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.
