Unable to load agent document: Database is being Compacted

There is a scheduled Java agent in a database. That agent is set to run every 5 mitutes. Compact task is also scheduled in the server, three times a week. Trouble comes when the agent must run at the time when Compact is scheduled:- If the database is being compacted at that time, the next message is shown in console:

07/04/2005 02:05:41 AMgr: Unable to load agent document for ‘’ in ‘<database.nsf>’: Database is being Compacted; Compact must finish before use.

The agent does not run at that time.

  • The agent does not run again any more. Though it is set to run every 5 minutes it does not even try to run again, there is no error in log.nsf; it seems to be somehow “dead”. We notice it next morning.

  • If we disable and enable the agent again it starts to run again every 5 minutes, as usual.

I don’t worry about the agent not running at the very moment the database is being compacted, the problem is that it doesn’t run again.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,Lotus support has confirmed that this issue still occurs on 6.x servers and that there are no plans to fix it.

Compare technote “Scheduled Agent Stops Executing if Compact Is Already Running on the Database”.
