Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Should it take two cf-agent runs before a change on policyhost is implemented on client? Author: sdodier Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,19530,19530#msg-19530
Implementing changes to a cfengine 3 (cf3) client takes two cf-agent runs. ISSUE: In my particular setup of cf3, I am running cf-serverd on my policyhost, and cf-agent in the crontab on the clients. When I run cf-agent on the client, it takes two runs before the change that I've made in my policyhost's repository to be implemented on the cf3 client. The first run completes all promises that are local to the computer running the cf-agent at the same time as it copies the changes from the policyhost's repository. The second run will do the same as the first, but during this second run the changes from my repository are now local to the client running cf-agent, and they are implemented as promised. The point being that if my crontab is set to run hourly, it will take two hours before a change is actually imposed on the client running the cf-agent. QUESTION: Is it normal that it takes two runs before a change is imposed on a cf3 client? If not, how can I make the sync between the policyhost's repository and the client running the cf-agent happen first before the promises are imposed?
