Sage KnowledgeSync - Tips for Sage CRM

Optimizing Sage KnowledgeSync
Performance
Welcome to week #6 of the
KnowledgeSync Educational Bulletin for Business Partners
and clients who are using Sage KnowledgeSync with the
SalesLogix CRM application.
This week's question:
I know that KnowledgeSync keeps track of the "triggered
items" for each event. My concern is that over time,
won't an event's triggered items grow larger and larger
eventually impacting KnowledgeSync's performance?
Answer:
The "triggered items" for an event CAN grow (and impact
performance) but it doesn't have to. The key to
determining this is in the design of your query's
filters.
Let's say you have an Order Confirmation event that runs
hourly and KnowledgeSync keeps track of the "order ID"
of each processed order. If you process 100 orders a
day, that's 36,500 triggered records just for that event
after one year.
BUT - if you add a filter to the query that says "order
date equals today's date", all of the triggered items
for one day are automatically removed by KnowledgeSync
the next day. The number of triggered items for this
event will never be greater than the number of orders
placed during a single day.
Even better - there is a date substitution variable
called "Last Date/Time Event Checked" in KnowledgeSync,
and if you compare an order's date to the value in this
variable, the triggered items for the event will be
wiped clean each and every time the event runs.
So, if you see KnowledgeSync start to use up more
processor resources than it used to (or than you'd like
it to), check out your queries and optimize their
filters so that the query has to store as few triggered
item records as possible. You'll see the difference!
If you have any questions about tracking triggered items
or how to optimize your KnowledgeSync queries, please
