Hi,
To update vpu files on the clients from AMS, administrator can run “Update vpu”. But it shows and remains in “Waiting”, nothing happnen. What AMS is waiting? If it should start immediately, where should I look at to narrow down te problem?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

You have to realize that the communication model ADNM uses is by default “POP”. That is, the server doesn’t actually connect to the client(s), but instead the clients periodically connect to the server. The polling time interval can be customized - but by default, it’s 10 minutes.
That is, if you start a client-side task, it will take 5 minutes on average to propagate the job to the client(s). Only after the client picks up the task from the server will its status be changed from Waiting to Processing.
You can also check the last communication time of a given compuetr in the Computer catalog. If a machine’s icon is green, it generally means that it is properly communicating with the server.
Hope this helps,
Vlk
