Description Chris Hobbs 2011-08-24 21:42:50 UTC
We've about 13,000 students that we want to refresh regularly from our student information system. We've done so using import_borrowers.pl, but since upgrading from 3.0 to a released 3.2 up through a very recent git build (3.05.00.008) we've been unable to update our patrons using this tool. We always get Apache's Gateway Timeout error after 10 minutes.

If we import only new patrons (the "Ignore this one, keep the existing one" is selected), then the import succeeds even though the import file is still 13,000 records long. It's only when we choose the "Overwrite the existing one with this" option that it stalls out. If I break it up into smaller chunks (~1000 student patrons) it works.

We have been working with files of multiple thousands in recent versions. There is no also the REST API for patrons and a command line script. Closing this RESOLVED FIXED, please reopen if I am mistaken.
