Hi,

Anyone have idea how to speed up loading of leads in Vicidial in a more faster way, coz loading huge leads takes so much time, any optimization we can implement to optimized it and make it faster somehow.Thanks

Loading like 500K leads

How are you loading them now?

Adjust in the php.ini..

Please find the below link for your information..

@Matt,

We are loading in Leads loader and its taking so much time loading, are there any other process to load leads, like 800K-900K leads..? Thanks

You can try using the CLI lead loader, which you can set up to pull files from an FTP account. It is not as flexible, but it is much faster than the web lead loader.

@Matt,

But i have custom field with it, is it still possible to include the custom fields somehow..? Thanks

Nope, with custom fields you have to either use the web lead-loader or the Non-Agent API.

THAT would require custom code. It would be possible to run a "followup" script that would acquire the custom data and put it in the associated custom fields.

Of course, the best method would be an add-on to the existing script that would be capable of custom fields.

If you have a limited scenario (one list that always has the same fields), it would not be as expensive to accomplish that as it would be to completely rewrite the FTP import script, of course.
