Putting Data into a Domain

After creating a domain, you are ready to start putting data into the domain.

The PutAttributes operation creates or replaces attributes within an item. The attributes are specified using the Attribute.X.Name and Attribute.X.Value parameters. The first attribute is specified by the parameters Attribute.1.Name and Attribute.1.Value, the second attribute by the parameters Attribute.2.Name and Attribute.2.Value, and so on.

This section describes how to put the following data into the imaginary clothing/auto parts store "Off the Rack and Pinion."

The following table contains the information that you will be adding, modifying, and performing queries against.

ID	Category	Subcat.	Name	Color	Size	Make	Model	Year
Item_01	Clothes	Sweater	Cathair Sweater	Siamese	Small, Medium, Large
Item_02	Clothes	Pants	Designer Jeans	Paisley Acid Wash	30x32, 32x32, 32x34
Item_03	Clothes	Pants	Sweatpants	Blue, Yellow, Pink	Large			2006, 2007
Item_04	Car Parts	Engine	Turbos			Audi	S4	2000, 2001, 2002
Item_05	Car Parts	Emissions	O2 Sensor			Audi	S4	2000, 2001, 2002
