With this specific application, we can import data, but there are limitations due to its 2000-era handling of XML files.<\/p>\n
A better method would allow just uploading the files to a page. Background processes would monitor that location and process the files independent of the browser. Notifications can be sent to alert the user the processing is done.<\/p>\n
Or… recognize the echo XML file because you took too long and prevent it from being loaded or remove the data.<\/p>\n
I ended up figuring out that if we split the files at about 5,000 records, then it should take about half the 5 minute window. I am pleased that for most I have seen that is true and about one in ten take so much longer that if I had cheated and gone with closer to the 5 minutes, I would be deleting duplicates. (This last is because some files are 50MB and others 100MB.)<\/p>\n
The grumbling of this post is that I am on the 25th of 58 files. This is tedious. I am lamenting not creating a curl script to do this part for me. Automation is perfect for things like this.<\/p>\n
