Hello,

I have two domino servers one is S1 and another is S2.My one schedule agent A is only run on S1.

I have put my agent A on S2 as well but it should run once the S1 is down/not responding/A is disable on S1.

Please help…

I have deployed A1 agent on both cluster server S1 and S2.Now we are unable to change the “Run On” server i.e. once I change it as S2 on S2 server agent it automatically reflect as the same on S1.

Please help.

You should create two separate agents, one runs on S1 and the other runs on S2.

Put the main processing code into a script library and have each of the agents (S1, S2) call it.

The S1 agent would just call the script.

In the S2 agent, add some code before it call the script where you check to see if S1 is available (this could be something like attempting to open the database using the S1 server and file path) and only call the script if S1 is not available.

Many thanks Martha for your help.

I created two separate agents on both S1 & S2 and also main code in script library.

Current Issue:

In agent property “Run On” of S1 server should be “S1” and same as “Run On” of S2 server should be “S2”. But when I change one agent property on “S1” it automatically change in another server(S2) and vice versa.

Is this issue related to Replication setting ?

Are they completely different agents? If so, that is odd. Make sure that you (or whatever ID you are using to sign the agents) is authorized to run agents on S2 and that S2 has an agent manager task running.

You may need to discuss with your administrator.

Thanks again Martha for you response !!

No both agents are totally same and also signed by same(admin) ID.

You want two different agents (1) so they can have different settings, and (2) so that the S2 agent can “fail” early and exit if S2 can call any Notes method on S1. Only the common code (in the script library) should be the same.

Thanks, Stan.

They must be two completely different agents, I thought I specified that.
