Our main hub server running Windows 2003 Server 64 Bit and Domino 8.5 crashed and was not restarted for a period of 5 hours. When the server was restarted, daily scheduled agents that missed their scheduled run time were not run by Amgr.
Did the behavior of Agent Manager change with Notes 7? I have been under the impression since the early R4 days, that when the server was restarted, Agent Manager rebuilt the schedule and any daily scheduled agents that were not already executed that day would be run.
I did some research and found the new R7 parameter, Amgr_SkipPriorDailyScheduledRuns. If that parameter is set to “1” it will cause agents that are enabled or signed after their scheduled run-time to not run again that day. This parameter has not been set on our server, so I assume that the default behavior of running the agents that were skipped would apply.
I am suspicious that Agent Manger’s behavior changed in R7 with regard to running skipped agents that were missed while the server was down and that it may have changed in relation to the addition of this new Notes.ini parameter. Did Agent Manager’s behavior change regarding skipped agents?
Is there a Notes.ini parameter that will cause Agent Manager to run the agents there were skipped during the downtime?
I need the server to execute all of the daily scheduled agents that were skipped during the downtime.
