How to Determine When Management Pack Deployment Is Complete

  • Article

Applies To: System Center Service Manager 2010 SP1

Because you need to allow enough time for the management pack deployment process to be completed, you will have to determine when that process is complete. You can use the following procedure in System Center Service Manager 2010 to determine when the process is complete.

To determine when management pack deployment has completed

  1. Start the Service Manager console.

  2. In the Service Manager console, select Data Warehouse.

  3. In the Data Warehouse pane, expand Data Warehouse, and then click Data Warehouse Jobs.

  4. In the Data Warehouse Jobs pane, click MPSyncJob.

  5. In the Tasks pane, under Synchronization, click Details.

  6. In the MP Sync Job dialog box, scroll to the right and examine the Status column.

    Note

    In the MP Sync Job dialog box, click Status to alphabetically sort the status column.

  7. Scroll through the Status list. The management pack deployment process is complete when Associated or Imported is listed in the status column for all of the management packs. Make sure that there is no status of either Pending Association or Failed in the status list. In the Data Warehouse Jobs pane, the status of the MPSyncJob will have changed from Running to Not Started. This deployment process can take up to two hours to complete.

  8. To refresh the MP Sync Job dialog box:

    1. Press OK to close the dialog box.

    2. In the Tasks pane, in the Data Warehouse Jobs area, click Refresh.

    3. In the Data Warehouse Jobs pane, click MPSyncJobs.

    4. In the Tasks pane, under Synchronization, click Details.

  9. After the management packs have been deployed (as determined in step 7), make sure that the following 5 data warehouse jobs are displayed in the Data Warehouse Jobs pane:

    • Extract_<Service Manager management group name>

    • Extract_<data warehouse management group name>

    • Load.Common

    • Transform.Common

    • MPSyncJob

    Note

    If these 5 data warehouse jobs are not displayed, perform the following procedure:

    1. In the Data Warehouse Jobs pane, click MPSyncJob.

    2. In the Tasks pane, under Synchronization, click Resume.

    3. Assess if management pack deployment has completed by returning to step 4 above.
