Table 26.23 SMS Inventory Data Loader (Message IDs 2700 to 2720)

Message IDSeverityMessage

2700

Error

SMS Inventory Data Loader failed to read the delta MIF file %1 and will move the file to the BADMIFs directory.

Possible cause: The file is invalid or corrupt.

Solution: Do nothing. The file will be moved to the BADMIFs directory where it will be checked for corruption. Any formatting errors will be logged in Dataldr.log. If there are no formatting errors, there might have been a memory error, in which case the MIF will be retried.

2701

Error

SMS Inventory Data Loader encountered a SQL Server problem and is stopping the MIF processing thread.

Possible cause: SQL Server problem.

Solution:

1. Review the immediately preceding status messages from this component about SQL Server errors.

2. Verify that this computer can reach the SQL Server computer.

3. Verify that SQL Server services are running.

4. Verify that SMS can access the SMS site database.

5. Verify that the SMS site database, transaction log, and tempdb are not full.

6. Verify that there are at least 50 SQL Server user connections, plus 5 for each SMS Administrator console.

If the problem persists, check the SQL Server error logs.

2702

Warning

SMS Inventory Data Loader failed to process the delta MIF file %1 because the file does not have a corresponding discovery record. SMS Inventory Data Loader has moved this file to the Orphans directory as file %2 and will retry processing it within 10 minutes.

Possible cause: The delta MIF file came from an SMS 1.2 site, and these sites do not have discovery agents.

Solution: Verify that the delta MIF file is from a 1.2 site. If so, do nothing.

Possible cause: Discovery Data Manager is not running.

Solution: Stop and restart Discovery Data Manager. You can use SMS Service Manager, which is invoked from the SMS Administrator console, to stop and start components.

2703

Error

2704

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader is updating database statistics for all inventory-related tables. By default, statistics are updated to optimize database performance after a certain number of MIF files have been processed. This message indicates that this milestone has been achieved. You can edit this value in the SMS Administrator console, under Component Configuration, Data Processing and Storage Properties.

2705

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader has finished processing %1 MIF files and is terminating the MIF file processing thread.

Each time the processing cycle completes, SMS Inventory Data Loader generates this message to report the number of MIF files it has processed.

2706

Error

SMS Inventory Data Loader has quit trying to update inventory after failing 10 times. SMS Inventory Data Loader detected that the parent site was changed to a new site, and then SMS Inventory Data Loader tried to send all inventory to the new parent through the inventory update process. However, SMS Inventory Data Loader tried this process 10 times and failed each time.

Solution: Review the immediately preceding status messages from this component for more details.

If you ignore this problem, SMS will probably fix it and complete this operation later. If this error occurs repeatedly, refer to your SMS documentation or the Microsoft Knowledge Base for further troubleshooting information.

2707

Warning

SMS Inventory Data Loader failed to send inventory to the new parent site, but it will retry %1 more times before quitting.

If you want more information, review the immediately preceding status messages from this component, or look in Dadaldr.log. If you ignore this problem, SMS will probably fix it and complete this operation later. If this error occurs repeatedly, refer to your SMS documentation or the Microsoft Knowledge Base for further troubleshooting information.

2708

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader detected that the parent site has changed to a new site, and now SMS Inventory Data Loader is trying to send all inventory to the new parent through the inventory update process.

2709

Informational

The SMS Inventory Data Loader inventory update process has initialized the inventory update status file, which controls the inventory update process’s ability to restart.

2710

Informational

The SMS Inventory Data Loader has detected that the inventory update process has already been completed. Therefore, SMS Inventory Data Loader is not starting the inventory update process. If this information is incorrect, delete the status file Inv_stat.dat to force the inventory update process to restart.

2711

Informational

The SMS Inventory Data Loader inventory update process will use the directory %1. SMS Inventory Data Loader will create delta MIF files in this folder to send to the parent site.

2712

Error

The SMS Inventory Data Loader inventory update process failed to write the MIF file for machine %1 of architecture %2.

Possible cause: Low disk space on the destination disk drive.

Solution: Make more space available on that drive.

Possible cause: SQL Server problem.

Solution:

1. Review the immediately preceding status messages from this component about SQL Server errors.

2. Verify that this computer can reach the SQL Server computer.

3. Verify that SQL Server services are running.

4. Verify that SMS can access the SMS site database.

5. Verify that the SMS site database, transaction log, and tempdb are not full.

6. Verify that there are at least 50 SQL Server user connections, plus 5 for each SMS Administrator console.

If the problem persists, check the SQL Server error logs.

2713

Informational

The SMS Inventory Data Loader inventory update process has finished successfully. All inventory has been sent to the parent site.

2714

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader has requested a resynchronization for site %1. Inventory Data Loader requests resynchronization when it receives an Update or Delete request for a nonexistent group.

2715

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader has detected a resynchronization request for agent %1. When an agent is specified, the resynchronization is planned only for items reported by that agent. A resynchronization indicates that the current MIF file represents all inventory for the current machine. If any inventory is present in the database that does not occur in the MIF file, SMS Inventory Data Loader deletes it (unless, as with an agent resynchronization, it was reported by a different agent). If many resynchronizations occur, it indicates that inventory was lost at some point.

2716

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader is going to widen attribute %2 of group %1 from %3 to %4. SMS Inventory Data Loader has received a MIF file that contains a referenced attribute that exceeds the current maximum length. Inventory Data Loader will attempt to widen the column before it inserts the data.

2717

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader has added group %1 to architecture %2. Inventory Data Loader found a group that it had not found before and successfully added the group to the inventory database.

2718

Informational

SMS Inventory Data Loader has added the architecture %1. SMS Inventory Data Loader found an architecture that it had not found before and successfully added it to the inventory database. A custom MIF file, either from this site or from one beneath it, caused this action.

2719

Error

SMS Inventory Data Loader failed to process the file %1 because it is larger than the defined maximum allowable size of %2.

Solution: Increase the maximum allowable size, which is defined in the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_
LOADER\Max MIF Size (the default is 5 MB), and wait for SMS Inventory Data Loader to retry the operation.

2720

Warning

SMS Inventory Data Loader has detected that a resource with GUID %1 needs to be resynchronized, but the resource will not be resynchronized because the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_
LOADER\Resynchronize Clients on the resource computer has been turned off. Data will not be processed for this resource until it has been resynchronized.

Possible cause: SMS Inventory Data Loader detected a MIF file (from the resource with GUID %1) that contains an update request for data that is not in the SMS site database. Therefore, SMS Inventory Data Loader wants to request a resynchronization, or full MIF file, from that resource.

Solution: On the resource with GUID %1, set the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_
LOADER\Resynchronize Clients to 1 (true).
