Situation
Weekly scan
of 3000 workstations is taking 5 days to complete the entire cycle
of scanning, loading, and workstations getting checked back in to
the database.
Check the
User Defined Fields that have been created. If there are any
component UDF's with a default value set then each time the
collector runs that data has the potential of changing. Since
that potential exists then the loader must update each component
each time a load takes place which is equivalent to all the
components being loaded each scan. Normally on a subsequent
scan only the delta information will get loaded from scan to
scan unless you have given the component UDF a default value
when created.
You can
verify by doing a subsequent scan of a machine. Once the scan
is completed, data loaded and the workstation checked back in you
can review the Loader log within the Collection Server's \logs
directory. You can browse for 'load duration' and for each
workstation will find a summary of the load.
Resolution
Remove the default value from the User Defined Field
