ibill cmi still not recording transactions
 

These are either the worst days of the year for me, I've experience a sudden drop in sales, I am experiencing 100% rebill loss,

or

the CMI is not recording transactions..

Why do I believe its the latter, is anyone else still experiencing this?

I don't think I'll process through ibill when I start my site.

I've said it once and I'll say it again... I'm so glad I dont use Ibill

Its the CMI that is halting. Transactions are going through fine.

according to the front page of the cmi, there are simply lagging.

yesterday's sales were as strong as ever for me...

Sign up emails are received correctly only CMI do not show correct stats due replication problems.

i emailed them, heres a quote


"

Currently the CMI reporting is behing schedule because of replication issues. Everthing should be caught up by the afternoon of July 12, 2003. I apologize for the inconvenience.


"

So around what time EST? Still not showing any signups

0 for me too :mad:

iBill is really messed up right now.

good thing i switched processor.

You know, no one should have to explain this to you idiots, but iBill can't seem to communicate with its webmasters so I'll take the liberty of explaining a very simple concept:

iBill has a MASTER database that accepts and proccesses transactions.

In order to keep the load on the master db low and quick, they replicate this database to a separate "stats" (CMI) server (or servers) so that webmasters, etc check their stats against this "backup" database.

If the transaction load is too high. it can take a while for the replication to take place. Transactions are still being processesed in real-time on the master server. Eventually they'll be replicated to the CMI database and show up in the stats.

DON'T FUCKING WORRY ABOUT IT!

Yes, iBill should really solve this problem, but it may not be easy - maybe they can't upgrade the master DB machine or easily modify the network structure to increase throughput.

[FWIW: I do not work for iBill or know anything about their data structure, but this is a very simple concept to understand. Most (if not all) processors, large affiliate programs, etc have this very same setup]

I found this....
