Problem

Timeout waiting for remote agent:


Solution

Restart the Remote Agent

The remote agent is installed on one of your servers and runs as a windows service. The windows service name is called DBRemoteAgent or DBRemoteClient. You will have to login into the server and restart the service.

You will have to log on to the server that has Remote Agent installed. Go To Start->Administrative tools-> Services. Find DBRemoteAgent/DBRemoteClient, select and restart the service.

Once restarted you may need to delete the existing profile/job if it is in pending status and run it again.


Optional: 

Schedule Batch file to restart remote agent through Windows Task Scheduler

Batch File commands:

taskkill /f /fi "services eq DBRemoteClient"

net stop DBRemoteClient

net start DBRemoteClient
