Two ESD instances for Email and SMS campaign treatments on the same host - QueueDir Destination Folder Issue (Doc ID 1574257.1)

Last updated on JANUARY 03, 2023

Applies to:

Siebel Email Marketing Server - Version 8.0.0.10 SIA [20436] and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
we have two ESD instances for Email and SMS campaign treatments on the same host (EMS 80 [EMS 2020] integrated with Siebel Marketing 8.0.0.10.

ESD has been installed in the following path:
ESD (Email) --> D:\Siebel EMS\esd
ESD (Sms) --> D:\Siebel EMS\esd_sms

We noticed that:
- ESD components does not use the queuedir under the installation folder. ESD creates dataq files in C:\Windows\system32\queueDir
- Both Mail ESD and SMS ESD make use of the same folder C:\Windows\system32\queueDir
- Restarting both ESD (while queuedir is not empty), both ESD components try to process the same dataq files

Our concer is that, due to this behaviour, the two ESD can face some critical-section or deadlock processing the same dataq files.
Can we change the ESD queuedir destination path in order to have a dedicated queuedir folder for each ESD instance?

Doc [ID 1491606.1] shows how to change queue folder for CTD. Is there a similar parameter for ESD?

Symptoms

 - ESD components does not use the queuedir under the installation folder. ESD creates dataq files in C:\Windows\system32\queueDir
- Both Mail ESD and SMS ESD make use of the same folder C:\Windows\system32\queueDir
- Restarting both ESD (while queuedir is not empty), both ESD components try to process the same dataq files
