Set the Batch Size fieldvalue as 10 (default is 100). Batch size specifies the size in which the request is processed by the driver. The batch size displays the number of devices to which Notification interacts in one instant. For example, if there are 100 devices on which a message has to be displayed and a batch size of 10 is entered, Notification will send the message to batches of 10 devices each.
Enter a value in the Expecteddelivery time field (default is 10 seconds). NOTE :Notification does not guarantee the message delivery will be completed within the time entered here. This value is solely used to compute delivery statistics indicating whether message delivery to the External SMS Gateway Provider server was on-time or late. On-time or late displays based on the time taken for Notification to deliver the message to the External SMS Gateway Provider server and not the time taken to deliver the message to the actual recipient.
