How SS Handles Messages—Bulk Update Disabled, Stage Check Enabled

When you configure the scalability server to run in the stage check mode, the scalability server handles the messages in the following manner:

1. Scalability server caches the messages that it receives from the agents for a specified period (stage check interval).
2. Scalability server sends the messages to the Installation Manager only when one of the following conditions is met:
   • When the scheduled time to perform the stage check has come, that is, at the completion of the stage check interval
   • When you manually force the stage check to take place by running the stagecheck command (sd_sscmd stagecheck)

     Note: For more information on the sd_sscmd stagecheck command, see the stagecheck section in the Software Delivery CLI Reference Guide.

   However, the scalability server does not send the messages to the Installation Manager in bulk; instead, it sends the individual messages to the Installation Manager one by one.

As the scalability server does not send the messages in bulk, this scenario does not optimize the database updates.
