On a Swarming DMS, in theory it doesn't matter which DMA an element is created on, as you can swarm it to the desired DMA later. But what would be best practice, would it be to try and create them evenly amongst all the DMAs to try and average out the element IDs (or another reason), or does it really not matter?
Hi Dave,
I would say that whether or not swarming is enabled, the best practice is always to spread initial load for these elements across the cluster.
Swarming as a feature is there to help you rebalance that load later on or to free up servers.
If you are referring to the dmaid/eid element keys having the "dmaid" part referring to the agent where the element was originally created: it doesn't matter: The dmaid/eid key is just a pair of two numbers that can be anything. As long as the combination of numbers is unique, all is fine.
Hope this helps
