When Will Scheduled Agents Run Next if the Server Has Been Down?

Category Software Development

Occasionally this question comes up from a client.  I thought I knew the answer, but this helps to confirm it if there's any question.  From the KnowledgeBase...

When Will Scheduled Agents Run Next if the Server Has Been Down?

Document Number:  1100357

Problem
If maintenance needs to be done on a Domino server and the server will be down during times when a scheduled agent is set to run, when will the agent next run after the server comes back up?

Content
AgentManager records an agent's run-times by when it last ran and how often it is supposed to run.  For example, AgentX is scheduled to run every two hours and begins running at 12:00.  It completes at 12:06 and is next scheduled at 2:06.  If an administrator brings the server down at 1:45 and does not bring Domino back up until 2:45, AgentManager will have recorded AgentX as missing its last run-time and will immediately queue the agent.  AgentX will run as soon as the server is up.

Gravatar Image2 - Well... *That* sucks! But good to know! Thanks!
