Original KB number:   4498259

Symptoms

You integrate Upgrade Readiness with Configuration Manager to access client upgrade compatibility data in Configuration Manager. In this scenario, you may notice that Upgrade Readiness data is downloaded continuously. This causes many ConfigMgr.OMSUpgradeAnalytics_{date code}.OMS files to be added to the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\hman.box\CFD

Also, the following entry is logged in DMPDownloader.log:

OMSUpgradeAnalyticsDownload finished~~
OMSUA: Updating LastSyncedTime registry value
OMS Upgrade Analytics Download interval is: every 0 minutes

Cause

The initial download interval of Upgrade Readiness data is set by the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DMP_DOWNLOADER\OMSUpgradeAnalyticsDownloadInterval

By default, this registry value is set to 10080 minutes (7 days). However, the download interval automatically decreases when the SMS_DMP_DOWNLOADER thread runs. When the interval reaches zero (0), Upgrade Readiness data is downloaded continuously.

Resolution

To fix this issue, update to Configuration Manager current branch version 1902.

Workaround

To work around this issue without updating, make sure that the following registry value is set to 10080:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DMP_DOWNLOADER\OMSUpgradeAnalyticsDownloadInterval

Then, restart the SMS_Executive service or the SMS_DMP_DOWNLOADER thread.
