A Campaign has a scheduler set up to run weekly. The scheduler triggers a recurring delivery and a continuous delivery. How many records are created in the delivery table at the end of 3 weeks?

A recurring delivery is designed to create a new, distinct delivery instance each time its parent workflow is executed. Since the scheduler runs weekly, the recurring delivery will create 3 separate records in the delivery table (nms:delivery) over 3 weeks. Conversely, a continuous delivery creates only a single delivery instance upon its first execution. Subsequent executions by the scheduler do not create new delivery records; they simply add new target populations to the existing delivery. Therefore, the continuous delivery contributes only 1 record to the table. The total number of records is the sum from both delivery types: 3 (from recurring) + 1 (from continuous) = 4.

B. 2: This would be the correct count after only the first week's execution (one recurring and one continuous).
C. 6: This would be the result if both deliveries were recurring, creating two new records each week for three weeks.
D. 3: This incorrectly omits the single, persistent record created by the continuous delivery.

1. Adobe Campaign Classic v7 Documentation, "Recurring delivery": "A recurring delivery is based on a delivery template. For each execution of the workflow, a new delivery is created by duplicating this template." This confirms that a new delivery record is created upon each execution. (Found under Campaign Management > Deliveries > About recurring and continuous deliveries).

2. Adobe Campaign Classic v7 Documentation, "Continuous delivery": "Unlike a recurring delivery, a continuous delivery creates only one delivery instance and the logs are added to this same delivery... For each execution of the workflow, only the delivery analysis and sending are re-executed to take into account new recipients." This confirms only one delivery record is ever created. (Found under Campaign Management > Deliveries > About recurring and continuous deliveries).

3. Adobe Campaign Classic v7 Documentation, "Scheduler": "The Scheduler activity lets you trigger the execution of a workflow according to a defined schedule." This establishes the weekly trigger mechanism that causes the deliveries to be executed three times over the three-week period. (Found under Workflows > Activities > Execution flow activities).
