DB Engine :: Maintenance Plan Runs Twice When Its Scheduled To Run Once
Nov 10, 2015
I have one maintenance plan for full backup to run at midnight daily, but somehow it runs another one at 11:40PM which I don't have plan for it. I can see it happened twice by opening job history. They all use same maintenance plan.
The only difference, I can see is in the message, one is "The job succeeded. The job was invoked by Schedule 112(Daily Backup.subplan_1)", the one I did not expect has message "The job succeeded.
The job was invoked by user sa". How to find this job that invoked by user sa and delete it? Again I can only see one job for full backup , but I can see it happened twice from view job history.

I have a query. Here are the steps:
1. I created a maintenance plan using Visual Studio 2013 (nothing fancy pretty basic)
2. Using ssms 2014 I imported it (the dtsx file) under the Integration Services and it appeared there successfully
3. I connected to the Database Engine again using ssms 2014 - my expectation was to see it under the Management > Maintenance Plans folder but it was not present.

Hello,
I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
Thanks.

I have created a package that takes a Visual FoxPro .dbf and imports into SQL7. If I run the job, it works fine. If I schedule the job it fails stating that I can't find the .dbf, the same one that it just found when run manually. What gives?

Hello,
I have scheduled job that are scheduled to run every 2 hours.
Its exec stored procedures. Normal execution time is up to 10 min.
But recently job not running successfully, it’s just executes forever. So I had to kill that job and I run it manually.
Please help,
I have no idea why it stops executing on its own by the schedule.
Thank you,

I have a Local DTS Package that I created that runs fine. I have scheduled it to run daily but it errors out when run it from the agent. This is an excerpt of the error from the Job history.
Delete from Table [Intranet].[dbo].[Employees] Step, Error = -2147217887 (80040E21)
This Local DTS Package, deletes the records in the file and reimports the data from an AS400 file that is recreated for me daily.
The only thing that has occured to me so far is that perhaps the SQL Agent Service Account needs permission to delete the records. (I'm using NT Security).
Am I on the right track or do you think it's something else?

I've mined countless threads all over the Net where people are having my problem, but none of the solutions I've seen seem to apply.
When I run a DTS package from Enterprise Manager, everything works great. When I schedule the same package as a job, it fails immediately and reports this error:
Executed as user: SERVER-NAMESYSTEM. DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147221005 (800401F3); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: Invalid class string Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts80.hlp Help context: 713. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
My hunch is the SERVER-NAMESYSTEM.DTSRun account doesn't have sufficient privileges, but I can't find how/where to fix that.
Help, please.
Thanks,
Doug

Hello Experts,
I found some similar threads and guides but they didn€™t help me with my special problem.
I converted a dts package (built in SQL 2000) to SQL 2005. Right now it€™s a legacy package.
(I tried the Tool Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components to open the package. It€™s going well)
I would like to build a scheduled job which runs this dts package.
In SQL 2000 you can right click on the package and create the job.
SQL created string like this:
Dtsrun ASDFHJKSF56A4DFSLAKDHFJKS65646ASDFHSF (very long sting, it€™s the ID of the dts package)
How can I make something like this in SQL 2005?
Where I can get the ID of a dts package from?
Best Regards,
Alex
p.s.
- I red the thread from Jamie Thomason and will directly mark as answer after I get a answer
- of cource I will delete my thread too if I overlooked a thread with the same issue

I have an SSIS package created from a SQL 2000 DTS using the Migration Wizard. The package imports data from a MySQL database to a SQL 2005 64-bit database running on 64-bit windows server 2003. The package runs fine when executed from SQL Server Management Studio but when I schedule it as a job it fails with:
Executed as user: [the domain admin account]. The package execution failed. The step failed.
I've tried a lot of different ways to make this work including creating a new SSIS package. Again, the package ran fine except when it was scheduled as a job.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks!

I have a 7 step SSIS package that manipulates some data on a DB2 database. The package executes perfectly in Business Intelligence Development Studio. I save the package to my SSIS store and then point my scheduled task to it and it fails after about 9 seconds everytime. I have an identical job that works with a different DB2 database that works without any problem. The only difference is the database it's pointing to.
The package is executing as the same user who created it, which has sysadmin to both the SSIS store and the SQL instance the package is executing on. When I saved the package I selected "Rely on server storage roles for access control" for the protection level.
This one is driving me crazy, can't figure it out. Any idea's?

I was facing some issue on MP. Yesterday I changed the SQL services to use the local admin account. That didn't help my MP issue. But it may have created another issue.
When I run the package manually/locally it runs fine. But the scheduled job run and fails with the Title string.

Hi,
I have a package designed as bring data tables over to SQL Server. There are 9 data flow tasks that runs parallel, to bring 9 datatables over. In BIDS, when I execute the package, it runs like 8 minutes. Or if I start the scheduled job manually, it runs around 8 minutes too. But it runs about 30 minutes at the scheduled time at midnight.
I wonder what I can do to speed up the scheduled job.
Thanks

I've created a SSIS package that calls the access dll and fires off 2003 access reports, saves them as PDF's and emails them off.
Now this works fine when I run it manually, but when I schedule and fire off a job I get a very vague error "exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
I have copied the access dll to the GAC and .net framework v2.0.50727 but still no luck.
I'm using Bull zip PDF printer and those DLL's are also in the GAC

I have a job scheduled that imports a table from a Oracle database. The job runs at 3am and reports success. But for some reason when i query the table to see how many records there are, I see the same row count as the day before (it should increase everyday- student enrollment). When i execute the package manually, the table updates fine.

I have performed several restores due to poor equipment(in the past where I used to work, now I have a brand new HP); this database has never crashed. I read an article in which the guy said a good DBA should be doing a test restore at least once a month. I see where that would be extremely important since i test my ups weekly, and my genset once a week, why not ensure that the data is good also.
OK, HOW?

I have deleted a database from SQL Enterprise Manager. Anyone know a way to clear that database from my maintenance plan? I do not wish to just uncheck the deleted database or create a new database plan.

Hello All
I have been given a SQL Server 2000 database to look after which has been set up with a Database maintenance plan. The plan is set to backup the complete database and the transaction log. The backups are written to the local disk correctly but the plan is also set to remove any backup files (both database .BAK and transaction log .TRN) that are over one week old. Complete database .BAK files are written daily and the .TRN are written every hour daily. The .BAK files are removed ok automatically but the .TRN files are not - they are just slowly filling the disk. There does not seen to be anything different between the way the main database and the transaction log is set up in the maintenance plan.
I would be very grateful for any ideas

I have a strange thing in one of our Maintenance plans.
On the first tab where you check which databases you're including in the plan I have (say my database name is CAT) a 'CAT' and 'cat' database listed and the one chosen is 'cat'. However my database in all other views shows up in all caps. (even when I do an sp_helpdb)
The backups look like they're working, etc. but it just seems weird. If I go to create a new plan it only gives me the one option 'CAT' which is really what's there. I'm new and I'm thinking the database at one time was 'cat' and this is when the maintenance plan was created. Then it was renamed to 'CAT' and there's the two db's showing in the old mainenance plan.
What would you do? Create a new plan with "CAT" and just get rid of the old one with the weird 'cat' and 'CAT'?
Any other suggestions or ideas on what happened..

hi everyone..
this is a little bit weird ..
i am trying to make a backup strategy. i am using sql2005.
when i go to maintenance plan. right click >> new maintenance plan...
nothing happens..
if i go with the maintenance plan wizard everything goes normally.
after doing the backup, if i right click on it and press
modify , nothing happens too.
what i mean by nothing happens is that it doesn't open the "design view".
the back up is doing normally.. but i need to set a range of 5 days before overwriting the oldest backup.
any idea what is going on or what am i missing?!
thank you

Windows Server 2003R2 w/ Sp2
SQL 2005 w/ Sp2
Created weekly (full backup) and a daily (differential backup) Maintenance Plans using the wizard. I formatted the server, installed the OS and SQL. Restored the full backup (No Recovery Mode), then restored the differential backup (Recovery Mode), tested and all worked well.
Then I noticed the original Maintenace Plans I created (Full and Differential) were gone; makes sense as I had formatted the server.
Is there a way to create a Maintenance Plan file or script that I can save and just add back to the server??
Hope that makes sense.
Any help appreciated.

Hello 2 all,
Could someone advise and/or correct me with my thoughts on how I would do my db maintenance plans?
(db's on SQL2000 as 'full' model)
Backups:
1) Daily Transaction log backups scheduled frequently enough.
2) Full Backup scheduled daily. Good way to start I presume ;)
Maintenance: Would be scheduled daily if possible, on non-production hours and if not colliding with daily full BU schedule.
3) Full DB reorg data&indexes.
4) Update Query Optimizer Stats (although 'Auto Update Stats' is on)
5) Shrink the logfile (ldf) as I presume this will have grown due to previous maintenance jobs.
6) If 5 ok, alter ldf filesize back to new allocated size.
Rgds,
T.

Hi folks.
Our products are VB6-based interacting with MSDE2000 i.e. none of our clients have EM. We have auto-backups performed twice a day by default and we encourage people to keep it to a least 2 per day.
Yesterday, one of our clients reported a problem. Upon investigation, I did a DBCC CheckDB WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS which returned the following:
Object ID 1461580245, forward row page (1:159), slot 50 points to page (1:234), slot 43. Did not encounter forward row. Possible allocation error.
So after reading a lot of posts and blogs from Paul Randal, I proceeded cautiously to copy the DB then perform a DBCC CheckDB REPAIR_REBUILD which had no effect, then a DBCC CheckDB REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS which also had no effect. Then, I determined which table was at fault via DBCC CheckTable and I exported its data to a blank table where I discovered the missing data row and corrected for it manually. End of story.
Not a funny situation. The worst part is that this defect may have been there for a very long time, meaning that restoring the latest backup would not have helped the situation. I now realize that relying on backups alone is a huge no-no.
So, having been scarred into reality, I would like to install an automated maintenance plan. I'm used to doing it on my personal station using EM but, as stated above, I can't do that for the clientele. I was thinking about simply shrinking the databases and then doing a DBCC CheckDB WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS on all of them before performing a backup. Would this be a complete enough procedure or should I be doing something else? My understanding is that this will verify index structure and data integrity, and not attempt to repair anything which is uncovered.
Any thoughts of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if there were any best practices for creating maintenance plans?
Im just getting started into the DBA world and have been delegated the task of creating maintenance plans for our 8 SQL servers.
Right now, our backup policy is Fulls on Saturday, differentials Monday-Friday.
Also, since im new, if you defragment the database and rebuild the index, does that have the possibility of "breaking" anything?
Just looking for some good articles, or anything to get me started on best practices.
Much appreciated.

I am relatively new to SQL Server 2005. I have gone ahead and created a maintenance plan which backs up all our databases. This plan is scheduled to run every night. The problem is that each time the plan runs, new backup files are created which quickly uses up valuable disk space.
How do I set up SQL Server 2005 to only create one set of backup files and overwrite any existing files when the maintenance plan is run? I tried playing with the "backup set will expire" settings, this did not seem to do anything.....
Thanks

I have a SQL 2000 server that has a small but very important database (about 5GB). The current maintenance plan does trans logs every hour and full every day. Currently they are to file on the same drive array. I would like to send them to a share on another server just to be really safe.
Would it be better to
1. Redirect the maintenance plan so that trans logs and backups go directly to the share
or
2. Keep the maintenance plan back ups to the current location and write a script that runs every hour and copies the .bak files to the share.
Also, since the database is so small should I just do full backups every hour instead of transaction?

I am performing the following scheduled database checks every night on all SQL databases after the backup:
SQLMAINT.EXE -D DBSpscb -CkDB -CkAl -CkTxtAl -CkCat -UpdSts -Rpt S:LOGSSQLDAT~1(Check)DBSpscb.rpt
I check over 60 databases but this one fails every night with no history message at all, yet the log indicates that it was successful:
SQLMAINT.EXE Process Exit Code: 0 (Success)
If I manually run the scheduled task again, the log is identical and it indicates as successful in SQL Enterprise Manager.
Any clues as to what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks & Regards,

In the Enterprise Manager of SQL Server 2000 I have set up a maintenance plan which rebuilds my indexes. I've stuided the documentation, and from what I've learned what happens behind the curtain is that several DBCC REINDEX commands are being issued.
Question:
If I have 20 tables and 40 indexes: Will SQL Server do the maintance plan in 1 single transaction, or will it divide the it up to eg. 20 or 40 transactions?
