Event Generators don't work after 6.5.6 FP3 to 7.03FP1 upgrade

I have several event generators defined in my Domino R6.5.6FP3 environment. I have customized them pretty extensively and have relied on them for quite some time. Many of the event handlers simply log a message to statrep.nsf, but we have a few that generate a message to our admin group.

I put two test servers in our production domain and changed the replica ID of our NAB to test the upgrade from R6.5.6FP3 to 7.03FP1.

These servers are in a cluster and I started by upgrading only one of these servers to 7.03FP1.

After the upgrade, I replaced the design of events4.nsf with that of the R7 events4.ntf.

I verified that the design is inheriting it’s design from the R7 version of the template and there were design changes (the new DDM configuration shows up).

The design replaced events4.nsf replicated to the 2nd cluster mate server which is still R6.5.6FP3.

Now, none of the event generators are working on the R7 server, but they still work fine on the R6.5.6 server.

One of the easiest ones to test is the “Task Status” event generator.

It generates an email when the following tasks are either shutdown or started up

Admin Process

Calendar Connector

Replicator

Router

Schedule Manager

Statistics Collector

If I shutdown replicator for example on the R7 server nothing happens. When I do the same thing on the R6.5.6 server, I see the router automatically generate a message to the mail server where are admins mailboxes are located…which is the way it has always worked and what I expect. The message simply states that the task has is no longer running.

Any idea why this does not work in R7?

The event monitor and statistics collector tasks are both running.

Actually a reboot, after the first time the ddm.nsf was generated and I enabled a few DDM probes seems to have fixed the issue.

The one thing I notice though is that on the R6.5 servers, these notifications are generated instantly after the task is shut down or restarted, whereas on the R7 server it takes a couple of minutes to generate the notification.

I’m just wondering if all of the other event generators are working.
