Hi,
That is indeed strange, that 1/1/0001 date indicates that the groups have not been started, or at least haven’t tried to execute yet.
Is the state of the redundant master changing unnecessarily? If you go to Connection>System Status>Redundancy, do you see many system messages about the state changing? You may try increasing your “Inactive Node Timeout” on both systems to at least 15 seconds, if it’s still at the default 5 seconds.
Another thing to look at would be the “Exec Queue Length” and “Avg Group Execution Cost” under Connection>System Status>Statistics. I don’t believe this is coming into play, but it could lead to these symptoms. The “exec queue length” should be zero, and the “avg. group exec cost” should be low, under 50 ms or so. Anything higher than those could indicate problems.
Regards,
