Job Status MIFs Cause Overhead on Central Site

ID: Q140389

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SUMMARY

On a central site with 20,000 inventoried machines, if you send 2 mandatory jobs to all machines set to run the same night, in a period of a few hours, close to 40,000 job status mifs are forwarded to the central site.

This chokes the central site. It takes the dataloader days to catch up, causing inventory and events to be delayed. The extra overhead of the despooler receiving the packages, and dataloader and site reporter processing the mifs would cause the site to slow down.

MORE INFORMATION

Distribute the packages from the central site, but connect the UI to each second tier site to send the job to all machines in that site and its children. With the central site no longer the originating site for the workstation jobs, job overhead is distributed to the second tier sites.
