Agent triggered to execute when signing database?

Hi,

I usually need to move new agents from one server to another. After moving, I will sign the agents using Domino Administrator. I noticed that some (not all) of my scheduled agents will be triggered to run when I sign the agents in batches although it is not their scheduled time.

Does anyone know why certain scheduled agents will be automatically triggered to run when I perform database signing? How to sign the database without triggering any agents to run automatically?

Please help because I cannot afford to have my scheduled agents run at any time other than the time scheduled - the agents create duplicated documents!!!

Thanks in advance.

Rgds,

Your best bet is to disable the trigger, sign the agents, and then reset the trigger AFTER the time is what supposed to run. I know its a pain, but that is the only way I have been able to deal with the same situation…

However, you might put a flag field on the documents that stop the agent in its tracks if it has already been run and the next schedule increment has not arrived.
