Scheduled Imports and exports

[jswalls110]

Is it possible to schedule imports and exports from inside SugarCRM?

What I would like to do is, import changed data both to my ERP and SugarCRM several times a day, wthout user intervention.

Thanks.

No, it is not possible to do it from within Sugar. However, you could write your own script/utility that does the import and fire it off using cron or Windows task scheduler.

Sorry Angel, you posted while I was writing! Well, I leave my reply anyway.

One option is to create custom php script that contains the logic needed for imports and exports and use Sugar's scheduler to execute it when needed.

Another option could be Jitterbit, more info here:

Or, if you are running MS Sql server, write and schedule a SQL agent job that handles the imports/exports.
