Is there a limit to impex header length or number of attributes?

[Former Member]

I am using Impex to load data in the product model. My Impex header contains around 700 attributes already & it may increase in future.

So is there a chance that it can fail in future as when it reaches 1000+ attributes in Impex header. Is there a limit from hybris for max number of attributes in impex header?

The reason for such a big header is I have mostly localized attributes & I have around 20 languages & Hence the Impex looks like below.

INSERT_UPDATE MyProduct; code[unique = true]; name[lang = en_GL]; name[lang = en_US]; name[lang = de_DE]; name[lang = es_MX]............desc[lang = en_GL]; desc[lang = en_US]; desc[lang = de_DE]; desc[lang = es_MX]............

Even if this is an older thread, I might say that your impexes shouldn't be like that.

I would refactor them and split them in different files based on language. In that way, it's easier to track different changes (e.g. you add a new language, you don't need to change the 1000 lines impex, just the one that is for specific language).

How to do that... probably the safer method would be to manually do it.
