Hi Emmanuel,  
maybe it will perform better, if you started the migration via command line. The commands are explained here: [https://docs.shopware.com/en/migration-en/shopware6-Migrationsprocess#migration-of-large-amounts-of-data-by-the-console](https://docs.shopware.com/en/migration-en/shopware6-Migrationsprocess#migration-of-large-amounts-of-data-by-the-console).

Kind regards,  
Markus

Hi Emmanuel,  
the migration command must be started in your Shopware 6 command line. It is available there, if the migration plugin was installed there.

Kind regards,  
Markus
