Is there a place where SQL Server logs errors? When I run my Access MDB
against a SQL 7 back end, I get ODBC errors, which are sometimes a little
descriptive, sometimes not at all. I usually have to execute code directly
against the back end to find out what's really going on. And that's if I'm
able to reproduce the error. It would be helpful if SQL logged all errors it
generates, or if something like that can be set up.
Thanks,
Neil
I received this error while trying to view a job's history while using SSMS.
syntax error (ll DB Maint'']) (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
anyone see anything like this? I dropped a database yesterday that was included in the maintenance plan, but forgot to take it out of the plan itself.
Whenever I perform a backup or restore I receive the following message:
"A history record could not be written to msdb.sysbackuphistory..."
What can I do to resolve this error?
The 'view job history' on Enterprise Manager is showing me only 4 or 5 run histories. I want to see more history on each of the jobs.Even I changed the limit to 10000 lones from 1000 lines on the server properties in the job system option, I am still seeing only the last 4 or 5 histories for each job(there are a total of 70 jobs on the server).Any ideas??Thanks.

Anyone tell me why some of my SQL-agent jobs have no history?
Some jobs are reporting history fine, others say "No history"
I have set up a job as sa.After that I changed the sa password.Now I am not able to view the job history since then.Do i need to delete the job and reschedule it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the sql job history. I have a sql 2000 server that was recording all the job history on my sql jobs just fine until the other day. Today I checked the history and the jobs didnt show the past history anymore. Just today's history. So if the job didnt run today there is no history for that particular job. This isn't true, the job was run a few days ago. I know that no one went in and cleard the history on the jobs. What causes this issue, is there a way to not make this happen in the future? Is there a way I can recover the past history for my jobs.
Thanks for your time!! TIA
i have my job running every 5 min. I want to view the history log. In job history it shows only few hundreds of records.. But i want to see from beginning. where to view whole log of job history?

I'm am looking for a smart solution for keeping history of changes in records in my sql database. Not only history of a record but also which user caused the change and when (I have the username in session).
for now I added 4 fields to each table: "created by","created on","cancelled by",cancelled on", when the user create a record the 2 first fields are filled and and a user delete a record the two last fields are filled and the record is not really deleted but it won't be shown again (I'm using "where createdby is null").
this solution is taking the performance down and it does not solve the editing record tracking. creating new records and cancelling old ones for editing/changing solve that but than I m having problems with the primary key and relations to other tables.
I tried also to use a table that holds records that descirbes every change in records in my tables. it's very hard to search old data that way.
I know that oracle databases has a smart solution for history... please someone advise me..

How do I keep th job history of a job, say if I re-create the job?
We recreate the jobs often as part of a code move, but I'd like to retain the history of the previous jobs?
** sp_help_jobhistory -- only shows the jobs that exist, and not old jobs that no longer reside on the server.
Thanks,

Hi,
I want to know where the history of stored procedures stored, I mean yesterday I created one procedure and today I dropped that procedure and recreate it, I checked in sysobjects table name,crdate it shows only the creation date of the procedure. Where can I find the Modification date or something related to procedure history.

Hi
I'm using merge replication between 10 SQL server 7.0 SP2 machines. One central server is the publisher and 9 subscribers. I’ve setup an alert to get a message in case of conflicts. I defined it to trigger everytime the performance counter conflicts/sec rises above 0.
After some experimenting this seems now to work reliable, but there is still one point which bothers me. All conflicts are kept in the conflict history and everytime I get a message through the alert the number of copnflicts stated in the message increases by one.
Also if I open view replication conflicts in EM all conflicts can still be viewed even those I manually resolved. I can't even find a way to seen which conflicts are new ones and which have been resolved already. Does anybody know a way how to reset this numbers without going through all the conflict tables.

In SQL 6.5, when a scheduled job failed, you could see the error message in the history. In SQL 7.0, it simply tells you which was the last step to run. Is there a place which will report the actual error message generated by the task?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have set up a job as sa.After few days I changed the sa password.Now I am not able to view the latest job history since then.It says the last run as 'succeeded',but it is not showing the latest history since the time I changed the password.It still shows the previous history only.Do I need to delete the job and reschedule it?
Thanks!
I feel stupid asking this because I have worked with SQL Server 6.0/6.5 for serveral years now, but I can't seem to find the task history in 7.0. When I look at a task, I can tell if each step ran or not, but I am used to seeing error messages upon failure by right-clicking on the task and choosing history.
How do I find this in 7.0? In casual looking for a few days, I've come up empty.
Thanks.
I heard there is a way to publish the results of SQL 7 jobs to HTML files.

Hi all,
I have several transaction tables on which I need to track the changes. That is I need to maitain
the history of changes. Only few column values are changed often.
Which is the best way for tracking the changes.
1.Store the whole record after the change ?
Or
2.Store the ColumnName & its respective old & new value ?
Or any other better.
Note : UI part & SP's will take care of the tracking & no plans for triggers.
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to build a cube to monitor the sales performance. My measure is the sale amount. My dimensions include 1) Time 2) Sale hierarchy (salesman, sales office, region), and 3) Product Line. The problem I have is that when the salesman move from one office to another, the sales occured before this movement should continue to be credited to the old office. Only sales happen after the movement should be credited to the new office.
How should I implement the cube to achieve this effectively? We have more that 40,000 sales, about 500 offices, in the company to monitor. So I don't think keeping a copy of the sales hierarchy whenever there is a change is feasible.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated!
Thanks.

Is there a way to increase the number of records preserved in jobhistory? I have 82 jobs on my box, 30 of them run every 20 minutesfor 23 hours a day, every 30 days. Another 30 run once, every 30days. The system seems to have a limit of 50 history records for anyjob that hasn't run since yesterday and purges all history records ifthe job is more than a week old. I didn't know if there might be aconfiguration record buried in MSDB or somewhere else that would allowme to increase this size or perhaps a system SP that prunes jobhistory that I could modify.It isn't critical as the system is set to notify me when jobs fail,but still, I'd like to be able to look at a given day and verify thateverything went normally.

Hi All,
When I create snapshots in reports and choose to keep history files, where are these previous files going to be stored physically?
Thanks

I have set the snapsots to unlimited in site settings. what am i doing wrong that is so obvious.

Hi,
Wanted to clarify some doubts about Report History and Snapshot.
1. What is the difference between the snapshot id and history id. Report Snapshots are stored in the report history.
When I call CreateReportHistorySnapshot method programmatically, the method returns a history Id. Is this id different from the snapshot id (report snapshot which is stored in the history). If the id's are different how can I get the snapshot id ?
2. The History id is a date-time stamp of the snapshot. This string is used as a unique identifier for the historical snapshot. It contains the time portion till seconds(not milliseconds). Hence if I generate the next snapshot in the same second it gets overridden.
Is there any way to create more snapshots in the same second ?
Is there any way to change the algorithm used to generate history ids ? eg : Can I use some unique id generator and get history id using this algorithm ?
Thanks in advance,
Does anyone currently do this. I want to store an audit history for changes made in the database through our web application.
I would like some kind of history table structure. I would be interested to see if anyone else has done this and what your structure looks like.
