Ability to trigger full inventory availability for a specific set of DG Merged

Customer has DC locations across the world and there are different websites for different geographies. These websites build inventory cache and require full inventory publish daily based on their defined schedule. As part of solution, DCs at different fulfillment zones/geographies are defined within specific distribution groups. To publish the full inventory update, IV API is triggered for 'DgAvailabilityChange/publish_all', but there is no option to specify specific DG value in this API. This causes a lot of time to publish inventory, consumes a lot of extra and unnecessary space in COS bucket and requires lot of filtering out the inventory for other DGs.


IV service API should have an option to trigger inventory publish for a set of DGs rather than publishing for every single DG configured.

How will this idea be used?

Inventory publishing API will be invoked as required based on the DG corresponding to the eCommerce websites.
