We've had IBM Director (v5.10) running on our iSeries
partitions for something over a year.  We have the
Director Server running on one partition, and Director
Agent on the others (Agent is incorporated into the
Server for that one partition.)  On all of them, I set
up i5/OS message queue "action plan" events to monitor
some queues for messages and relay them to the sysadmin
staff in e-mail, or for some critical messages, to send
a text message to cell phones.  It worked great, until
it stopped working entirely a couple of weeks ago.  I
can't figure out why it's not working.  I've verified
that all the action plans are still in place, and
configured to run on all the partitions.

I thought it might have something to do with the SMTP
server, or perhaps MSF, but that's not it.  I know this
because I have some threshold action plans that also
send e-mails, and these are continuing to appear as
before, from more than one of the partitions (including
the partition running Director Server.)

Does anyone out there in c.s.i.a.m. have any experience
with Director, and specifically with this kind of problem?

Jonathan, when you say stopped working, just the email part or??  Does
the email use the smtp to send out etc.  If it does see if you can
ping the email server from the I5, if you cannot then I would say
there is the breakpoint.

What stopped working are the actions tied to event filters that are
part of action plans. Specifically, I configured several event
filters to monitor standard i5/OS message queues, and to relay the
messages that arrive at the queues to various users as e-mail. I also
set up another filter to monitor Director events, such as when someone
signs on to Director Console or a console sign-on fails. These events
also send an e-mail. The Director events are successfully sending an
e-mail, but the message queue events are not. The e-mail "action" is
the same, so I know the SMTP router is working.
