Import faster in Magento

A lot of import scripts I’ve worked with previously are very slow. It’s true to say that Magento is a bit of a memory and process hog, but there are a few things that we can do to speed up import processes. It’s worth noting that these don’t apply if you’re doing direct database updating; they only apply if you use the API/Dataflow.

It is very important to have a good specification of server to run Magento in the first place, and imports are likely to push the server to its limits. Instead of a transactional lifestyle, the server is going to be hit repeatedly until the data you want to import has been added.

I wouldn’t recommend doing any sort of import onto a live box unless you absolutely must.  Simply because it will impact on the performance of your main site for a sustained period. You can of course run imports as scheduled tasks out of normal operating hours, or importing into a staging version of your site and then merge across at a time of convenience – which can be quite tricky.

There are a few things you can do to improve the speed of imports, and to make sure that your imports don’t fail.

Memory limit

Set the the memory limit for your script so that it has enough to get the job done, and not too much that it will impact on your site. Simply add this at the top of your script, setting the size to be something appropriate:

Code:

---

ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M');

---

This all depends on how much memory is in your box, how many products/orders etc you’re working on with your script.

Magento Store

Set the current store for Magento before beginning your import. In this case, we only have one store ID in our Magento setup, so we can just set it to the admin store id.

Code:

---

Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);

---

Indexing

Magento has a very thorough caching and indexing system. Every time you add or edit a product, or amend an attribute, the caching system updates and also re-indexes the data. This improves front-end load times and accuracy of search data as well as many other things. This can get in the way when we’re doing an import though – Magento would have to do this every time a product is added/updated and we might be adding or updating thousands of records during an import. It’s safe to say that this is probably the case in any running store. You’ve probably already noticed that Magento has the ability to set these to “manual”.

We’re going to leverage this so that our script runs quicker. The theory is that we can suspend indexing, complete our process, and then re-enable & re-run indexing. We can therefore end up with two functions – unSetIndex() which we can call at the beginning of our process, and setIndex() that we can call at the end to change things back. Obviously, you only need to call these in your script as and when you want, i.e. if you don’t have indexes set on staging, don’t call them.

PHP Code:

---

private function unSetIndex()
{
    $processes = Mage::getSingleton('index/indexer')->getProcessesCollection();
    $processes->walk('setMode', array(Mage_Index_Model_Process::MODE_MANUAL));
    $processes->walk('save');

    return true;
}

private function setIndex()
{
    $processes = Mage::getSingleton('index/indexer')->getProcessesCollection();
    $processes->walk('reindexAll');
    $processes->walk('setMode', array(Mage_Index_Model_Process::MODE_REAL_TIME));
    $processes->walk('save');

    return true;
} 


---

As you can see in the setIndex() function, we make a call to “reindexAll”. You could omit this is you didn’t actually want to trigger the re-index and had it scheduled. It would probably be a bit mean to make the next person to save a product wait while it re-indexes everything.

Time your scripts

This tip doesn’t directly speed up your script, but it’s good to benchmark your script as you put it together and do test runs. This will also give you some insight into where you’re at when comparing your development, staging and live environments.

I’ve had this in my arsenal for quite some time, so dug out a reference to it – http://www.developerfusion.com/code/...n-time-in-php/

PHP Code:

---

<!-- put this at the top of the page -->
<!--?php 
   $mtime = microtime();
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
   $starttime = $mtime;
?-->

<!-- put other code and html in here -->

<!-- put this code at the bottom of the page -->
<!--?php 
   $mtime = microtime();
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
   $endtime = $mtime;
   $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime);
   echo "This page was created in ".$totaltime." seconds";
?-->

Thanks Golddev, some useful advice for importing into Magento

Thank you very much for your valuable input. store information sharing. God bless you70-461

Looking for advice on doing a bulk import of 2000+ products to my magento CE store. The store already has over 1000 products loaded. Looking to add several thousands more products from 2-4 different vendor companies.
Q. Do the .csv files that I would use for the import, need to have the exact same column heading names as the database that the site is already using for the products already loaded? PS.. the .csv file includes images, at least one per product.

Or put another way, can the column heading names for the .csv files from the new vendor companies, be different from the column headings being used by the product database that the site is currently using..?? Thank you to anyone that can help educate me on this.

What's about import and exporting product views in Magento 2? Beside using extension like that, is there any other solution?

Great way to to speed up import processes!
- json formatter -

Default Magento provides functions to import and export products via CSV but does not allow us to import and export product reviews into the website. In Magento 2, this drawback has not been improved. Therefore, an extension called Magento 2 Import/Export Product Reviews is developed to help users to control reviews when changing websites.
+ Import product reviews via a CSV file
+ Provide a sample CSV file to download and follow
+ Export all product reviews into a CSV file also

these are all good advice . I appreciate it
