Run Meter Summarization Tool
Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)
The Run Meter Summarization Tool is one of the Configuration Manager tools. Use it to immediately trigger the maintenance tasks for software metering summarization on primary sites. By default, these tasks run as scheduled in Site Maintenance tasks, which start after 12:00 AM every day.
These tasks summarize the data in the MeterData SQL Server table, and write the summary results into the FileUsageSummary and MonthlyUsageSummary tables. Then you see the summarized result in software metering reports. Any Configuration Manager administrative user who can connect to the primary site database can use this tool to run summarization.
This tool runs the File Usage Summary and Monthly Usage Summary software metering data summarization tasks. It summarizes all existing meter data without the usual 12-hour waiting period. Run it on the SQL Server that hosts the site database. If summarization is successful, the exit code is set to 0. If there was an error, the exit code is 1.

runmetersumm [sms database name] <delay in hours for summarization <default=0>>
