Possible AMGR bug, all scheduled agents are running twice

Starting this week, our Domino 8.5 server appears to be running all scheduled agents twice, right after each other.

I first started seeing replication conflicts in one database that has daily agents run. I also noticed that another database that sends out a mailing using a scheduled agent ran twice. The agent appeared to run almost simultaneously. Everyone got two emails… All these agents and databases have been working without issues for the past 10 years or more (yes, most of the base code was written in 1998…) Nothing changed from last week, the agents were not touched. The design was not changed, the server had nothing changed.

The server was restarted over the weekend after a power issue in the data center. Will try a restart tonight to see if that fixes it.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Could it be possible for two agent managers to be running at the same time?

Subject: Duplicate database?

I have heard such reports when a copy of the database was created unintentionally, so there are two different applications as far as the agent manager is concerned. It is easy to tell by looking at schedule queue at the serverconsole:

tell amgr sched

If you will see a double entry for each agent, look to see if you have two databases on disk.

Subject: No, it seems like it was more than the one database

There were issues with multiple databases doing the same thing. A server restart fixed the issue.
