I've just set up a store that will have well over 10,000 items, uploaded about 1,500 items at a time. It's a photo site (http://regattashots.com/catalog) that consists of tons of photos each with the same ordering attributes. I did an upload this morning through Easy Populate and it went through flawlessly. I use Option Type Manager so Easy Populate won't update the text box attributes that it creates, so I was going to use Attributes Copier to copy the 10 or so attributes that each item has. This worked when I tested it on a small number of items.
Here are my problems:
Attributes Copier seems to time out when I try to copy all the attributes of one item to the 1600 items. I can do a few items (30 or 40) at a time, but that's not really a good solution for me with 10s of thousands of items.
Also..
Easy Populate won't download or save a Complete tab delimited text file. I am able to get a Model/Catagory downloaded but not a Complete list with Attributes. When i try, it just times out. I've tried different browsers too (im on Mac OS 10.3)
Has anyone experienced these problems with time outs? Or have any expereince with large stores like this? I know there are stores out there with thousands of items and it seems that Easy Populate and Attributes copier were made for these kinds of situations.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Justin
