Event sinks stop firing |
|
|
Hi,
Sometimes the async eventsink on a user calendar stops firing.
Deleting and recreating the eventsink item in the calendar fixes the situation.
Windows Server 2003
Exchange server 2003 SP1
Outlook 2003 SP1
no eventlog errors.
Is this a known Exchange server bug?
Any way to troubleshoot this?
thanks,
John

Have the sink output debugstrings to let you know where it is at at all times,
most likely the sink is hanging in a bad section of code.

Thanks for your suggestion Joe. However I don't think that's the case.
The sink simply passes the item url to a com+ dll to do it's thing.
As it is async there is nothing to keep it hanging... the sync is not
waiting for the process to finish.
the com+ component is multi-instance.. even if one instance would hang (and
it that was not an observation), other instances are available to process
the request.
I see this behavior on one out of maybe 10 to 15 exchange servers. reboot
won't help.. after republishing the sink item it will work for a while..
days.. weeks and it's broken again.
maybe it has something to do with one of the outlook client builds.. cached
mode maybe?

We have seen similar behavior with an event sink running in a public
folder. Are you sure this only occurs on specific Exchange servers?
Are there any observable differences between the servers it works on
and those it doesn't? Could you you send me your code? I'd be
interested to see what else we have in commmon.

Hi,
There is no code, only an event registration.
Yes only on some 2003 servers.
For the last week not incidents were reported so maybe Microsoft did a
silent repair already.

I would take a look at the event registration item after it is "broken."
Have any values changed? I've seen this before, but it was due to another
process modifying the item and causing the contentclass to change...
