You can use the AMAdmin_DisableSiteComm Knowledge Script to temporarily disable network communication from a Windows agent computer to the management server and repository. When communication is manually disabled with this Knowledge Script, information about events, data, and job status is stored in the local repository. The information in the local repository is then transferred to the management server when communication is re-enabled with the EnableSiteComm Knowledge Script. As discussed in Section 10.8, Adjusting the Flow of Network Traffic, you can use the AMAdmin_ConfigSiteNetFlowCtrl Knowledge Script to configure the size and frequency of the batches to be transferred when communication is re-enabled.
These Knowledge Scripts allow you to intentionally stop the communication between agent computers and management servers, and by extension, their respective site repositories, at any time. For example, if you are experiencing network problems, you may want to temporarily disable communication while you troubleshoot the problem or if you are experiencing high network activity, you may want to disable communication to store data locally on an agent computer until the demand for server bandwidth is reduced.
For more information about using any of these Knowledge Scripts, double-click the Knowledge Script in the View pane of the Control Center console, select the Values tab, and click Help.
