In Unica Optimize, you can perform a
test run on a sample of your data so that you can assess the performance of the optimization
session quickly.
Procedure
-
Set the value for Test run sample percent.
- If you are using custom session settings, you can choose the number of customers to be included
in a test run by specifying the value for Test run sample percentage.
- If you are not using custom session settings, you can choose the number of customers to be
included in a test run by specifying the value in the configuration parameter, which is available at
Affinium|Campaign|partitions|partition1|Optimize|TestRun.
-
From the Summary tab of the Unica Optimize
session you want to run, click .
Unica Optimize begins optimizing a subset of
the proposed contact list. The test run sample percent that you selected defines the
subset.
-
Test run of a Optimize session can be executed from Optimize process as well. In
Optimize process box configuration, select Yes ! I want to run the session
now checkbox . When you execute Optimize process box is Test Run, the Optimize
session selected in the Process box will also get executed as Test Run.
- Optional:
In the post-optimization flowchart in Unica Campaign, you can extract the results of a test
run of a Unica Optimize session in the same way
you extract the results of a production run.
Results
On the Analysis tab, go to
Report run field, and the field reflects the
results on the
Unica Optimize session. The
transaction count before and after the test run is available for you to compare. The Analysis tab is
visible to the user after the run is complete.
Note: You cannot schedule a test run or use the
Acoopadmin tool to perform a test run.
In the post-optimization flowchart, extracting the results of a test run of a Unica Optimize session is the same as extracting the results
of a production run. After you click Optimized lists, under Select
ICO session, you can choose the corresponding Unica Optimize session and get the details of the test run.
By selecting an optimized list as input from the Extract table, you can view whether the data in the
OCT is from a production run or a test run. You can use one Extract process box for extracting the
results of a production run of one Unica Optimize
session and another Extract process box for extracting the test run results of the other Unica Optimize session as inputs to a mail list. There are
three values for the run information in an Extract table: production run, test run, or never run.
Never Run is only shown whenever a Unica Optimize
session was created, but has not been run.
