 |  |  |  |  |
When you start too many campaigns at the same time using SAS Marketing Automation Launcher, some campaigns might fail with the following error:
2015-10-08 01:10:48,429 ERROR [CIAsyncExec-8] [] [] om.sas.analytics.crm.ma.launcher.log.Log - 2015-10-08 01:10:48,429: EXCEPTION

The number of concurrent campaigns that can cause the problem is not a set number. That number is based on various factors for your specific system. The problem occurs because of an issue with how the threads are handled in SAS® Customer Intelligence Core.
To work around the problem, start fewer campaigns at the same time with SAS Marketing Automation Launcher.
