Configuring Wave Batch Size Parameter

Certain Communication Server parameters and Marketing Server component parameters affect the performance of eMarketing campaigns. The first of these parameters is the Wave Batch Size parameter in the Marketing Server component. This parameter effectively, but not directly, specifies the number of communication server requests that will be spawned for every wave. If the number of people in a wave is 1000 and the Wave Batch Size is set to 50, then 20 communication server requests are spawned. Depending on the SMTP server being used, a higher number of communication server requests can speed up the execution of the eMarketing campaign. The Max Tasks parameter in the communication server component however sets the limit on the number of such requests that can be spawned at one time. For details about setting up Communication Server parameters, see Siebel Communications Server Administration Guide.
