Missing or empty event monitoring configuration file

You have received a MONMAN trace message on a workstation, similar to this: 
MONMAN:INFO:=== DEPLOY ===> ERROR reading the .zip file 
                /home/f_edwa3/monconf/deployconf.zip. 
                It is empty or does not exist".

Cause and solution:

The IBM Workload Scheduler agent on a workstation monitors for events using a configuration file. This file is created on the event processor, compressed, and sent to the agent. If a switcheventprocessor action is performed between the creation of the file on the old event processor and the receipt on the new event processor of the request for download from the agent, the file is not found on the new event processor, and this message is issued.

To resolve the problem, perform the following steps:
  1. Create a dummy event rule that applies only to the affected workstation.
  2. Perform a planman deploy to send the configuration file.
  3. Monitor the receipt of the file on the agent.
  4. When it is received, delete the dummy rule at the event processor.
