Hi Johan,

Have a look at the customagent example module in the partner area on the knowledge center.

The documentationexplains how to implement your own agent and also how to test it with the builder.

Adding a self-defined agent Posted by switch_jraedemaeker (Raedemaeker, Johan) on 02/28/2002 05:39 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to add a self-defined agent to LL.
It seems not to work
1. Orphaned the Agents object. fEnabled = true and fAgentID [A custom ID)
2. I also have a record for this agent in the AgentSchedule table.

It seems the agents gets not registered.

Are there any instructions available how to do this?

Thanks in Advance

Maybe you forgot to put the "$AgentRoots = { @$AgentRoots, this }" line in the root:statup script to register your agent on initializing the services.Hope this helps.Alvaro

I created a customagent in 9.1.3 per Hans Stoop's excellent example. It runs well in Builder environment and used to work well in Livelink. However, although all its values look to be valid in the AgentSchedule table, the NextTime and LastTime values dont get updated when the 5 minute agent runs. Other agents are being updated. I configured it to run every 5 minutes but havent been able to kick start it.Ever seen this?Thanks, Mark

I have noticed that when you test the agent with builder and then later into production unless the NextTime is futuristic in time it will not start for some reason.For eg if your nexttime stays at 6/14/2005 5.00 am there is really no trigger happening for your agent when livelink looks in the agentschedule table.So update the value to a more currenttime and give it a try.update agentschedule set nexttime=(select sysdate+(1/24)from dual) where schedid= and agentid=The above statement I think is Oracle specific and adds one hour more to the nexttime fieldPlease undertand that schedid is the unique primary key here and don't where your clauses based on agentid and try it on a test sytemIf this is not the problem then write out a log file with your execute and see if gets created.

Thanks for the feedback.

I resolved the situation by uninstalling the module containing the agent (it deletes the agen on its way out), then reinstalling it using the service. Reinstalling had the effect of re- initialising the date fields in synch with the thread that processes the registered agents.

update agentschedule set nexttime=(select sysdate+(1/24)from dual) where schedid=<mystuck agent schedid> and agentid=<myagentid>
The above statement I think is Oracle specific and adds one hour more to the nexttime field
Please undertand that schedid is the unique primary key here and don't where your clauses based on agentid and try it on a test sytem
