I 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.
I am a Junior DBA and i have to checks the various jobs on different servers.Please help me with a T-SQL way by which i can check the Job status through a Query.
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.
As a part of DBA, I used to execute various SQL files. Most of the time, it is like a manual effort to execute the files individually.
I am looking to automate the process, like a single click to execute all the .SQL files.
The main hurdle I have is, some files needs to be executed in A1 database, some in B1 database and some other SQL files need to be executed in C1 database. In this scenario, I need to pass the DBName information to the powershell query dynamically.
My design for this requirement is, say each .SQL file need to contain a template like
@DBName = 'your Database name' @Executeon = 'When to execute'
In this case, the powershell first need to read the SQL file and finds the value for @DBName and replace it in the powershell query and execute the SQL files automatically.
Is it feasible ? Or any other alternate easier way to proceed.
SUBSTRING(RIGHT('000000'+CONVERT(varchar,run_time),6),1,2)+':'+SUBSTRING(RIGHT('000000'+CONVERT(varchar,run_time),6),3,2)+':'+SUBSTRING(RIGHT('000000'+CONVERT(varchar,run_time),6),5,2) 'Start Date Time'
Hi all in my project, I need to access SQL job to finish something. But sometimes, the status of SQL Agent is not running, which needs me to check the status first. I am wonder are there some functions or some ways to check the status. If you know, please response me. I appreciate your response !
I got the following message after I tried to start the log reader agent.
"Could not retrieve agent status. (No agent status information is available. (View Log Reader Agent
Status))"
I have tried to delete and recreat the replication, but I still got some message when I tried to start the log reader agent. I have tried to increase the QueryTimeout value as well, it still did not make any difference. I will be greatly appreciated if someone could give me a hint for what to do.
I am using vb.net and the myoledb provider.I've run into a problem where what I need to do is open a databaseconnection to a mysql server, easy. The problem arrises in that I wantto, if the server cannot be found, open from a locally storedencrypted XML file.Works fine when the sever is present, but when I go to open theconnection and the database cannot be found, a dialog box pops up as tofill in the connection string information. I do not want this, is thereany way I can intercept this dialog or skip past it so my try/catchhandles it?Thanks.--Posted via http://dbforums.com
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.
I have a series of jobs in the SQL server Agent that will begin and appear to run fine, but will never finish. Is there a way to limit the time that a job will run in the agent, for instance stop with failure if not completed within 1 hour?
hi, I do have over 30 scheduled jobs in one sql server in which I want to have the same jobs in another sql server. What is the best way to copy those jobs?
I thought of backing up the msdb from one sql server then restoring msdb into another sql server..... someone advice me NOT to do so due to potential compatibility problems that he did not explicitly state.
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.
Hi, I ahve attached the bmp doc that will show my screen snapshot. My SQL server Agent service indicator is not showing green as like other server. I have started the serice and running fine. I don't have any problem running the job. My curious is why that indicator is not showing up. Thanks, Ravi
among our server-agent jobs is one for the log-reader-agent and its run status is displayed as error though the log-reader is working correctly, replication is working fine. it had hit an error some days ago after an unexpected shutdown - but it has been auto-restarted correctly on restart of the sql-server agent. now - what can i do to get back to a sensible run-status report? i have already deleted the job-history with the hope that this might help - but it didn't. should i just stop and restart the job again? can i somehow delete the status in the jobhistory? i would gladly appreciate any ideas because it's making me just mad to have a 'failed' job status on the monitor *g*
i have 70 SQL database servers and i setup DB Mail on the 70 Servers, i want to know is there a way to find the status of all the jobs which i assigned the DB Mail and if its working/failing... is there a script i can run on powershell or SQL to find out that information
I have a SQL cluster which ran out of disk the other day. I threw plenty more disk at the SAN. However, 1 of the databases came back with Recovery Pending and has been over 24 hours. I have tried to backup the database with no success. I don't have a clean backup from the day it occured so would have a good amount of work missing.
Running a dbcc check returns the following:
Msg 945, Level 14, State 2, Line 1
Database 'sqldb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.
I have not tried a dbcc check with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS as there seems to be a high risk of losing whatever was going on. how I can get the db back online?
Hi All, I am not able to see any of the jobs in the enterprise manager that are scheduled on one of our production servers. Have any body seen this type of behaviour of SQL server.. The jobs are there in the SQL as I can query sysjobs table to see there entry.. The jobs are being executed properly when they are supposed to.. Thanks Ajay
Hi Guys, Can you please advice me on if there is a limitation on SQL agent Jobs. If then how many jobs can SQL server accomedate. If there is a limit, then is there are any ways to increase it? I appreciate your quick response. Thanks
I have several users that are a member of a Windows Nt group. I want to be able to allow this group to create, update, and delete SQL Agent Jobs. But I do not want them to be members of the SYSADMIN role. Everything that I have found states that they must be members of this server role to perform these actions. Does anyone have an idea on how to accomplish this? or point me in some kind of direction to explore.
Hello all, we just moved our databases over from a SQL 2000 server onto a new SQL 2005 server. We had no problem migrating them over, but was wondering if there was a way to migrate the jobs over as well. We have about 20 of them and would prefer not to hav to create them all again on the new server.
I've just set up 2 new SQL 7.0 servers, and my new maintenance jobs - backups, optimisations, consistency check jobs etc - are all mysteriously failing. I've created them both with the Maintenance Wizard, and again by hand. I've attempted manual and scheduled runs. All to no avail. Nor do they populate the sysmainthistory table, although they're configured to do so. The mystery is that we have successfully installed some user DTS processes, and THEIR jobs work. In order to resolve the problem, I've:
(1) ensured the Agent service is running;
(2) ensured adequate space on the drive etc;
(3) verified that sqlmaint.exe exists in Mssqlinn;
(4) unchecked the 'attempt to repair minor errors' box (I read this was a known cause of the problem);
I've got some clues to go on, but nothing conclusive;
'sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.'
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
Additionally, both servers hold databases that I imported from another server-INCLUDING the msdb, and BOTH have the same problems and same error messages. This cannot be a coincidence.
Hi all, I've been digging around the last few days, looking for the best way to monitor all the jobs on all my prod servers. Using EM or SSMS is BS. I've been thinking that perhaps the best strategy is to write or modify a script that gathers information from sysjobs and sysjobhistory on all servers and then inserts it into my main DBA database on my "admin" server. Of course this script would have to be on all servers and be in a scheduled job itself. I'm thinking that I should probably categorize every job in the company and break out my reports that way too. I'll probably throw all the data into a cube so I can do some at a glance checks to see that everything is running ok. I'd like to trend run times with the data too.
Anyway as with most fun projects there are many different way to accomplish this. I've hit on one above and I've seen several others. What are some of the solutions you guys have come up with, what have you tried that didn't work so well and what are some pitfalls that I should avoid in setting this up?
Hi Group, Is it possible to schedule and execute sql jobs from an asp page. I am developing an application that requires an administration section. In this section the admin would like to change / update the schedule of the sql job and also run the jobs ad hoc. Basicall y they would like the functionality of sql agen in enterprise manager to be available from their web application.
Has anbody done this before ? All information / solutions shall be psoted back to the group as I reckon this would be pretty useful functionality.
The SQL Server Agent process is running. When I use EM to start a database integrity check job, it fails with an error message of 22029 and the following:
[LOG] SQLServerAgent security context does not have server-autorestart privileges
I can not find error 22029 in Books on Line. I will go to Microsoft Knowledge base and research this problem.
In the mean time if someone can help, it is much appreciated.
I am trying to write a T-SQL script to change about 200 SQL Agent jobs to send notification to a different email notification list. I could do this manually but it would take me a lot more time. Is there a way to script this out in T-SQL? Thanks!
Hello, I need to document all SQL Server Agent Jobs with full description of dependencies - database, table, stored procedure, etc. Is there are a tool that I can download for that particular use???
I have a job with a single ActiveX step that I have setup and am having problems running.
If i set the SQL Server Agent to run as an Administrator then my job processes fine however under the default setup which has the SQL Server Agent running as Local System I get an error.
I assume this is permissions problem so I created a basic windows user called ABC. I then created a credential called ABC linked to the windows user ABC. I then created a proxy that uses the credential ABC and then ticked the box that allows the proxy to run ActiveX scripts. I then set the ABC as a principle of the proxy.
I then set my single job step to be run under the ABC credential.
Still no luck. This is the first time i've worked with this sort of thing so I'm not sure if I'm going about it in the right way.
Please explain how i can have a job that runs as an active X script. I understand running sql server agent as administrator is bad for security so what are the alternatives?
