It’s like something has gone missing.  The only thing we did before this happened was adding and removing several Automatic tasks.

Appreciate if someone could help us.

Thanks in advance!

Hello there,

Could be that you have a corrupt database type  MXCONFIGREPO -c

at the commandline of your SIM server.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your prompt response.

The database seems to be OK as we can see from the logs

Could this be the reason? Because I did create a new Automatic Event Handling task using XML data that I retrieved from other task. If so, how do I fix this?

Spoiler

One issue that can cause a problem is that if the original Automatic Event
   Handling task was created with event and system criteria information
   specified during the creation of the task rather than using an existing
   event collection, then the query that is created for the original task is
   temporary and only exists while the original task exists. If that same
   event collection is used for the new Automatic Event Handling task, then
   that task can become invalid if the original task is deleted and the event
   collection is then deleted. Another problem is if the XML data retrieved
   from the original task is used to create a new Automatic Event Handling
   task after the original task is deleted. Then, an error of invalid or
   missing XML data is displayed.

Finally!!!

I can't describe how I feel right now. After days banging my head over this!

Turn out one of the automatic event tasks was corrupted.

Removed that task, restarted SIM service and wallah! 

[Andrew_Haak]

Strange but if it works. Are the tasks created under your account? If you use a service account put them under that account. Otherwise the tasks created by the user you delete also get deleted. I use the Autocreate groups for Active Directory groups. So sometimes i delete an account under wich i created a task. The account gets recreted but the tasks i created with that user are gone...

[zarulzakuan]

Well it was probably my mistake as I used CLI to add and remove tasks.
