Slow XML import

Former Member
Former Member
Hia,

We have a conversion mechnism running that's converting legacy postscript output to generic PDF with formatted XML (1 pdf = 1 pdf, same naming).
On a daily base about 5000 files are generated and imported with an external file source job using the XML and xpaths for meta data.
It's all working nicely, however, the import into M-Files is so slo...o..w.....

Any experience here to speed up this process, to increase the # of files per import (for example 500 in stead of 100) etc?
The (virtual) hardware shouldn't be the issue, nor the SQL vault database.

We have a backlog of let's say a few million files, so any speed increase would be great.


PS: best wishes all!

  • What would be the impact if we duplicate the import job to a second or third, and do parallel imports? Is M-Files ready for concurrent threads in this manner and would that increase import speed?


    If there is a logical way to split the importing to several jobs that might speed things up since each import job runs in its own thread I think. However I'm not that familiar with the technical details of importing so you could check this from technical support if you have a maintenance subscription. Support may also have an explanation for why the importing slows down after a while.
