I am trying to copy a job by scripting it out and running the script. I am getting these errors:
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_success_step_id.
and
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
What's up with that?
Is it possible to copy a job onto the same server?
Thanks!

I would like to move over all of my DTS packages and corresponding jobs onto another MS SQL server machine. The problem that I have is that I haven't been able to find any straight-forward info on how to script up these jobs, move them onto another machine and execute them. I have scanned through previous posts written by people with the same problem, but every response is simply "script up the jobs and move them onto another server." Maybe I'm missing something, but how "exactly" do I get a job to show up on this destination machine in EM, in the management/sql server agent/jobs folder. I did the jobs/all tasks/script job... but then what? I saved it on this destination machine, but am unclear as what to do next. The MS SQL Server Administrators companion book is of no help on this subject, and I do not understand how this simple task can be so confusing and is not documented. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Is there any way that I can script out all the jobs at a time (instead of doing one by one). I have mor than 100 jobs to transfer, I was just wondering if there were a way to do all at once.
Thanks.
While attempting to script out some multi-server jobs I am receiving this error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Script failed for Job 'my job name'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
For help, click: <link removed to keep message width to a normal size :)>

This happens on any multi-server job. The reason behind needing to script this is the current database server that acts as our master server for SQL Server jobs is being replaced. I figured it would be easy enough to script out the job on the old server and run it (with minimal modifications) on the new server. Now, if I create any of these jobs manually on the new server and try to script it, it works just fine. Any ideas what might be the issue here?
I've tried doing it via SSMS from multiple servers and the issue persists.
Hi, I've just been given the task of finding out how to implement a backup procedure for our SQL server databases. Most are running 2000, some 2005.
I'm a programmer, and I'm used to having a DBA to help me! I've seen a few methods on the web involving a stored procedure and running the task from task manager.
I need to backup and restore all the databases in SQL Server 2000 and work out a way of displaying whether or not it was successful.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction as I've no idea how to do any of this really. I guess if I could setup a sproc to loop through the databases that would help, but I'm not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance.
I have two servers running SQLserver 7.0. I have a number of jobs that are configured to import files from an AS/400 each day. I do not want to recreate these JOBS on the second server, for it took quite sometime to set up only one. I know that I can set up multi server jobs, but I want these jobs to run independant of the Master server. In other words I just want to move a copy of the job over to the next server.

I was curious if there is any way to "copy" a SQL Job, alert etc. from one server to another. I want to test jobs on a non production server before putting them out on our live Server. I understand you can do the whole Master server thing, but this temp server is often rebuilt for whatever we need.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in Advance.

Hi everybody,
Just want to ask how can I copy a DTS Package? Something like "Save As"...saving a DTS Package to another package name in the same server, or copying a DTS package to another server.
What I am doing right now, is I create the whole package again just to have another copy of it.
Same question with a Job.
Thank you so much. :)
I am trying to copy DTS Packages and Jobs from two different Servers to one new server. I know I can script the jobs, but they won't run without the DTS packages. I have backed up and restored the MSDB database from Server 1 to my Main server and therefore I have all the jobs from that machine. My problem is how do I get the jobs stored in SERVER 2's MSDB over to my main server without replacing the tables I already have thus losing the jobs and packages that I imported? I have thought about backing up Server 2's MSDB then importing to another database,on the MAIN SERVER and then importing with an append to the 'live" msdb, but I believe the table names are the same and I may end up with duplicate entires. I don't know what problem this will cause. Any suggestions will be great. Thanks in advance

Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

SQL 7
I am trying to run a script written for an asp page (pure vbscript) in a active script job. I am getting errors on:
Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Yes, ADO is up to date and loaded. The error says

I know it's a simple question, just can't figure it out:
How do I script a new column into an existing table in SQL? I am using MS SQL 7.0 and need to create several new columns in existing tables.
thanks all.
Does anyone know how to prevent or change the
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
that appear between each Create? I can't see any options for changing then or eliminating them when generating the SQL Script for my stored procedures.
Thanks,
Scott
I have to come up a script that will be going across 60 different servers that will be looking for document type that are not being used across all servers and then deleting them.
To start with:
Select Enabled from MHGROUP.CUSTOM5
where Enabled ='N'
then delete records
and where would I run this type of script or should I say can this be done?
Thanks
Anyone know how to write a script for sql 6.5 that identifies what column is a primary key on a table? (INFORMATION_SCHEMA doesn't exist) Thanks for the help in advance.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat I need to do - can it be done without scripting?
1.) I need to get a list of sp's from a table (EXEC SQL task)
2.) Next, loop through the list of sp's and execute (FOREACHLOOP)
3.) Then, write the output of each sp to a uniquely named file. (DATA FLOW task)
So far, I have had success with 1 and 2. But getting the DATA FLOW task to work has been imposssible thus far.
I tried everything I can think of. I even created a child package that gets called from the FOREACHLOOP, using a Parent Variable Configuration to pass down the name of the stored procedure variable to the child package. No dice.
I am ready to throw in the towel here.
So, my question is, can what I want to do even be DONE without scripting? I was trying to avoid the "manual" approach to this project. It seems like what I want to do "should" be so simple.
In sum, I am simply trying to read a list of sp's from a table, execute the sp's, then write the output of the sp's to a uniquely named file.
Can this be done without scripting? I am beginning to think NOT.
Sigh. This is driving me crazy.
Please, any advice!!
Thanks
Hi Gurus/MVPS:
Can you please share or show me the code for scripting out stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 using SQL Cmd?. I need to perform the following:
1). Script out the text of the stored procedure
2). Output to a sql file (text file) under some directory like C:sql
3). Import the file into the destination db and run it.
The above three need to be automated in a DTS Package. I tried to use the DMO but my source server is a SQL2k5 and so DTS desginer does not let me use the ActiveX with DMO against SQL 2k5. I need to run the first step against a SQL2k5 machine and the second and third on a SQL2k machine.
Please help!!!.
Thanks

I just starting working for a new client this week. They have a custom install program written in VB.NET which installs the database to SQL Server 2000. Normally, when I want to create a SQL script to create a database, I would go into Enterprise Manager, right-click on a database, and select All Tasks | Generate SQL Script. However, that's not how this client works. Much to my horror, the CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, etc. statements are both hard-coded and hand-coded within the install program itself. When I asked them why they weren't using SQL Server's scripting capabilities to automatically generate the script, they said that SQL Server scripting is buggy and that it doesn't work properly. It was hard getting specific details but they said it would leave out indexes, for example. Now, I'm no SQL Server expert, but I've never had a problem using SQL Server's scripting capabilities. The database they use isn't that big - maybe 20-30 tables. So, before I make an issue out of it, I was wondering what everyone else's experience with SQL Server 2000's scripting features? If you've used SQL Servers scripting to recreate a database, does it work? Did you have issues?
View 6 Replies View RelatedCan you write a script that compares table changes. I have a testing database with a bunch of table changes that i need to move to production and instead of handtypeing the changes in I was wondering if there was a method of creating a script.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Just getting into scripting sql. I have a little script that adds and drops a default value for a column. But I cannot get it to run when the column already has a default value specified. If I didn't script the contraint and specify a name I have no name to specify when trying to drop it.
ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT dev1 DEFAULT 1 FOR ns_email_flag
ALTER TABLE users DROP CONSTRAINT dev1
How do I remove any existing default values using script?
TIA,
Seoras.
I am currently running SQL7 sp3 and will be moving the database to SQL2k. I have restored the database without any problems, but have not moved the dts packages. What would be the best solution: script the packages, save the packages to the 2k db, or just build from scratch? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -J-

Does anyone here know anything about the DCS Scripting Language.
A contract vacancy has arisen using this language but I've never heard of it and there does seem to be anything on the internet about it. Can anyone help?
Hi,
Does anyone have scripts that generate the following:
1. All PK
2. All FK
3. All Indexes
Separate from the table DDL.
( EM can generate but with table DDL as well )
