  3. Click on Start Now.
  4. See that the broadcast has not been delivered.
  5. Check the broadcast log and see the error message 'An Internal Error Occurred'.

Cause

This is happening due to the large amount of data present in your Broadcast Object (data source, report, etc). If the report is working in the UI, hence you are trying to send it to several e-mail addresses, which is causing the error message.

Resolution

The broadcast has the .ZIP option, which is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. If you select this option, your broadcast will be delivered even if it has a lot of data either if it is being sent to a large e-mail distribution list.
