Delivery Processing Time - taking longer

Avatar

Level 2

Hello ,

How long do deliveries generally takes to process within Campaign -- before actual sending of email?

The processing and sending is taking substantially longer.The success rate is in the 97-99% range, however some of the deliveries itself take up to 45 min.

With in same campaign , delivery is scheduled everyday at 5 p.m . Where few delivery takes 5 min , while some take 50 min to process.

Seen from Logs , for longer duration deliveries , the major time is consumed between two steps , highlighted below.

Adobe Campaign V7    Build - 8850

So I'm curious what factors are causing delay in few deliveries and what is happening btw the time of logs highlighted.

Logs are as follows :

Hi Diksha,

Have you tried batching your deliveries in the delivery template?

If you go to properties and then select the delivery tab you can add a batching quantity to the field shown below.

Start with 256 and see if that makes any difference to the delivery execution time.

Also, it's worth checking your environment to make sure there are not too many deliveries getting executed at the same time.

Hey Dave!

Our team is also experiencing a similar issue, could you explain what the Message Batch Actually does if set to 256? I have tried to gather more info from the Adobe docs but couldn't find anything 

We usually use the Define Waves piece to set our deployment at 175k per 30min, and due to the size of the list (1.5 to 3 million), we are seeing the message processing time increase into the hours at some point. One solution we tried and it seems to work, although a band-aid at best, is duplicating delivery nodes and splitting the list into smaller more manageable chunks, as our assumption is both the size and amount of data (close to 30 columns and offer tables used) was leading to the long processing times.
