    You can get the information from agent initiator log. Any specific reason that you want to have this information.

    Hi Ravi.

    Over 80,000 jobs submitted for execution are stuck in the "Waiting for Initiator" status, unable to be assigned to an initiator.

    This has resulted in certain agents being unable to execute the jobs.
    Therefore, we plan to continuously monitor active initiators.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Waiting for initiator is WA Agent issue.  Did you submit 80000 jobs to one agent around the same time?

    Also, are these all long running jobs?

    Hi.

    1 minute interval APP (included 20 JOBs) was not assigned an initiator and was "waiting for  initiator", so it was not executed and continued to pile up and the number of "waiting for initiator" had increased to around 80,000.
    In the end, it was resolved with a cold start.

    In general, I would like to know in what cases an initiator is not allocated.

    Thanks

    So, all your 20 jobs going to the same agent?

    Also, how long do these jobs (not app) normally run for?

    The WA Agent can easily run 1000+ concurrent  (in parallel) jobs at any given time.  Also, are you submitting all your jobs to just one agent?  

    How many agents do you have installed?
