Improving Email activity sending performance
You can set two parameters in the EMLMSG database table that can improve performance when you use Email or Dialog activities to send marketing emails.
Dialog activities are available only in the Professional and Enterprise editions of WebSphere Commerce.
About this task
- CONTENT=GENERIC
- Set this parameter if the email content is the same for all customers. For examples, if your email template does not generate content that is personalized for individual customers. As a result, the marketing services create the email JSP only one time, and the same email content is sent to all customers.
- THREADCOUNT=value
- Set this parameter to increase the number of threads that handle sending emails. This increase
in threads can shorten the time that it takes to send many emails. The number for this value
represents the number of threads. The THREADCOUNT value must be a number that ends with 0, such as
10, 20, 30.Note: Do not set the THREADCOUNT parameter if you installed WebSphere Commerce Fix Pack 6 or later, or if you installed the interim fix for JR41894. If this fix pack or interim fix is applied, specifying this parameter no longer improves your activity sending performance.
