Checking Job Status Using SQL-DMO
Jun 27, 2004I have a question I hope someone can help me with.
My situation:
I have a single-step job in SQL Server, which runs a stored procedure, A. This stored procedure invokes another stored procedure, B. In B, one of the statements is a 'BACKUP DATABASE' command, and a database is backed up to a file.
The job is started by an application. Once started, the application then uses the SQL-DMO property CurrentRunStatus to periodically check the status of the job. When the property returns the value SQLDMOJobExecution_Idle (indicating the job has completed), the application code then continues processing, and attempts to access the .dat file produced by the 'BACKUP DATABASE' command.
My problem:
On occasion, the application will hit the problem where either the backup file cannot be located, or the file is still being locked by another process (Error=The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process).
Is anyone able to shed some light on this?
I assume that the job will only return a completed status after:
(a) both A and B have completed execution, and
(b) the BACKUP operation has completed
Is it possible that even though SQL Server indicates the job has finished, that the BACKUP operation still hasn't completely ended?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

How can i check the job status using SQL Query?
Checking Replication Job Status Programatically
Nov 7, 2001Does anyone know how to check when a distribution job has finished
distributing a snapshot programatically?
I am writing an app that adds subscribers programatically. It first add the subscription (which creates a new snapshot) and after the snapshot is done, the distributor gets invoked automatically. Because I need to access the subscriber database after the publication is pushed I need to wait until
the distributor has finished its work.
Any help would be greatly apreciated! Thanks.

Checking Linked Server Status
Oct 26, 2007Is there a quick way to determine linked server availability. I've got some select statements wrapped up in TRY/Catch blocks which will re-direct any failures to retreive data from a linked server to the catch block and I can get my data from elsewhere, but I have to wait for the statement to fail before I can jump into the catch block. I hoped to speed the process up by using an if exists check on the status of the linked server . Is there such a thing as a quick check on whether or not a linked server is online?

Status Field In Management - Jobs
Apr 20, 2007I am trying get the status field from the list of jobs in management. I have a activex script that queries system tables to find out if a job has failed and sends the report via e-mail.
Currently I use this query to get the names of jobs failed...
SELECT
name
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs A, msdb.dbo.sysjobservers B WHERE A.job_id = B.job_id AND B.last_run_outcome = 0
ORDER BY name
I need to add some criteria around the status field to get the appropriate results.
anybody?

Fetching Jobs Last Run Status Using Bat File?
Aug 12, 2015I wrote a bat file to start a sql job using dos command
osql -S “[SQL SERVER NAME]” -E -Q”exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job ‘[SQL JOB NAME]'”
[URL]
now this bat file only start the job, does not wait for it completion or send us the success or failure message.Now i want to check the value of LastRunStatus for this job using BAT file?? Is is possible to fetch the LastRunStatus of sql job using bat file.However i have achieved the same using vbscript that starts a job using vbscript start method and then looping through al the jobs at server and displaying the LastRunStatus. However i wanted to achieve this uisng bat file only.

SQL Server 2005 Start Jobs Window And Job Activity Monitor Do Not Show Job Status Correcly
Mar 14, 2007Hi,
We have development and user acceptance (UA) servers. When I start a job on the development server, on the management studio, Start Jobs window and Job activity windows indicate "Executing" until the end of the job and finish with "success" or "failure"
But on the UA server, second after I start a job, Start Jobs window comes up with "success" or failure" and Job activity monitor says "idle" but Job continues to log without any error message and updates the tables. So these two windows are not reliable at all. I have to add that I have only job operator rights on the UA server.
Does anybody know what the reason is ?
Thanks
Query Within Query - Checking For Multiple Fields
Jun 9, 2008Hi,
I remember seeing a fancy query that checked for multiple fields in a table (I think using a select statement in the where clause but not sure), but can't remember how to do it... here is what I want to do (and maybe there is a much easier way). Thanks!
Table1
id item color
1 shoe red
2 shoe blue
3 coat green
4 coat black
Table2
item color
shoe red
coat green
I want everything in Table1 where item and color are not a match.
So my results should be:
2 shoe blue
4 coat black
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question... it's been that kind of a day!
Thanks!
Checking The Efficiency Of Query?
Feb 21, 2015Suppose I have two tables(Customer and Order) which are as follows:
Code:
Customer
customer_id
first_name
[Code]....
Another thing I am concerned about is that in the line INNER JOIN Order ON Customer.customer_id = Order.customer_id , I have written Customer.customer_id on the left hand side. Is that correct or I should write it on the right hand side of the equal sign?
Checking Whether Record ID Exists In Another Query
Jan 10, 2014I'm trying to check which price grids are in use using the price grid_id, and seeing whether this grid_id exists in another query that checks all active contracts. If the grid_id is present (active) I want to return 'Yes', if not I want it to return 'No'.
There are 385 price grids, but my query is only returning the 315 that are active, and ignoring any that are not used. My code is below, how I can see all the records whether Yes or No:
Select distinct
pg.grid_id [Price Grid],
pg.grid_name [Grid Name],
case when exists
(Select
c.grid_id from
customers c
inner join deltickhdr dh on dh.acct = c.custnum and dh.stage <5
where
c.type = 'C' and
dh.dticket is not null) then 'Yes' else 'No' end [Active]
From gridhdr pg inner join customers c on c.grid_id = pg.grid_id
Order by pg.grid_id
Query Notification - Checking Permissions
Jul 17, 2007Hi all,
I am looking at replacing a polled system with Query Notification. However when I create the SqlDependency I need to be sure I have the correct permissions. I check the SqlClientPermissions via the Demand() method, but also want to ensure I have the correct DB permission given my current connection string. As I understand it I need to have the following permissions:
CREATE PROCEDURE, QUEUE, and SERVICE permissions
SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS
SELECT on underlying tables
RECEIVE on QueryNotificationErrorsQueue
I check most of these via the 'has_perms_by_name' function, but cannot find the correct syntax to check for RECEIVE on QueryNotificationErrorsQueue. I would also love to find a way to do this via SMO instead of issuing SQl commands. Also am I missing any checks ....
Finally, I have also run into the problem whereby SQL issues the following error:
The activated proc [dbo].[SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-1fd90369-7781-4bad-a1b7-e1b56e328374] running on queue ImlHostDB.dbo.SqlQueryNotificationService-1fd90369-7781-4bad-a1b7-e1b56e328374 output the following: 'Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'EMEADyerN', error code 0x54b.'
I ran into this issue when I bought my machine out of sleep mode with it no longer connected to the network. Is their no way to get a error notification. In this situation I will just stop seeing notification and without looing at the ErrorLog believe their is nothing wrong.
Many Thanks, Nick

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow To Query The Progress Status Of A Database Restore
Apr 23, 2007Hi,
we have a reporting database that needs to be refreshed every week. I normally get a big backup file (50GB) from our business partner very Sunday morning; I have setup a job to restore the database once I got the backup file. The restore job normally will take about 4 or 5 hours to finish, but sometime it may take much longer (more than 10 hours). We knew there is some kind of disk storage contention going on the SAN. When this problem happens the system guy always try to pick my db restore process to be the victim. I hate to kill a job when it has 90% done, but I have no way to tell the restore progress status. Does someone know if I can query database restore progress information from any DMVs?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Data Access :: Recordset Returned By Query Have A Status Of Closed?
Oct 8, 2015I'm running the following SQL query from LabVIEW, a graphical programming language, using the built in capabilities it has for database connectivity:
DECLARE @currentID int
SET @currentID = (SELECT MIN(ExperimentID) FROM Jobs_t WHERE JobStatus = 'ToRun');
UPDATE [dbo].[Jobs_t]
SET [JobStatus] = 'Pending'
WHERE ExperimentID = @currentID;
SELECT @currentID AS result
<main.img>
This is the analogous code to main() is a C-like language. The first block, which has the "Connection Information" wire going into it, opens a .udl file and creates an ADO.NET _Connection reference, which is later used to invoke methods for the query.
<execute query.img>
This is the inside of the second block, the one with "EXE" and the pink wire going into it. The boxes with the gray border operate much like "switch" statements. The wire going into the "?" terminal on these boxes determines which case gets executed. The yellow boxes with white rectangels dropping down are invoke nodes and property nodes; they accept a reference to an object and allow you to invoke methods and read/write properties of that object. You can see the _Recordset object here as well. <fetch recordset.img>
Here's the next block to be executed, the one whose icon reads "FETCH ALL". We see that the first thing to execute on the far left grabs some properties of the recordset, and returns them in a "struct" (the pink wire that goes into the box that reads "state"). This is where the code fails. The recordset opened in the previous VI (virtual instrument) has a status of "closed", and the purple variant (seen under "Read all the data available") comes back empty.
The rest of the code is fairly irrelevant, as it's just converting the received variant into usable data, and freeing the recordset reference opened previously. My question is, why would the status from the query of the recordset be "closed"? I realize that recordsets are "closed" when the query returns no rows, but executing that query in SSMS returns good data. Also, executing the LabVIEW code does the UPDATE in the query, so I know that's not broken either.
Query/Report For 'Owner' Of All SQL Jobs

Query Notification - Subscription Created But Not Firing Service Broker Endpoint In Status SO
Mar 12, 2007Hi,
SQL Server 2005 SP1. (+ 5 minutes fix installed).
Query notification subscription cretaed (sys.dm_qn_subscriptions).
Subscription does not fire in response to event.
sys.transmission_queue is empty.
profiler does not show errors.
sys.conversation_endpoints shows one endpoint in status SO. (along with a lot of left over garbage - about 300K records - but this should not be a problem other than storage).
I know SP2 is suppose to solve the garbage records problem but this is not our problem. This setup was working and then just stoped.
any ideas ?

Data Conversion Failed. The Data Conversion For Column Value Returned Status Value 4 And Status Text Text Was Truncated Or On
Jan 7, 2008Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.
