John, Are you able to dissect the SQL that is causing the SMS feed to take so long? What is the escalation doing? Use you escalation to set a flag, then you can use a Filter to do the work for you. Maybe you are asking the escalation server to do too much for work you?

We currently have Oracle feeding employee information into our 6.3 to a view form and then an escalation runs and pushes this information to a regular form to be processed. This has been working great but we have added another push to feed SMS asset and software into 6.3 also by a view form and another escalation. During the SMS load the escalation took over four days to run in which no other escalation ran. I'm looking for another way to get the information in with out using an escalation.
