LO65845: ADMINP MONITOR NEW MAILFILE FIELDS RUNS EVERY MINUTE IF PERSON DOC IS MISSING

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• If a person doc is missing at the time of an adminp Mail Move,
  the "Monitor New Mailfile Fields" adminp request will run
  incessantly in an infinite loop and fills up the admin4.nsf at a
  rate of 3600 adminp requests per day.  Impact is a highly
  inefficient adminp task and overgrown admin4.nsf
  
  Sample Console log message:
  11/30/2011 11:28:09 AM  Admin Process: Received the following
  error performing a Monitor New Mailfile Fields request on User
  Name/Org.  Waiting for new mail fields in User
  Name/Org's person document.  Will try to process this request
  again at 11/30/2011 11:29:09 AM.
  
  A person doc could be missing if it was:
  a.) corrupted and not readable by the adminp task
  b.) accidentally removed by the consistency check (fixup) or
  another user
  c.) intentially removed during the Mail Move Process.
  
  Cust would like to see an adminp code change to a more graceful
  approach.  For example:
  --an email could be sent to the admin to inform of the missing
  person doc with a way to fix it, override this step, or abort
  the entire mail move
  --the code could stop after 5-10 attempts rather than an
  infinite loop.
  --generate some other type of notification if the person doc is
  not detected at the time of processing this request.
  

Local fix

• If the person doc is still needed, reinstate the missing person
  doc and let adminp process this at next request.  Remove all
  duplicate requests.
  
  If the person was intentionally deleted, simply remove the
  duplicates (which could be many thousands) and all other adminp
  reuqests related to mail move for that deleted user.
