) component synchronizes data between Commerce Channel Databases (co-located cloud channel, Commerce Cloud Scale Unit, Commerce Store Scale Unit, and Modern point of sale (MPOS) with offline support).

A number of performance and reliability updates have been implemented that solve issues regarding data unavailability, slowness on other components, or impact on database data and log sizes. It is a constant focus to maximize availability, reliability, and efficiency in our data synchronization framework (CDX).

Feature details

This feature will contain several independent improvements in the following areas:

  • Improve data package generation in Commerce headquarters.
  • Improve data package when applying to a channel database.
  • Reduce the number of required full synchronizations and, when unavoidable, minimize the performance impact.
  • Multiple data optimizations, including master data stripping at the channel level, updating DB statistics, and indexing during synchronization.
