Velislav Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I recently installed revive ad server and I'm having a problem.I've created a remnant campaign with weight 1 with no limitations. Then I've created 2 contract campaigns. I've tried different options for them. First with total campaign limit, then with daily limit, but the probability for the linked zones for the contract campaigns stays 0%, and for the remnant campaign is 100%. As a result the contract campaigns are not served.Even if I stop the remnant campaign, the contract ones still get 0% probability and are not served...I've tried to search in the forum for similar problem, but with no luck...

andrewatfornax Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Hi @Velislav,Have you see our FAQ on this topic?http://www.revive-adserver.com/faq/troubleshooting-banner-delivery/ Edited November 21, 2015 by andrewatfornax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislav Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Hi @andrewatfornax,Yes, I've checked the FAQ and all of my setting, but with no luck. In the probability tab all the contract campaigns are with 0% probability and the remnant one is with 100%. I've changed the type of the remnant to contract, then it's probability also became 0%.I've changed the type of the contract campaigns to override, so I can deliver them, but it shouldn't be like that.

andrewatfornax Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi @Velislav,I assume that maintenance is running?http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Running+Maintenance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislav Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi @Velislav,I assume that maintenance is running?http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Running+MaintenanceHi @andrewatfornax,Yes, the maintenance is running properly. It is set as a cron job and everything works fine except the contract campaigns' delivery.About an hour ago I've set a new contract campaign and the problem still exists... Now I have only this contract campaign and a remnant one. And again, when I look at the probability tab of the linked zones, it gives me 0% for the contract campaign and 100% for the remnant. I'll wait for several hours to see if something is going to change, but I realy doubt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislav Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi everyone. My problem still exists. I reinstalled revive from scratch, created all my zones (27) and all my active campaigns (4 contract + 1 remnant). All my zones are 620x980px. All my banners in the campaigns are HTML5 banners and I've set the same width and height. My maintenance script works properly. The remnant campaign is showing everywhere normally, but non of the contract campaigns does. As I look through the zones I see that the remnant campaign is with 100% probability and all of the contract campaigns are with 0% probability.

Erik Geurts Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 The items to concentrate on are the contract campaigns. Remnant campaigns don't "take" probabability, the "get" whatever is left after the share for your contract campaigns has been taken. So if there's a problem with the contract campaigns, they get no volume and the remaining impressions (hence the word remnant) go to the Remnant campaigns. You seem to have a contract campaign with 2000 impressions in a period of more than 1 month. It started only today. That comes down to less than 3 impressions per hour on average. It is not unlikely this results in 0% probability on the first day, but this should automatically correct over the course of your contract campaign. In short: be patient! andrewatfornax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislav Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Erik, All of my zones generate about 450 - 500 impressions per day. Those are landing pages for WiFi access points. I have this problem since November. Today I reinstalled Revive with a new database and recreated everything from scratch. I'm going to wait and see if campaigns will start to show. The BACB campaign is set to expire tomorrow with 300 impressions, but it doesn't show either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Geurts Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Reinstalling the same software won't make any difference, I would assume. Your screen shots are too small to be able to see what's going on. How many of those zones with 450-500 impressions do you have? Are these contract campaigns linked to all of those? In other words, what's your total daily volume on all zones where your contract campaigns are supposed to be displayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislav Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 400-500 is the total amount of impressions of the zones all together. All campaigns are linked to all the zones. In fact, they started to show in the last hour, so it seems the problem was solved with the clean reinstall. With the previous version none of the campaigns that I've had for the past six months wanted to show when they were set as contract type - one time I've waited 4-5 days and nothing.

Erik Geurts Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Well sounds to me like you don't have your maintenance process working like it should be then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislav Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well it seemed to work properly... I have a cron job that starts it. I've also tried with the option "Automatically perform maintenance during delivery if scheduled maintenance is not set up" Lets see how it is going to work after the reinstall. I will wait a few days and will monitor it. Then I will write back to share the results. andrewatfornax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
