I used to use a tool called Agent Tracker to keep track of all the scheduled agents on my servers. It kept an updated list of agents along with the run times, whether it was enabled or not, etc. and logged it all into one database. Very useful tool. However, since upgrading my server to ND6 it doesn’t work (actually crashes the server regularly!) and I get no response from their support and the web site doesn’t even mention ND6 so I’m assuming it’s not supported.
I’d like to find an alternative. Either another tool (but it has to be relatively cheap) or an agent I can write myself. When we first got the tool, we were at version 4.6 and script was limited as to what info it could gather. Is writing my own agent my best bet? (I’m assuming there are better/improved options now for gathering the info with lotuscript, but I haven’t looked much yet.)
What do others do? I have so many agents running I can’t keep track of them easily.
Why dosn’t it work? If it is written in LS or Java it should be run. Do you have source for this agent? What is the error you are getting? I suspect fixing it would be faster than writing it. Although enumerating through all agents and any info about them is very easy too. Check the sandbox - it might have something you can modify to suit your needs.
It’s not an agent, it’s a separate third party product called “Agent Tracker” by a company called Mystic Technologies. Since my last post it appears the company is gone - the website is no longer there and they didn’t respond to my email.
But thanks for responding. I looked over the NotesAgent properties and it looks like most of what I need is there, so I’ll probably try coding my own solution. The NotesAgent is missing a few things I’d really like to know like agent start and stop times, the server it’s set to run on, frequency, etc. I’ll check the sandbox to see what I can find.
