Hi,
Something I've always been curious about: Is it possible to do multiple fetch, import or cron tasks simultaneously?
For example, If I have the cron scheduled each day and its doing importing, and then I add a new feed to the website and decide to import it through the website, will it cause a problem?
If yes, if I setup two installations (eg one in the home directory and one in a subfolder), but they both used the same "feeds" folder, would that work? Or would it still cause problems because they are both using the same database?
Thanks
So I presume a sub-directory installation using the same database table prefix would not be OK?
Hello Sydney,
That's correct - same database / same database table prefix - should not have manual import processes taking place at the same time as CRON...
Cheers,
David.

Hello Sydney,
cron.php
andimport.php @ALL
use the "zero downtime" method where products are imported into a temporary table which is then switched over to become the new live products table at the end of the process; so in this case, feeds should not be imported manually at the same time.However a sub-directory installation (even if same MySQL database with different database table prefix) just using the same feeds folder is no problem...
Cheers,
David.
