Run Schedule
- Dorin Mirulescu
Run schedule helps you generate your feed daily to keep your products up to date with the marketplace provider.
In order for the schedule to work, your server needs to have the cron set. Check Installation & upgrades for details.
You may generate the feed more than one time per day, by adding multiple schedule rows, use Add Schedule button to create a schedule. (see Fig 19.1)
Fig 19.1 Run Schedule
- Start At
Schedules are processed daily and will start generating the feed at the hour defined in start at dropdown. - Batch Mode
Specifies whether all products will be processed at once, or in several batches. The number of batches required to complete processing all products is determined by dividing total number of products by Batch Limit. - Batch Limit
Sets the number of products which will be processed in one batch.
The batch mode should only be turned on for large catalogs (>10.000 products), and only if the memory limit is not enough to process all your feeds in one go. Batches are processed one after another till all products are processed, with a small delay between batches given by the cron.php frequencies.
If by any chance the memory limit is reached for a schedule, the batch mode will automatically be set and batch limit calculated based on the number of products processed so far.
If you define FTP uploads for your feed, whenever the feed processes, it will also upload the resulting file on all FTP accounts defined. In case of batch processing, the file will only be uploaded when the feed file completes.
