.txt file upload takes extremely long time

Sunday 28 October 2007 8:43:37 pm

Hi all

I have a form available to users which is the edit view of a custom class. One of the input fields on the form is file field.

When I test uploading a .txt file which contains about 5000 rows of basic data (name, email address, address, etc...) it takes almost 2 minutes to upload this file.

The file size is only 300kb.

I think it has something to do with eZCharTransform, does anyone know why this is taking so long and anyway to reduce the upload time?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi

I think this may be caused by the search in eZ Publish. When data is published, it'll automatically be indexed. This is probably causing the delay you're experiencing.

You can avoid this by either enabling delayed indexing ( http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/searchsettings/delayedindexing + http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/features/cronjobs/the_cronjob_scripts#indexcontent ), or try the eZ Find search extension ( http://ez.no/ezfind ). eZ Find may also be used with delayed indexing.

Thanks Kare and Massimiliano, the searchable attribute was exactly what was causing the delay.

Appreciate your help.
