Running very large processes

Support Request

I have automatee running 3 jobs, running 2 perfectly, and triggering all 3 but the third process gets cut off, so it starts but doesnt finish.

The plugin that it is calling itself works fine, and when called through a template runs all the way through to conclusion.

It does however take up to around an hour to run.

It is designed to load up and drop data on the fly (simply because there’s more data there than can be handled in one go)

Should it be possible for automatee to run such a plugin, or are their any changes that can be made easily to enable this?

Many thanks for what is a great add on.

Hi James,

Sorry to hear about your issue.

I think I know what the issue could be though; either it’s timing out or there’s a memory limit issue.

Automat:ee is set within itself to run for 24 hours but some servers don’t allow scripts to set their own timeout. Can you increase the server timeout within your php.ini, run your cron, and let me know how it goes?

If your issue persists, it’s likely there’s a memory issue. I only bring this up as a possibility because you mention your plugin “loads and drops data on the fly”. One way to test this would be to log in as a Super Admin and paste the URL for your personal Automat:ee Cron Action. You can get this from the Settings page within Automat:ee though you’ll have to extract it out of a shell command (it should look like http://...?ACT=XX).

Please let me know how it goes sir.
Eric
