Restricting timport's resource usage

Post by foosh101 »

I have several batch (.cmd) files setup to timport .csv files and then index them. This works fine, but when I run it, the server gets totally hosed. It consumes damn near 100% or the resources, and basically prevents any other tasks from running while the script is. Any way control the amound or resources that texis can use?

You could use timport within a Vortex script, and sleep periodically. Timport will use as much CPU as the OS gives it, so the other option would be to run it at a lower priority level with "START /LOW" or "nice"
