Are you using SQL 2005 Express?

Do you have a dtrace of the archiving task when this is happening?  I can see one bug that is fixed (or will be) in EV 8 SP 3 where this is logged for messages which were pending archiving but were then cancelled.

Do you need any more info here?
Please mark a post as a solution if it fits your needs.

Cheers

Is there another solution than waiting for the SP3 to come out?

I am still seeing lots of these errors post SP3 upgrade. Very annoying, and causes EV to fall over until the services are manually restarted.

I have these also. I am tryin gto fix this using the ' pending shortcut time-out = o' , then run tha task in report mode.
Not sure if this helsp, but will check monday.

I have been using SP3 for about a week and a half and this error just starting popping up like mad in the past few hours. Did anyone find a fix for this?

There is a hotfix to resolve this

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/339316.htm

The fix is specifically for Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3, Build 1845

I've applied it on our environments that have SP3 installed, and it has resolved this issue.

HI there

i also experienced this isse when upgrading to 8.0 sp3. i applied the hot fix but it didnt fix the issue. im assuming this "pending shortcut time-out = 0" is a reg key. can you tell me where to put it?

Hello KVS,

It is actually a setting in the archivingpolicy
Mailbox policy, tab advanced, somewhere there.
If you set it to 0, apply policy (run provisioning, sync mailboxes) then run task in report mode. (set tick at report, restart task)

Gertjan

We've applied the hotfix as well but am still seeing the 2850's when the stubbing process takes place. We have an open case with Symantec support and so far no solution. Does anyone here know root cause or some possible fixes?

Thanks.

Hi Robert,

do you already have a solution for this problem?

Thanks,
viktor

Hi All,

I do have the same problem even after applying the below hotfix,

http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/339316.htm

I am checking with the Symantec support and the response is not that good.

Regards,
Ameen.

Hi,

yes, it's the same for me. Error occurrs even after applying the hotfix.
It seems to get less after resetting all shortcuts (timeout policy to 0 and archiving task in report mode).

But the errors are still there, even if less.

It would be nice if you could post a solution here.

Thanks.

Viktor

I have the hotfix installed as well and the errors are back with a vengance. It doesnt give me the warm fuzzy's thats for sure. I am going to open a case Monday. In the mean time I will keep checking here to see if anyone post more information.

Hello HonkyTonkHero,

could you already open a ticket at Symantec Support?
Do you have any progress there?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Viktor
