Massimo, thanks a lot for your help! I will upgrade right away then. (I have very limited time, so I was afraid to break things.)
My comments: (a) We need to get the import process run instantly on user UI action (link click). Couple of seconds later is okay, but half a minute later is not okay. (b) We may have several users doing that at the same time, thus n such tasks need to be able to run in parallel. Will the scheduler allow me to implement an acceptable solution? Thanks!
