Store Import Questions Problems 437 > 439

I am going to do a store import (one available now already). So there is a live store (4.3.7) and dev store (4.3.9). Few questions:

1) Can working live store anyhow be affected by store import, wish not to have any surprises, data go missing or store not working.

2) Data actualize. What exactly does this mean? Meaning, say I have various settings and things made to dev store, what will this process overwrite (theme related things do not worry me)? Basically I wish this actualize would only synchronize only orders, customers related stuff.

3) can image import be bypassed?

PS why? Because I want all many years addon garbage to be left behind..

By live store, are you referring to the 4.3.7 store? If so, then it will not be affected.


Actualization is resynch of orders, users and products and category data. Themes are unaffected.


You would have to hack the code to bypass images. But why wouldn’t you want images associated with their object?

Thanks.

I want just images fiscally do not change location (neither copy, neither move).

My server is VPS with support included, not self managed. Price for plan change to space & inods used... Sure its just temporary switch will not be too pricey, but after all done either way I'll have to move images from /dev to /

You should end up renaming / to /old and /dev to /

I am no good @ shell's, have no root access either way. I move files using directadmin file manager. 3GB images move is just few seconds, but copy is rather long..

PS by saying / I mean public_html/ white dev is on public_html/dev

You should end up renaming / to /old and /dev to /

after this import hangs forever..

According to logs job takes 3minus ~180sec and stops there..

max_execution_time 3600

memory_limit 1024M

(also same in config.local.php)

disabled all addons in 437

Completed import by disabling adblock and not on firefox but on chrome browser.

PS

I had all addons disabled, this has caused 404 at the end because Store Import also got disabled on completion. So disabling all addons not recommended, only third party.
