    Post Import thousands of products

    Hi,

    I have an XML file that contains about 36,000 products. I need to import it into my store (ML 8.0.1.2), but it doesn't work (error: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage). The file is about 110Mo.
    When I try to import much smaller files (2 or 3Mo) it works perfectly fine. Does it mean I have to break down the file into small files?

    Anybody has a better solution to import lots of products at once?

    Thanks.

    You can increase the maximum request size a bit with the directions found here, but it's not going to go anywhere near 110mb. You'll need to break that up into smaller pieces.

    Thanks,

    but this article refers to a line on the web.config that is not there anymore, at least for the v8.0.1.2.

    Does the parameter have a new name?

    Nope, you don't need a new name for that one. httpRuntime element is already built in so you could freely add it, then set the maxRequestLength property to the desired value.
