Bulk Plan

[JayVal]

Hi :

We have a Bulk plan running against 2300 orders and it took more than 7 hours to complete. We could not figure out why it took so long. Is there any way we can monitor the Progress or Performance of a Bulk Plan ?

Thanks,

Re: Bulk Plan

I think you should check your itineraries . The more specific you define in the itinerary, the more efficient during the bulk plan .

Hi - there is no really straightforward way of monitoring the performance of bulk plan as far as I am aware. One way that I have been able to see what is going on is to look at the log files as the bulk plan is running and identify from that at which stage of the process OTM is currently running.

Having lots of itineraries can affect bulk plan performance, but depending on your data and the optimization problem you are attempting to solve, there could be any number of ways of reducing the time to complete (not least tuning the relevant planning parameters, using the bulk plan partitioning functionality etc). You would need to do some further analysis to identify that.

Hi Jay,

Turn on BulkPlanMilestone and BulkPlanMilestoneDetails in the logs. This will show you what the bulk plan is working on.

Hi Jay,

Were you able to reduce the processing time of you bulk plans? If so what did you change or implement to make the improvement?
