----------------------------------------------------------
To be more specific:
I use jitterbit community edition to make integration tasks. I connect to
Magento using its WSDL interface, which is relatively easy to do, without
knowing the internals of Magento (php, javascript, database etc.). To access
data on Magento, I had not necessary to modify the code of Magento in any way,
so, I can access from one application (jitterbit) to any Magento on the world
via internet.
So, my vision with lsmb would be similar: to access a (relatively) simple
interface, avoid any code modification, to access information and manipulating
them. That is why I asked my original question, is there any web api or similar
tool to access to lsmb.
After reading your replies, I guess there is no such an interface yet available
in the mainline code, so, it is necessary to find a workaround or mode.
As I am getting familiar with jitterbit, I plan to use this tool in the future,
instead of writing own code. Some reasons:
it can access to Postgresql or Mysql directly
can access web service (WSDL) interfaces
file share (ftp, smb)
transformations etc.
So, in this case I can see the following limits and scenario:
to use lsmb with jitterbit, it is necessary to access to the DB directly and
dig out the necessary data (read) or write any data into,
as every installation could have different "layouts" (warehouses, taxes,
accounts, whatever, workflow, groups etc.) to access a specific database, will
be necessary to get and set global parameters (not clear yet for me either, but
based on my Magento experience, it will be necessary to determine some
variables, for example the ID of the default warehouse, group etc.)
probably based on the DB access, the interface I was looking for could be
implement inside Jitterbit, which means, it needs a complete server/vps to do
it -> it only valuable for a few people, but not in generic use, due to that,
this "solution" is too resource hungry.
I just start to check Bennett's interface, which seems to provide the
same/similar functions what I need. As I wrote earlier, these functions are
pretty common :)
I hope I explained a little bit better, what is in my mind, when I wrote web
api :)
Bye now,
István
