View 1 RepliesHi All,
I have assigned a user permissions to be a db_owner on the msdb database and the user is also part of the following msdb roles:
SQLAgentUserRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentOperatorRole
But I notice that the user can log into the system, but they cannot change the schedule for a job, they can only view it.
I was wondering if there was a way around this without giving the user Sysadmin rights ?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

Hi,
Is there any method that I can use to backup the whole database to another database without using replication? I have to backup it every half year. Can I do something like setting schedule to run to "Database Backup" module in sql server?
Thanks,

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

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.
Thanks in advance,

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???
Thank you so much
I created an agent job, and it runs fine, but I want more control over the scheduling. I need to schedule jobs to run Sunday through
Thursday at 8:00pm, skipping Friday.
How can I use the agent job interface and customize the schedule this way? Will I have to resort to a Windows Service and control the
scheduling that way?
Hi Guys,
I am not sure if this is the right place to put a question on SQL Server Agent.
I have scheduled some SSIS Jobs using the SQL Server Agent, and wanted to know how can I view detailed log information on how the Job ran (particularly Failure Information).
The information in the Log File Viewer to see the job execution log doesnt seem to help much - as it only says weather the Job Failed or Succeeded.
I need to see the reason and/or the step in a job where it failed!
Can someone help me out with some insight into this....
Thanks

I have a few jobs in sql server 2005 agent that got corrupted that Iwould like to restore.
Do they get backed up and how can I restore them?
Hello to all members.
I am using SQL Server 2005 std edition 32 bit
The database is configured in compatibility mode to sql server 2000
The backup mode for the database is configured as simple
With SQL Server Agent I am running schedule task of the backup script
The question is:
I would like to save only the last 7 days in repository.
This means that when the 8th days has become then the 1st day backup is deleted.
in the 9th day the 2nd day backup file is deleted.
and so on
I am using the the T-SQL BACKUP DATABASE command with the following arguments:
RETAINDAYS = 7
NOFORMAT
NOINIT
SKIP
I am in situation that the command above only append to the backup file and without deleting the expired backup days.
What I need to change in the parameters that the script will delete the expired backup days.
Thanking in advance everyone who assist.

It is too much work when working with Database Maintenance Wizard.
lets take a scenario that I have 10 database.
I would like that each database will backup into seperate file.
I need to create 10 * 7 Maintenance plans.
I have created a directory with the name SDBbackup.
Now under the directory SDBbackup I have created 7 directories (1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
Each directory is for Sunday=1 , Monday=2 , and etc.
It's very much work if I need to accomplish it with Database Maintenance Wizard.
This is why I am asking a specific question regarding T-SQL.
Thanking in advance everyone who assist.
Just wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to create a SQL Server agent job that ran once every 30 seconds. I can't enter a value below 1 minute when editing the job schedule in Enterprise Manager.
Alternatively, I can create duplicate stored procedures and set one to run on the minute and one on the half minute. Thought there might be a better alternative to this though and I'll always have to be remembering to makes changes to both sprocs.
Thanks!
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem where nothing seems to be wrong with the server, and SQL Server Agent is up and running, but jobs fail. We had a job run at midnight, and it was the last successful run. Every job failed after that, with an error stating "Unable to retrieve steps for job..." There doesn't seem to be any reason for the problem. The jobs were kicked off manually and they all ran.
The only other error messages we could find were in the Application Event Viewer on the server. But the first error happened days ago and said this: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Unable to open shim database version registry key - v2.0.50727.00000."
Since then, every few seconds this error occurred: "Windows cannot load extensible counter DLL MSSQLServerOLAPService, the first DWORD in data section is the Windows error code."
We turned off the performance monitor counters and that error stopped. But we still have no idea if that was the cause of the problem.
This isn't the first time we've had an issue with jobs failing because the steps couldn't be 'found', while SQL Server Agent was up and running.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!
Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with the sql server agent occasionally not executing its scheduled jobs, and unless the sql server agent is restarted they will not execute according to their schedule. I've read many posts on people having problems with running a package manually and then not being able to run it in a job, although that is not my problem since these are jobs that have all run successfully historically, and only until the agent is restarted do they start working again. It is the strangest thing.....we have many different jobs on this server and all of them will just mysteriously stop being executed. Two other things of note, the agent and server processes both run on AD accounts, and we receive this error:
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'X' - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-10-27 02:00:00 - Message: The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (ADadacct) of job 'X' has server access (reason: Unable to connect to server - check SQL Server and SQL Server Agent errorlogs).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have couple of questions about the scheduler:
I'd like my packages to run only on weekdays and disable a package if one of the first two packages fail. is it possible to do it?
Thanks

Hello All,
My database application has certain stored procedures which are scheduled to run at certain predefined interval (say once everyday). Now to implement this logic I have two options with me, first being to use the EXECUTE SQL TASK of the SSIS package and schedule it using the windows scheduler and the other is to use the SQL Server Agent Jobs and schedule it there itself. Now the current implementation is using the SSIS packages and I even know that the second approach of using the SQL Server Agents Job is better.
The only thing I want to know is whether it makes sense to invest time in converting my SSIS packages (20 in all) to SQL Server Agent jobs or not. Can somebody briefly explain or give some pointers regarding the performance benefits of Agent Jobs over the SSIS packages.
Thanks in Advance

When I give job Id in filter of this query this will give job status of "Success" but actually my job is currently in executing stage. I want to get all jobs that are currently in executing status.
Use msdb
go
select distinct j.Name as "Job Name", --j.job_id,
case j.enabled
when 1 then 'Enable'
when 0 then 'Disable'
[Code] ....
QUick question:
Using T-SQL, How can I change the time of an schedule job?
Hi,
I Scheduled a SSIS package on my Sql Server Agent, when i go to the Job History it says the Job succeded for the time it was scheduled to run, but im noticing the Job does nothing, i mean the Package is running but it's not doing what it is supossed to do.
I know the Package works because when i go to the BI Studio and rightclick>Execute Package it works.
Any help?
In one of my environments, I need to grant the ability to view all the logins and agent jobs to an account, but I don't want to give him "sysadmin" or "securityadmin".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to execute my package using schedule in SQL Server Agent, I've already tested my package by run it manually in Integration services and it works. The table created, the data from my flat file also inserted into the table correctly and the result return with success.
The question is why when I execute my package using SQL Server Agent, the SQL Server Agent keep executing my package like infinite loop until I stop the job. after I stop the job there is no error generated by sql server. Could you figured why this happen?? I've already tried to upgrade into SP2 and set the package protection level and still not get good result from it. thank you.

Anyone knows how to schedule backup of database in SQL server 2005?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi again,
could anyone tell me what to do about this...I'm not a dba but I do need direct access to the sql server such as scheduling new jobs (I can execute them immediately as pkgs or even run them as jobs on my machine, but to schedule I need to go to the server. The NT administrator does not like the idea of anyone else touching his server, so is there any way to circumvent the situation and do the scheduling from my workstation? Someone had mentioned creating an icon on my desktop but I'm not clear on the idea. Thanks a million. I get great help on this website.
In my production server all the jobs are scheduled. but though sa user id sometimes the steps in the jobs are not visible
but it is working, sometime it is visible in the sql server management studio.
do i have to check any settings or change any settings.
I am actually the MOM administrator and only know enough SQL 2005 to keep mom working....sometimes I noticed on my dev mom box that SQL server agent has a lot of jobs configured to run against the mom onepoint database. The production box does not have these jobs. What would be the simplest way to export these jobs so that i can import them on the production box. Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe backup jobs on one of our sql servers started hanging. The job appears to be complete because the backups are on the disk but the job never completes when viewed in the activity manager. sqlmaint.exe had numerous instances running all night long but the job never completes.
sql server 2000 standard edition sp3a
Windows server 2000
The jobs on this server have run successfully for well over a year and just recently they started hanging. We've done everything short of reboot the server. We've restarted the agent, shut down the sqlmaint.exe but alas nothing we do lets the job complete.
Other jobs that are not back up related are working as they should.
There is plenty of disk space.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance because we are lost as to the cause and resolution.
