  • Customer Journey Analytics
  • Analysis Workspace
  • Scheduled Projects

Issue/Symptoms

A scheduled Analysis Workspace project is not delivered as a PDF or CSV file.

You might observe one or more of the following symptoms:

  • The schedule is active, but the file is not delivered.
  • Other scheduled projects are delivered normally.
  • Manually exporting the same project also fails.
  • An error such as This report is too complex or a reporting-capacity error appears.

Cause

The project might be too large or complex to export within the available processing time.

Common factors include:

  • Too many panels, visualizations, table rows, or columns
  • A long date range
  • Too many metrics, breakdowns, or segments
  • Complex segment criteria
  • High reporting activity during peak periods

The values under Choose Help > Performance are recommended thresholds, not hard limits. Exceeding a threshold indicates that the project should be optimized.

Resolution resolution

Reduce the size and complexity of the project:

  • Shorten the date range.
  • Remove unnecessary panels, visualizations, tables, metrics, breakdowns, and segments.
  • Reduce the number of rows and columns in freeform tables.
  • Simplify complex segments.
  • Split the project into smaller projects and schedule them separately.
  • Stagger scheduled delivery times to reduce reporting-capacity contention.

To review the project, open it and choose Help > Performance.

If the issue continues, choose Components > Scheduled projects and verify the following:

  • The schedule is not marked Failed or Expired.
  • The expiration date has not passed.
  • The recipient list is correct.
  • The project owner’s account is active.

If further investigation is required, contact Adobe Support and provide the project name, Schedule ID, and the performance report downloaded from Choose Help > Performance.
