A long delay occurs when you click "Refresh" to view the latest membership in a dynamic collection on a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 site server


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create lots of dynamic collections on a System Center Configuration Manager Service Pack 2 (SP2) site server by using the query-based rules. For example, you create several thousand of these collections.
  • In the Configuration Manager console, you click Refresh to view the latest membership in a dynamic collection.
In this scenario, the Configuration Manager console requires a long time to display the latest membership. This delay lasts from several minutes to several hours.

Cause

This issue occurs because Collection Evaluator maintains a first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue to handle the collection evaluation requests.

When you click Refresh to view the latest membership of a collection, this request is put at the end of a FIFO queue. If the number of previous requests is very large, Collection Evaluator requires a long time to complete the previous requests. Therefore, a long delay occurs before you view the updated results in the Configuration Manager console.

Resolution

After you install this hotfix, Collection Evaluator prioritizes the queue to give any request from the user interface (UI) a high priority. Therefore, a UI request is handled in a timely manner even if there are many back-end requests in the queue.
