Hence, I have started a search for a local developer to help out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431099211909015904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28087510.post-29770085343317995282008-08-25T13:17:00.000+01:002008-08-25T13:17:00.000+01:00Michael:Tom Tague from Calais here. First – Great!...Michael:<BR/><BR/>Tom Tague from Calais here. <BR/><BR/>First – Great! We love it when people think up ways to experiment with getting end user value out of Calais. Best of luck in your experiments. <BR/><BR/>Second – you are going to find some limitations with the Pipes implementation of Calais. Pipes is a great framework – but it puts some pretty onerous limits on how long a Pipes process can work. Basically – taking in a lengthy RSS feed requires that our Pipes connector go fetch the original content, run it through the Calais system and return the results to you. And Pipes does this serially for each item in the feed.<BR/><BR/>The net result is sometimes timeouts by Pipes – which can be frustrating.<BR/><BR/>If you want to do some high performance testing the best way is to hook up with a developer and use the Calais web service itself. This can easily handle many (many) thousands of transactions and give you results quite quickly.<BR/><BR/>As a back off position you may want to take a look at some of the other tools you can find in the Calais gallery at www.opencalais.com - in particular there are some batch submission tools that may do the trick for you.<BR/><BR/>RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
