-eAgent accessed in eAuto via Tools / eAgent:
-Best to set user on eAgent task as Admin as often eAgent task will fail due to user not having sufficient security rights to perform task
-One of our clients provided these scripts (TO BE USED BY YOUR IT DEPT ONLY, please) to help re-set eAgent and/or fix issues:
Fix for time outs:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MTMeterReadings]') AND name = N'IX_MTMeterReadings_MeterReadingGroupID') CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_MTMeterReadings_MeterReadingGroupID] ON [dbo].[MTMeterReadings] ([MeterReadingGroupID],[MeterID])
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MTMeterReadings]') AND name = N'IX_MTMeterReadings_MeterID') CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_MTMeterReadings_MeterID] ON [dbo].[MTMeterReadings] ([MeterID],[IsValid],[Actual]) INCLUDE ([MeterReadingGroupID])
GO
Resets the all to ideal:

Typical Errors / Troubleshooting:
Error: service timed out
Solution: Indicates the server was too busy to run the task. Try changing the time it runs, perhaps after hours when server less busy.
