Morning All,
(Newbie to the list so be gentle with me).
Just a quick question more than anything else. I am currently developing an SMS application for work which allows users to create messages and send them out to either single numbers or multiple numbers etc.
The way I intended this to work was that all messages would be written to a database with columns for number and message content and if the message is scheduled for a certain time the date and time to send.
My question is this, how can I kick off a process which sends these messages through a HTTP form to my SMS gateway at the required time and how can I send in large volumes. There could literally be 000,s of messages to send out.
I have been looking at CFX_HTTP5 which is the same as cfhttp but allows you to send asynchronous requests out and not have to wait for a response to each one before sending the next. Have the system sending up to 30 a second using this system which is not bad.
Has anyone got ideas on how I could speed this up. I am using CFMX 6.1 on Windows 2K and SQL Server 2000 (although I am not an SQL guru by any stretch of the imagination).
Many Thanks
Lee Fortnam
