Are there any technical requirements for migration performance?

Technical Requirements for a Successful Data Migration

While there aren't universal technical requirements applicable to every e-commerce platform for data migration, optimizing your server environment can significantly improve the speed and reliability of the process. The following recommendations will help ensure a smooth data migration.

Recommended Server Configurations for Data Migration

Sufficient server resources are crucial for efficient data migration. Please consider the following PHP configurations:

  • memory_limit: At least 128M. For larger stores, especially those using Magento, 512M or higher is recommended.
  • post_max_size: 16M or higher.
  • max_execution_time: 60 seconds or higher.

Suhosin Module Considerations

If the Suhosin module is installed, ensure the following settings are configured appropriately:

  • suhosin.post.max_value_length: 16777216 or higher.
  • suhosin.request.max_value_length: 16777216 or higher.

Additional Recommendations for Data Migration

To further optimize your server for data migration, consider the following:

  • Temporarily disable limits on the number of requests to the server.
  • Ensure firewalls are configured to allow communication between your store and the Cart2Cart application.
  • Disable basic authentication, if enabled, as it can interfere with the migration process.
  • Database Size: Ensure you have enough free space on your database server to accommodate the migrated data.
  • Connection Limits: Check the maximum number of allowed database connections and increase it if necessary to avoid connection errors during the migration.

By addressing these technical considerations, you can significantly improve the performance and reliability of your data migration with Cart2Cart.
