hi all, greetings, I have came across a situation where I want to send sms (Text Messages) and mails at a time to thousand’s/lac’s of users. The text may be a security or traffic alerts so its needed that this should be sent at a time so that the users may be able to receive them and make some actions on it. The process I am following is to fetch 100 records and send them sequentially, to fetch record, communicate with sms gateway, get delivery report and save the sms status as sent in database takes near about a second. I want to make this process as fast as to send the sms /mails at time thr the distributed programming, COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME BY REPLYING WITH YOUR VIEWS OR IDEAS OR IF YOU HAVE CODED SAME, THEN SHARING SOME OF THE CODE FOR ME? Thanks In Advance Saurabh P.
