A Standard Sender in SMS is designed for site to site communications when you have an existing Parent and Child site infrastructure environment. The communication channel is set and defined by an address where the child site(s) have an address pointing back to the parent server.
There may be times when you may find that the address to the Parent site on your Child site(s) has an “Unknown” address. This is more of an anomaly than a problem because the sites involved still function as expected. This can be verified by looking at the Hman log file as well as by verifying the presence of locks on the SMS default collections on the child site because the child site gets its default collections from its parent.
Note: Child sites obtain collection data from the parent site however they do not receive the actual resource list for the collection from the parent site instead the resources for the collection are resources from their own site. As a result all collections that are created on the child site do not have locks on them since they are created at the child site.
As a rule child sites do not know anything about their parent sites and as a result they cannot resolve the address for the parent. This does not affect performance of your SMS site(s) and can just be ignored unless of course you find Sender or Hman log file errors or are experiencing other issues.
