The AMAdmin_ConfigSiteNetFlowCtrl Knowledge Script helps you manage network bandwidth and control the transfer of data from agent computers to the management server to suit your network capacity and make data transfers more efficient. With this Knowledge Script, you can restrict the amount of data the NetIQ Corporation AppManager Client Communication Manager sends at any one time and the frequency with which data is transferred by defining upper and lower bandwidth limits for the size of message batches transferred.
For example, assume you define a high watermark of 100 KB, a low watermark of 2 KB, and a communication interval of one hour (3600 seconds). With this configuration, the Client Communication Manager sends up to 100 KB of data per hour to the management server until the data waiting to be transferred falls below 2 KB. The Client Communication Manager then stores the data in the local repository. At the next interval, if the data to be transferred is greater than 2 KB, NetIQccm resumes sending the data to the management server. If the data package is still below 2 KB, Client Communication Manager continues to store the data in the local repository until the next interval.
The AMAdmin_ConfigSiteNetFlowCtrl Knowledge Script also provides dynamic tuning to allow the Client Communication Manager to respond to load changes on the management server. With dynamic tuning, each time the Client Communication Manager connects to transfer data, it checks the management server’s current load. If the management server is busy and load has increased, the Client Communication Manager reduces the data sent and increases the communication interval. The Client Communication Manager continues to reduce the data sent until the amount of data falls below the low watermark or until the load on the management server decreases.
