Hi,
First, i upload one feed, from 1 merchant, it has N products. Then the merchant adds more products. How could i upload the same feed, but only the new products, without uploading the whole data feed (N+1).
Thanks,
Gabriel
Well yeah, i know that this is the best way, but when you have several feeds that contain over 300 Mb each? It`s a little work there.
Thanks,
Gabriel
Hi Gabriel,
If you have shell access to your account (SSH or Telnet), then where possible make sure that you are obtaining and uploading to your site a compressed file (zip, gzip etc.) - then login and uncompress on your server. That will decrease the upload time by a considerable amount as product feeds are highly compressible.
For feeds of this size, I presume that you are using the automation scripts (import.php) etc. as you will almost certainly experience browser, proxy or network timeouts if you try to import through the browser / admin interface.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
Thanks for your reply. I will send you an email of what exactly i will do. I can`t publish yet here.
Thanks,
Gabriel
Hello Gabriel,
The import process in Price Tapestry loads the entire feed in one go; there is no incremental upload option. This is by far the safest way to go about it and guarantees that your site matches the complete merchant database whenever you import the latest version of the feed.
Cheers,
David.
