Costly Operation

Topology synchronization is a costly operation on SAM server and it is recommended to configure topology synchronization judiciously. Performance of SAM topology synchronization is dependent on the factors mentioned in Performance factors of SAM topology synchronization.

Table 1. Performance factors of SAM topology synchronization

Performance factor	Dependency of SAM topology synchronization
Size of topology	Time taken to import topology is directly proportional to size of topology.
Frequency of sync	More frequent syncs increase load on SAM server.
Resources(CPU/memory)	Concurrent topology synchronization works better on a multi core machine.
Network latency	Topology import slows down due to network latency.
