M2E Pro and Magmi Setup - magento

I have implemented a third-party Inventory Management Software (Bright Pearl). The software keeps tracks of quantity in Magento store to match the quantity with other stores which are also connected to BrightPearl.
Problem is: M2E does not pick up Quantity changes that are sent from BrightPearl to Magento.
Example: In BrightPearl “Product X” quantity changes from 10 to 7. It sends signal to Magento store, and in Magento the quantity for “Product X” changes to 7 (We are good!). The issue is that M2E does not pick-up a change of 7. It continues to show Product X quantity as 10. I have to manually go to “Product X” in Magento and save it. This way M2E will see the new quantity of 7.
I read that M2E can programmatically be notified to pick-up changes using Magmi.
Could someone shed some light into, how to set up Magmi ?
If you have other suggestions how to notify M2E of such changes, please let me know.

you would need to unstall magmi plugin under m2e pro. the problem with 3rd party 9inc. Bright Peral) is that these often do not follow Magento API and inject SQL rather than updating models ...

Magento can not set/edit product sort number since upgrade

ever since we upgrade to Magento 1.14 when you go to Catalog ->Manage category -?category product tabs the position field is no longer editable.
First of all clarify the version of your Magento store, you have EE.
Now there are many reasons for something to break after upgrade, start by looking at the logs to get a better idea. Delete any old logs and refresh the categories backend.
Also good idea is if you have a backup rename the app/design/adminhtml/default folder and rollback the previous version.
Or try folder by folder to locate what file creates this issue.
For example rename and switch app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/catalog with the old one , test etc etc...
Don't know if you still need this but I ran into same problem today :).
If you don't have the position field available for edition is it more likely you have the module OnTap_Merchandiser installed, take a look into its configuration under System / Configuration / Catalog / Visual Merchandising Options, you can enable it there.
If the module is installed, you can also check on category management page the tab Visual Merchandiser, there you can specify sort order for your products.

Can't add Bundle Products to a created Bundle in CRM

I modified the Product entity form for a particular CRM environment in 2015. However, I don't see a + sign to add Bundle Products to it.
However, in my trial environment, I'm easily able to do so.
Not sure what went wrong. I checked for both Draft bundle and Active Bundle.
PS: I'm not using Product Family.

Upgrading one product but not the other when both products have the same upgrade code

I have two products installed. They have the same version number and upgrade code, but different product code. I would like to do a major upgrade on one of these products, but the upgrade exe that I created ends up removing both products, and installing new one.
That being said, how can I keep one product installed when the product has the same upgrade code with the another product that I would like to upgrade?
The Upgrade table first drives FindRelatedProducts. FindRelatedProducts uses the information to perform MSI product searches. If places the ProductCode of a found in the property specified by the ActionProperty column
Later, RemoveExistingProducts performs an uninstall of any ProductCodes found in any ActionProperty properties ( provided that msidbUpgradeAttributesOnlyDetect is not set ).
So the trick out of a sticky situation like this is to author an Upgrade row that will cause FindRelatedProducts to not find either product. Then use a custom action to do your own searches and set the properties as needed ( one but not the other ). Now RemoveExistingProducts will be able to perform the major upgrade.
As a side note: this is a work around and not a best practice. Carefully consider your choice of UpgradeCodes, ProductCodes and ProductVersion properties to avoid this situation in the future.

Importing products from one site to another in Magento

Im currently hosting my Magento website and i want to make another website without adding any new products in in newsite. I want to importy products from the older website to newer one.
I tried dumping the older database to the newer one but does'nt help.
Is there any other possible way ??
You could re-create the attribute sets and categories on the old site and export the products using
System > Import/Export > Dataflow - Profiles
However that does not solve the issue of grouped or configurable products, or product options if you have them. If that is the case, you might need to upgrade your existing installation (or ensure it is the same version as the new website) and then copy the database across.

Read content of a joomla plugin from remote site

I have Joomla CMS and use Virtuemart plugin to sale some products.
I want to sale same products that another site sales.
Please help me to read from remote or copy to local.
I never want to you do my project I just your guidance.
Not sure what version of VM you're using, but the database for products in VM is quite extensive, so I would be very surprised if this was possible. I've done scores of import projects for VM, and have always needed the non-visible values of the database for the products to have active products on our sites.
