had an email from the server company today that said they had to kill the import script as it had been running for 18 hours (quite amazed they let me run it for that long really :) )
any way it usually takes 1 to 2 hours , the only changes i have made were to add a lot of "drop record if category Is....) one retailer has 20 or so of these added , as i wanted to reduce the size of the database and just have the items i want.
do you know if this would have caused the problems???
cheers
just tried it and it imported fine , im just tracing back now what feed was the last one that imported completely and hopefully this will tell me the problem feed
Hi Jonny,
It shouldn't cause any problem as dropping records means less database activity not more. However, would it be possible for you to test this by trying to import the feed that you have created these filters against on its own and see how long it takes, or whether it does hang up...
Cheers,
David.
