Regarding the TA for SCOM, the inputs need to finish before firing again. The performance input is particularly verbose, as the documentation says to expect up to 20 minutes for the performance input to finish collecting data the first time that it is fired.

If any of the inputs for this TA do not finish prior to being called to run again, you will see the error message referenced in the first post of this page. I can say that I have seen the performance input take up to 40 minutes to finish its initial pull of data with subsequent pulls taking up to 20 minutes depending on the amount of data being collected.

Hans
