By default PolMan plugin on Domain Manager is using these 2 parameters for ad-hoc option :
DSM/Software Delivery/Manager/CompEvalTaskDelayActivationTime = 2
DSM/Software Delivery/Manager/CompEvalTaskCompCountLimit = 10
This means that ad-hoc Software Policy are evaluated :
- When 10 machines have reported their inventory within 2 minutes
or
- After 2 minutes (if the limit of 10 machines is not reached).
Example 1 :
10:00:00 - Computer C1 reports its inventory. If there is no "Target Evaluation" Task already, a "Target Evaluation" Task is created for this machine. This Task is scheduled to be evaluated in 2 minutes (10:02:00)
10:00:25 - Computer C2 reports its inventory. It is added in "Target Evaluation" Task (2 computers in the list)
10:02:00 - PolMan executes the evaluation "Target Evaluation" task for the 2 computers
Example 2 :
10:00:00 - Computer C1 reports its inventory. If there is no "Target Evaluation" Task already, a "Target Evaluation" Task is created for this machine. This Task is scheduled to be evaluated in 2 minutes (10:02:00)
10:00:25 - Computer C2 reports its inventory. It is added in "Target Evaluation" Task (2 computers in the list)
10:00:45 - Computers C3 to C10 reports its inventory. They are added in "Target Evaluation" Task (10 computers in the list)
10:00:46 - PolMan executes the evaluation "Target Evaluation" task for the 10 computers
This could generate performance problem on Domain Manager if 2000 computers report their inventory between 12h and 14h for example. This could generate a maximum of 200 "Target Evaluation" Task.
