Name:
    AMgr_DisableMailLookup

Syntax
    AMgr_DisableMailLookup=Value

Applies to:
    Workstations and/or Servers

Add-on:

    First Release:

      Obsolete since:

        Category:
          Agent Manager

        Default:
          None. Without this Variable, mail-triggered agents perform mail lookups.

        UI equivalent:
          None

        Description:
        By default, a mail-triggered agent performs a mail lookup of the user who last modified it. It only runs if the server running the agent is also the user's mail server. When users create or modify a mail-triggered agent on a server other than their own mail server, you can use this Variable on the server to disable mail lookup so that the agent can run. Notes displays the message for the user "Unable to determine the execution access privileges" if the mail server cannot be reached.

        Valid values are

        0 - Perform mail lookups when running mail-triggered agents

        1 - Do not perform mail lookups when running mail-triggered agents

        Another example involves clustered mail servers which implement the Notes.ini parameter, AMGR_DISABLEMAILLOOKUP=1. Normally, new mail triggered agents will run only on the agent signer's mail server. This Notes.ini parameter is intended to allow new mail triggered agents to run on servers other than the agent signer's mail server. In clustered server environments, this parameter can be used to effectively process new mail during a server failover event using agents. However, because new mail triggered agents are also triggered to run at agent cache refresh, these agents may actually run against documents which were previously processed.

        In a clustered server situation which implements AMGR_DISABLEMAILLOOKUP=1, new mail will be delivered to only one server (it is then replicated to the clustered servers). Because of this, a new mail event is raised on only the server where the mail was delivered. The new mail triggered agents on this server will process the newly delivered documents. No documents will be processed on the clustered servers. When the agent cache is refreshed at midnight (by default), the agents will then run on every server because the Notes.ini parameter is implemented. On the primary mail server, none of the documents in the database should be new or modified so no documents will be processed. On the clustered servers, all of the documents replicated into the database are new documents since the last time the agent ran (midnight the previous day). These documents will now be processed by the new mail triggered agents.

        Can be set via Server/Configuration

        Additional Information:

        Without this setting, mail-triggered agents perform mail lookups.
