You can also supersede the default settings by adjusting the batch settings for each task before sending it.

HPDM Agent settings
There are two parameters in the HPDM Agent settings that affect HPDM performance:
• Delay Scope—After it is started, the HPDM Agent sends a startup report at a randomly chosen time between 0 and the
chosen Delay Scope. If there are a large amount of devices starting within a short time slot (for example, 10,000 devices
that all start within two minutes), configuring a longer Delay Scope prevents those startup reports from reaching the
HPDM Server in a short period of time and reduces the network pressure.
• Pull Interval—Pull Interval is the frequency at which the HPDM Agent sends startup reports to the HPDM Gateway to get
tasks. There is no need to enable this function for non-NAT environments, because the HPDM Gateway can connect to the
HPDM Agent directly to send tasks. If you are managing a large amount of devices and have to enable HPDM Agent
pulling, pay attention to the value of the Pull Interval.
It takes approximately thirty minutes to for 50,000 devices to report to the HPDM Server.
