Hi jai,

every thing is ok…

but problem still there…

This is not my 1 agent problem…

10 sch agents running on this server only after 8AM…

If multiple agents do not run until 8:00 am then the problem is most likely with the server settings, not the agent.

Check the server document: Server Tasks - Agent Manager. Check that the start and end times for night-time are correct, that the max concurrent agents is 1 or greater.

Also - check out the Forum FAQs. Julie Kadashevich’s Agent FAQ is detailed and a great resource for agent problems.

We had a similar problem within the past two weeks. The agent that was causing us problems was on a mail server, scheduled to start at 6AM each morning. Agent was not starting until 8AM.

I noticed that only 2 concurrent agents were available during the nighttime hours and not being an admin. person, I guessed the following was happening. Each night at 1AM the Update Task agent in each mail file was kicking off. Because there were only 2 agent executives, the agent scheduler was filling and getting corrupted and it wasn’t until the switch from nighttime to daytime parameters at 8AM that the agent scheduler was cleared and functioning again. I asked the admin. to set the number on consecutive agents from 2 to 5 and my agent is starting at 6AM like it is supposed to.

Side note: I try to avoid scheduling agents between 1AM and 2:30AM because it seems that Notes kicks off a lot of admin. processes at 1AM – Update design from template, update tasks in mail file, etc.

Hope this helps.
