Is it possible to create an upload file of user objects (customer profiles) from an old e-commerce system running on Oracle, and import/migrate them into the Commerce Server 2007 user object ?
John,
This is entirely possible, provided that you have the necassary information. I think the major problem you'll encounter is migrating the passwords between the two systems. Commerce Server stores passwords as a one-way hash, so there's no way to decrypt the original password from the database. If your older oracle system used a similiar hashing mechanism, you'll have to do some custom development to get this working.
One option is to keep the oracle system online and have the user initially authenticate against the old system. During the authentication process, you could persist the new password to the Profiles system in Commerce Server, or you could have the user create a new password in the Profiles system once they authenticate with the Oracle system. You could then use the Profiles system for subsequent authentication attempts.
