Advanced Settings - Generate and Upload

Generate and Upload Settings

The feed file can be configured to be automatically generated and uploaded to the shopping system once in a certain period of time. Cron jobs must be active on the server in order for this option to be used.

If you have FTP/SFTP (SSH) Settings enabled you can generate and upload the feed file automatically if such a feature is supported by the destination shopping system.

Available Days

Choose the days on which the feed file will be generated / uploaded.
 

Active from, hour

Specify the time of the day when the feed generation / upload must be launched.
 

Active to, hour

Specify the time of the day when the feed generation / upload period must end.

Interval, hours

Choose the interval between repeated feed generations and uploads during the “Active from” and “Active to” time. The following intervals are available:

• every 1 hour: the feed file will be generated every hour between the “Active from” and “Active to” time.
• every 3 hours: the feed file will be generated every 3 hours between the “Active from” and “Active to” time.
• every 6 hours: the feed file will be generated every 6 hours between the “Active from” and “Active to” time.
• every 12 hours: the feed file will be generated 2 times a day starting with the “Active from” time.
• every 24 hours: the feed file will be generated 1 time a day starting with the “Active from” time.

Note that the feed file generation and upload time must not be identical. Check how much time the feed generation takes on your server and set the upload time with the corresponding delay to make sure that the generation process is complete before the upload begins.

Restart Cron, times

Set the number of times you want to restart the script if previous attempts were unsuccessful due to some server side issues.
