Problem Note 33395: SAS® Marketing Automation broadcasts incorrectly update the response table

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

When SAS Marketing Automation executes a communication that instantiates a SAS® Digital Marketing broadcast, it creates contact history for the subjects being contacted. It also, however, incorrectly updates the response table for the communication.

SAS Marketing Automation automatically utilizes the SAS Digital Marketing "ebtool" command line interface to create the contact history. This call implicitly updates the response table when the ResponseTableBase advanced server property is set.

There are two workarounds for this problem:

  1. Turn off the ResponseTableBase advanced server property in the SAS Digital Marketing server properties. (Select Tools ► Server Configuration ► Advanced Server Properties)
  2. Leave the ResponseTableBase property set, but also set MaxResponseTables to 1. This will ensure that all broadcast responses are saved in a single table.
