Limit on Data import?

  • We have a large amount of data to import. I have been doing some testing, and it seems like the import page will hang if it’s too large. Then over time, if I refresh and chest the List Participants, it looks as if it gets to around 5,000 mark on imports, then crashes out. Is this the plugin? or my host.

    In the current version of the plugin, there is a limit to the number of records you can import at one time. This is due to the fact that it imports them all in a single operation, and there will be a limit to the amount of time that that operation can run. This is due to server configuration.

    I am working on a new import function that runs in the background and can import much larger numbers of records, but it is not available yet.

    You can break you import up into smaller chunks (a few thousand) and perform the import in several batches. Make sure there is a “duplicate check” set up on a unique identifier field so that if there is any overlap, you won’t get duplicate records.

    Yes, that is what I ended up doing. I broke things down into around 3,000 entries per file. It worked out find doing this. Great plugin, thank you. Came in handy.
