SCCM 2007: Software Distribution: Numbers os retries
- Hello
I've configured "Software Distribution" Properties
Number of retries:5
Delay before retrying: 30
But, when I distribute SW to a offline DP, always continue with the process (I can see it in distrmgr.log). Never stop....Always is trying to distribute the SW to the Offline DP
Why?? It should be try 1 time each 30 min (5 times).......

- You should see the number of retries in distmgr.log. Has it already reached 5? Or what does the log say?
- Number of retries:5
Delay before retrying: 1
SCCM 2007 R2 SP2
I can see...
....
Failed to process package D000059F after 3 retries, will retry 2 more times
Failed to process package D000059F after 4 retries, will retry 1 more times
....
Failed to process package D000059F after 5 retries, no more retries.
But after, the process start again...
Failed to process package D000059F after 0 retries, will retry 5 more times....
....
....
Also if I configure Delay before retrying: 60, SCCM doesn't wait 60 min to retry again...
SCCM try to retry very fast....(Delay before retrying doesn't work....) - with SCCM 2007 R2 SP1 it works fine...
- I'm checking into that ...
- Tell me something as soon as possible......
Very thanks !!!!!
Carlos I've repeated the situation
Number of retries:5
Delay before retrying: 1
1) I've installed SCCM 2007 R2 SP1. I've create a DP. I've put offline the DP and after I've sent a package. After of 5 retries (1 minute *5) , the package status is "Failed" and "Distmgr.log" is inactive. (OK)
2) I've upgraded with SCCM 2007 SP2. I've create a DP. I've put offline the DP and after I've sent a package. After of 5 retries (10 sec *%), the process start again. "Distmgr.log" is always active....(NO GOOD)
I think that this situation is very very important, because the site server is consuming network and CPU resources all time. Also, if you want to send a package to another online DPs, the time of sending is major, because the site is busy checking if it can send the package to the offline DP....
I've surprised !!!! SP2 was released 2 weeks ago......
Any ideas???Any ideas???
Open a call at Microsoft if it's urgent. I was also able to reproduce the issue. The issue can only be seen if a DP is offline or cannot be reached, so you won't see it in a "standard situation".- Proposed As Answer byAbhishek.JoshiMVPSaturday, November 07, 2009 7:37 AM
- when your pkg completes all retries please check for below registry key ? and also check the same registry key when it is restarting again.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER\Retry History \<package ID> and see value name Number of Retries
Also navigate to below registry path and observe the the packages ID (which are restarting again even after the completion of retrying cycle) is residing in a "value data" or not .
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER\ Package Processing Queue
please put your observation here.
Meanwhile you can raise the case with Microsoft too.

2) I'll reproduce the problem and I'll check these registry keys...I'll send you the results in a couple of hours....
Thanks
Carlos Hello again....
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER\Retry History\A0000003"
The "Number of Retries" value changes....(1,2,3,4,5) (1,2,3,4,5)"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER\"
The "Package Processing Queue" value is <A0000003><2>
Thanks
Carlos- Thanks.
Is this Dps' are under Central site, primary site, secondary site?
Run this comand on your SQL box and see the o/p and check whether database values are matching to the registry values.
select
* from v_PackageStatusDetailSumm
If values are not matching then see is there any inbox backlogs
Abhishek Joshi http://blogcastrepository.com/blogs/abi/default.aspx http://blogcastrepository.com/members/Abhishek.aspx - Yes, the values are matching...
- Ok let's wait for CSS to answers...

Abhishek Joshi http://blogcastrepository.com/blogs/abi/default.aspx http://blogcastrepository.com/members/Abhishek.aspx Sorry...
