I use the database maintenance planner to create maintenance
jobs. One of the jobs which gets created is the optimizations
job.
Can the optimization job run while the database is in use by
users?
It seems like it would be best if the database was not in use
by users.
Maybe a follow on question would be should the database
being optimized be put in "dbo mode only", etc.?
Thanks!!
I have set a job to run hourly between 8 am and 8 pm. I mark the schedule as enabled and mark the job as enabled. It will run for that day and then the enable check on the schedule clears out. I have several other jobs that run without this problem. Has anyone heard of this before and can this be effectively monitored?
thanks, mary
Hi,
Can anybody give me the steps to schedule Database backup and restores in 7.0?
I can do the backup and restores of the database without scheduling. I dont know how to do with scheduling.
Thanks in advnace.
I've created a task which monitors the server, I want it to run every 30 sec.
But the scheduler in job allows to run at the most only 1 min. Is it the way to make it 30 sec?
Thanks.

Does anyone know how to schedule a DTS job to collect data from another database?
cheers!
Can I use SQL Server Agent schedule to start my.exe?
I am not sure in command that I have to place in "Edit Job Steps" DialogBox.
It's not working just with path.
Hello all,
I am trying to schedule DTS package. Seems like I have two options
1. Save DTS package as a File and Run it using dtsrun function
2. Save DTS package on server and use scheduling wizard
If I use method #1 it works fine but you have ti create job, schedule it
and yada, yada, yada.....
Method #2 seems mach more simple but then I use it it does nothind.
Am I missing something?
Thank you an advance.

I'm having a little trouble getting a DTS package to run as a scheduled event. I have created the same one(an export to Access db on the same computer) as a local package and a repository package. Both will run normally when I start them manually from the DTS screen, but they will not run from the scheduler. It seems like this might be some kind of permissions problem, but it could easily be something else, since I've never used DTS before.
Thanks
I created a DTS to transfer two tables from one server to another and set up a schedule to run once everyday. I could not get it to run. I got this warning message from evetlog:

But when I execute it manually, it run successfully.
I am using MS SQL 7.0
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I have two jobs scheduled on the Agent. Each job has ten steps. The next step is executed only if the previous suceeds.
I want Job 2 to execute only if Job 1 suceeds. How do I schedule that?
I was thinking that I can have the ten steps of Job 2 as steps (11 to 20) of Job 1 with each step executing after the previous one succeeds. If I do that then I can get rid of Job 2.
Let me know what approach you would advise.
Thanks
I am trying to schedule a simple job to run a stored procedure in my database. The stored procedure runs perfectly when I do so manually, however when I ask a job to run it, it gives me the following error:
Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted [SQLSTATE 42000](Error 15274).
The stored procedure does create a linked server (to an ORACLE database) and executes some commands across it. I've tried doing the link server creation as a separate step in the job and it executes that just fine so it has no issues creating the server, it just dies when it tries to use it. The job owner is the same user I've been using the execute the procedure manually. I also run the procedure step as that same user. But I still have this problem. Someone please help me!!
Hi,
Is it possible to input values to a sql job so that the sam ejob runs for different parameters i.ee the same job runs for X on all 7 days o a week and for Y only on all weekdays...
My boss wants to schedule a job that will run on the Wednesday night before the first Thursday of every month, recur on the first Thursday, and again on the Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday following the first Thursday of the month.
I've already got the first Thursday scheduled. Is there a way to schedule the other days. I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to do it, if it is possible. And I've looked at the sp_add_jobschedule to noavail.
Any help would be much appreciated. Even if it is telling me it can't be done.
Thanks
Hi!
I'm trying to create a subsciption for my report. In first creation I can do scheduling just fine, but when I try to edit my schedule, it's totally different. It shows value 1.1.0001 and when I try to change it, it's gives me first message:
value of '1.1.0001 0:00:00' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'MinDate' and 'MaxDate'. Parameter name: Value (System.Windows.Forms)
and after that when pushing OK it gives me message: "The required field StartDateTime is missing from the input structure. (rsMissingElement)".
Do you think it's a bug or is there something which I'm doing wrong?

I know enough about Databases to get myself in trouple. So maybe someone can point me in the right direction, or help me out. I work for the American Red Cross in Provo UT. We want to be able to put class registration on line so that someone can visit our website chose the class they want to take, register and pay for it all on-line. Our website http://www.redcrossut.org is hosted with godaddy and I am able to post a SQL Database. I know that our website as it stands is very poor. The people who have maintained it in the past have no idea what they were doing, my job is not the website, I am over Health & Safety Training, but have done some work with websites for fun in the past. I know a little about Visual Studio and plan to rebuild the site using C#. I can build a basic Database and interface to it with Visual Studio, Godaddy can help me with the payment part, but I have no idea how to set up SQL to allow scheduling. Any help would be appreciated. Even if it’s just a link to a tutorial.

Hey Guys!
I have a SQL Update Query that I want to run automatically everyday and
I have read through the posts and I do not understand very clearly how
to go about creating one.
The SQL query I want to run is this:
UPDATE Rental
SET TotalFee = ExtraFee + TotalFee
WHERE DaysOverdue >= 0
Once I have made a DTS package. How do I declare it in my coding???
Thanks in advance!
We are using an MSDE database engine (1.0=sql7) as a report scheduler on a web server. I can access MSDE via SQL7 Enterprise Manager to connect and view MSDE, but cannot use the DTS and job scheduling as MSDE seems to lack needed components. Using Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q241397 as a guide, I was able to create a backup of the msdb database using stored procedures including sp_add_job, sp_add_jobserver,etc, that are already present in the msdb database.
My problem is that I need to create and schedule a job for another MSDE database called CE8. This database was created by the reporting app, and contains no stored procedures. It looks to me like only msdb has the needed job scheduling procs. Does this imply that I am supposed to schedule all jobs for all databases via msdb database, or will I need to copy all job scheduling stored procedures into the other CE8 database, then create a job? Hope this makes sense,
Randy
Does anyone else ever have a problem getting scheduled DTS packages to run? I have a package that is replicating from an Access database. If I manually execute the DTS package, it works fine. If I try to schedule the same package, it bombs. Also what password do you use for the Owner and User when you are trying to schedule a SQL Server (not repository) DTS package? I've tried my loging password and it I still get problems.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a DTS Package which collects data from DB2 and stores in a table on SQL Server v 7.0. The execution of the package works fine.
When I schedule the package by right-clicking and selecting SCHEDULE PACKAGE,
I fill in the dialog box. When the package runs, I receive the following error:
DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147217390 (80041012); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()). Error source: Help file: Help context: 0. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
I get this same error when I run the package as a job.
The package is in the repository. My run command looks like:
DTSRun /S 111.11.11.11 /U sa /P xxxx /N DTS_Projections /R
The package owner is sa.
Can anyone offer any advise

Hey all,
Did anyone run in to problems with the DTS scheduler function? IE. How do I check whether a DTS package was run or not? How do I check what the schedule'd properties are (ie. for what date, for what month, etc..)?
Ilya
This is kind of a hybrid issue. When I or my developers create DTS packages we can usually run them fine from our machines, but when we go to schedule them, or run them from the Server Client we get an error that the package cannot be found. I realize that this must be some time of permissions or owner issue, but I don't know where to start looking. Should all of my DTS packages be owned by the SQL Agent Account? What am I overlooking?

Basicllay I included a no. of SUCCESS and FAILURE messages within every package. When a package compeltes, it sends an email to the ADMIN. for notifying the compeletion of TASK. I am using OUTLOOK 2000 mail client POP3/SMTP.
When I run manually the above mentioned active script. It works very fine but when I schedule it, it FAILS and windows NT EVENT VIEWER (Application Log) reports the following error message:
"Your profile was not successfully loaded, but you have been logged on with the default system profile. Please correct the problem and log off. (5)"
Source = USERENV
I treid to configure the SQL MAIL as well but unfortunately I am using OUTLOOK 2000 not excahnge, and documentation of SQL as well as the knowldge base of SWYNK say to configure the user profile but I did not find any anything even in address book to configure a user profile.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO CAN HELP ME TO FIGURE OUT THIS SCHEDULING PROBLEM.
Thanks

I had this problem a while ago, and in an effort to clean up Logins and Permissions, have created it again. Unfortunately, I didn't document what I did the first time to resolve this issue. I know it is a security issue, but I don't remember what permissions to add to what login to make this work.
When I create a DTS package (in Local Packages) and go to schedule it, I get this error.
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQL State: 42000)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I'm assuming it's an issue with either the SQL Server Agent Service startup account (which has it's own login defined for it), or the SQL Server connection (which is using another SQL Server authentication login).
Thanks,
Jennifer
When we run the backup job manually or schedule it, it gives us this error some times and fails:
Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3023) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
what exactly is the problem i don't understand ..there is no online help regarding either error 3023 or 3013..could you look into this please.

Hello there,
I have recently been thrown into SQL with not much experience, and assigned the task of automating bacckups. I need to figure out how to get SQL to backup twice daily (with different file names).
When atempting to run the schedule backup, I could not find any information to help me on this. Does anyone know of any good books on the subject, or even better yet does anyone have relevant experience?
Thanks.
Can I call a DTS package from server1 to run on server2 if the package is on server1?
Does the package have to be on both servers? Both databases are identical.
And if not, how do I script the DTS package on server1 to be used and created on server2?
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Dianne
I'm sorry to beat this to death but something odd is happening that I'm not quite sure I understand.
I have a number of DTS packages that when originally created with the wizard were scheduled and the jobs have run fine. Today, I created an import job that runs great but then crashes when I try to schedule it from the wizard. When I manually go in and try to schedule the DTS job, it accepts the input but does not create the job.
Since I've done this before, I'm confused about why I was able to do this previously, but not now. Permissions, etc. have not changed at all and I am the dbo for the database. The DTS package and attempted job scheduling are being done on Windows 2000 Server. SQL-Server version is 7.0.
Anybody have any ideas?
I have seen lots of messages on scheduling DTS packages, but none have solved my specific problem.
I could manually run my local DTS package, but it wouldn't run when I scheduled it. The problem was with connecting using OLE DB provider. I checked everything: my NT account had all relevant permissions, as did the SQL Server agent account. I tried playing around with the job owner.
In the end, the only thing that worked was if I physically created the local DTS package on the Server rather than sitting at my workstation (still under my NT account though - I even logged on to the server with my NT account). The job then ran fine.
I think it is something to do with NT authentication (as I never got the problem before using NT auth). Can anyone shed any light on it? Is it something to do with the fact that with NT authentication the workstation ID is an advanced property of the OLE DB connection?
Hi:
We have DTS packages that are scheduled to run on the 1st of every month. Our clients have decided to turn off their machines on the 31st of December. What will happen to the scheduled packeages when the machine is turned back on?
Is there a queue they are put in so that they'll run when the machine comes back up OR is an alert generated and the package scheduling automatically sets the execution for next month??
We are running MSSQL 7.0 SP1 on NT 4.0 SP5.
Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I created a simple test DTS package to import a text file (2 rows, 5 fields wide) into a test table. When I manually execute the package in DTS, it is successful. When I schedule the package and the text file is located on the local drive (C:) the package is successful. I then modified the package to import the same file from the network drives, manually executing the import the package is successful. But when I schedule this package to import from a network drive it fails. Help? Where could the problem come from? NT security, limitations in SQL Server 7 SW, different levels of security between manual and scheduled processes, network security?
FYI: I am running Server 7, on WIN NT Workstation 4.0, SP5, DB size 12 GB, rolling 90 days of data.
How can I use SQL Server Agent schedule to start my.exe?
I am not sure in command that I have to place in "Edit Job Steps" DialogBox.
It's not working just with path. File is accessible, it's on the same server. I dont know KeyWord to execute this .exe.
Sorry for stupid question.
