Hello,

 

We are trying to setup MO in our company and i am running some tests on creating campaign groups and some Optimization scenarios. Since yesterday i am facing an issue where we i execute an optimization scneario it goes into submitted state and never finishes. When i cancel the optimization the below error shows up in  the log. Optimizing scenarios was working fine before yesterday, but i am unable to find what is causing the below issue. 

 

Optimizing scenarios works in the DEV environment which seems to suggest this is more environmental. Any pointers on where to look would be appreciated.

David,

You mention the scenario was working yesterday, was it working in the DEV environment or was it working in the new PROD environment?

Has the campaign group (including the optimization of the scenario) ever completed in DEV, in PROD?

As you know, the key is to figure out what is new and what changed fromt the time when everything was running okay to the time when the problem occurred.

Can you check that you have the same inputs to the optimization in this new scenario compared to the old one? Do you have the same counts comming from the MA campaigns, the same setting for the MA communication nodes, same settings in the Campaign group, are the analytical scores non-empty? Is the offer_cost ALWAY different from zero? IF all of those are the same as before, then please open a tech support track.

Hi Patricia,

 

thanks for your reply. We are currently still in our TEST environment and the solution has not been promoted yet in PROD. The scenario was actiually working in the Test environment and stopped working a couple of days later. 

As this is a test environment the underlying data and scores did not change.

 

The counts from the campaigns and the input data set has not changed. i will verify the cost related values again.

A seg fault like that is an issue that you'll really need to address with technical support; it's very unlikely this is caused by your input data or scenario. Often there are hotfixes or environmental changes that are needed to address that kind of low-level error, and I'm certain they'll be able to help you with that!

That was the quick guess i got from SAS TS, but unfortunately the hotfix is not available for 6.4(our version). SAS TS are still looking at the logs to see if it is data or config related.
