How to Read the Tally Intervals for a Configuration Manager Site

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you can read the available tally intervals for a site by inspecting the site control file SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER object Summary_Intervals embedded property list.

You use tally intervals for querying component (SMS_ComponentSummarizer) and site detail (SMS_SiteDetailSummarizer) summarizer classes. For more information, see About Configuration Manager Status Summarizers.

To read the tally intervals for a site

1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.

2. Perform a query for the site's SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER property lists

3. In the results from step two, search for the Summary_Intervals embedded property list.

4. Display the contents of the embedded property list.

Example

The following example method returns a SMS_TaskSequence object after importing it from the supplied XML.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub ShowSiteTallyIntervals(connection, siteCode)

    Dim SCIComponent              'SMS_SCI_Component class
    Dim SCIComponentSet         'Enumeration of SMS_SCI_Component
    Dim query 
    Dim i 
    Dim vProperty                     'Embedded property
    
       
    query = "SELECT PropLists FROM SMS_SCI_Component " & _
            "WHERE ComponentName = 'SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER' " & _
            "AND SiteCode = '" + siteCode + "'"
    
    ' You do not need to get a copy of the site control file just to read it.
    Set SCIComponentSet = connection.ExecQuery(query)

    ' The query returns only one instance.
    For Each SCIComponent In SCIComponentSet
        For Each vProperty In SCIComponent.PropLists
            If vProperty.PropertyListName = "Summary_Intervals" Then
                For i = 0 To UBound(vProperty.Values)
                    WScript.Echo vProperty.Values(i) 
                Next
            End If
        Next
    Next
 End Sub

public void ShowSiteTallyIntervals(WqlConnectionManager connection, string siteCode)
{
    try
    {
        // Query for the site's site control file SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER property lists.
        IResultObject query = 
            connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery("SELECT PropLists FROM SMS_SCI_Component " +
            "WHERE ComponentName = 'SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER' " +
            "AND SiteCode = '" + siteCode + "'");


        foreach (IResultObject r in query)
        {
            // Get the summary intervals and display them.
          if (r.EmbeddedPropertyLists.ContainsKey("Summary_Intervals"))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(r.EmbeddedPropertyLists["Summary_Intervals"]["PropertyListName"].StringValue);
                foreach (string value in r.EmbeddedPropertyLists["Summary_Intervals"]["Values"].StringArrayValue)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(value);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Not found");
                return;
            }
        }
    }
    catch (SmsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to tally intervals: " + e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}
