local sched agents is enabled in user preferences. But my agent will not run. It ran twice on schedule, then I made a change and it wont run anymore. I re-started client. I deleted cache.ndk. I can run the agent manually. I need this thing to run on schedule. it is not the only agent that wont run. I had tried enabling an agent previously but it wasnt imporant so I ignored the problem. Now I need it to work. Any ideas?
The agent is set to run every 5 minutes. It is in the smtp.box and another database but doesnt run in either.
It is a very simple agent that is supposed to copy a document from mail.box on server to smtp.box on the client. Then delete the document from mail.box.
smpt.box and mail.box are replicas of each other… So even if you know a trick to get the client to replicate these 2 databases that will solve my problem also.
Agent was running. You made a change. Agent no longer works.
Given the above, please consider whether there’s any piece of information that might give a clue why it stopped working.
Also note that you have a log(.nsf) on your local system. When something fails, examining the log can occasionally tell you what went wrong.
My suspicion is that you’re trying to use the UI classes.
What’s your requirement, anyway, that involves moving things from one mail router box to another? Most people would use the mail router for this sort of thing.
when i look at agent properties log. It says it was never run before. So it is not even running to get or log an error.
I know I am doing a wierd thing but I am trying be able to send SMTP email from my base workstation because optonline will not allow SMTP mail from a remote workstation. So I use my laptop to dial into Juno(free). When I reply or send messages it goes to my home server mail.box. Thats when I need my workstation to pick up the email every 5 minutes and move it to its own smtp.box. Then I dont have to purchase an extra dial-up hosting service.
Tips on how to figure out why local agents don’t run are in Agent FAQ - the release 6 version of Troubleshooting agents has more info on local agents specificly. It could a few things, and it goes through the steps on how to figure it out.
Another note of caution is that directly manupulation of xx.box is not supported. especially in the configuration with multuple mailboxes you are likely to run into problems.
Can you tell me where the Agent FAQ is? On-line? help file? I looked hi and low. Thanks.
My server is not running router or smtp so my single mail.box is just a repository for my outbound internet mail from my laptop mail when I am on the road.
If you’re using a web browser, have a look to the right. It’s under “Resources” (beneath “Member Tools”). Open the Forum FAQs, and the Agent FAQ will be listed there.
Masking the .BOX files as .NSF files did the trick. I can now use the local scheduled replication to replicate the .BOX files instead of an agent to transfer the mail from the server to the local smtp.box.
