I have a very annoying problem with my SQL Server 7.0
Here is the story:
In our compagny we have three SQL servers, SQL1, SQL2 and SQL3. The SQL1 server is our development server where we build our databases. When they are ready to go live I make an DTS package that copies the database to SQL2 and put it into a schedule.
Is it somehow possible to execute a job on SQL2 when the job on SQL1 succesfully has finished??
I have moved my database recently from a NT server to a Windows 2000 server, both running SQL 7.0 I have a couple of jobs that sometimes, work, sometimes not, the problem it tells me is that it cannot find the file specified, I run the job from enterprise manager and it runs just fine, it'll run here and there but it still fails frequently. Any suggestions on what to check? Thanks.
I'm new to SQL. I have a scenario, Where customer want to move all the jobs from original SQL server to some remote SQL server and want to trigger jobs on remote server to do its work on original server.
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

I have created DTS packages to export data to text files....these packages are running...the jobs that are created to run these packages are failing ... both the SQL SERVER and the SQL SERVER AGENT are running administrator accounts ...if the job step is run on the command line it works..so basically some permission that invokes the the command shell is missing...jobs that run just T-SQL steps work fine too....what am i missing out?
Hi, I have to move my SQL server data from win95 to NT. When it comes to databases I would execute attach option. When it comes to backup devices I think I could simply copy the folder where backup devices are being located? IS it true?? How about moving jobs; DTS and Database Maintenance Plans??? Any Ideas?? Thanks, Andy
Hello - I was curious if there is any way to "copy" a SQL Job, alert etc. from one server to another. I want to test jobs on a non production server before putting them out on our live Server. I understand you can do the whole Master server thing, but this temp server is often rebuilt for whatever we need. Any insights would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in Advance. Joe
I have installed SQL server 2000 (Enterprise) on W2K advanced server using my local "Administrator" account. Using the same account for login, I have created database backup jobs on the server. After this I rename the Windows administrator account to "admin". Now I see that the jobs started failing. The error message indicates that "could not determine whether the 'server/administrator' account has access to SQL server."
Further, when I tried to troubleshoot, I discovered that the job owner name still displayed (through EM) is "server/administrator" account (this account is now renamed). I tried to change the owner name to "server/admin" but it is not getting changed. Hence, I just created a Windows user named "Administrator" and see that the Job is executing successfully.
Please note that the backup is taken on the server itself and SQL server & Agent services are running under security context of a domain account having administrator priveleges on the server.
What I am interested in knowing is what are the reasons for such behaviour? And how to rectify this problem since i really don't want the "administrator" account to be created.
Hi. i'm new to sql server jobs as i have never used the feature manually before. here is what i want to do but i don't know if it's possible.
we have a report we use that's accessed from an asp page. currently, the page uses a stored procedure to generate the data. well, as time has progressed, we've added many items to the report. it now takes a good 15-20 seconds to pull the report. what i want to do is run a job that will compile the data for me and just dump that information into a new table. does that make sense?
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 am creating a job for integration services in SQL server 2005 64-bit edition. I am getting error :The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) (SqlManagerUI). Please help

i need to find out what jobs are schedule in the server that sends data out to ever . we are doing the migration from 2000 to 2005 and need to know which jobs send data to the another server . i looked at the sysjobs_view , it tells the origination server and all the jobs that are running on it, but that's pretty much it. on the sql agent , i see all the jobs but dint know which jobs are sending data out side the server . some jobs are regular backup maintenance jobs how will I figure out which once are gong out . hope you people can help . any help will be so much appreciated. bobby
Who should own job in SQL Server 2005? Currently, I have set up a couple new jobs, the owner is a windows login with administrative privileges on the server. So the job runs fine.
When I tried to change the owner to a non-admin user, the job failed, stating that I needed to set up proxy permissions or something to that effect. So I left the owner as the admin user.
Is that ok, or even the preferred owner of jobs?
Also - One of my job steps is calling an SSIS package. On the "general" tab, it shows that it will run the package as the SQL Server Agent, and then there is a section "Log on to Server" where you select windows or sql server login info. In this case, I the SQL Server agent is a different windows account than the job owner... so who is logging in at the package level - the job owner or the SQL Server agent account?
I have hundrends of SQL Agent jobs in SQL Server 2005 and I want to move them to another server everyday for DR purpose. I try to restore the msdb to another server but it seems that proxy could not match the credential on that server even the credentials have same name. Any suggestion for me to move jobs each night? Thanks in advance!
Hello I am using SQL Server 2005 I want to delete the data from my table after specific number of days.This should happen automatically. After the days I specified the data from the table should automatically get deleted. Can anyone let me know how to achieve this.If anyone can give an example for this it will be great.Thanks in advance.
i have a package scheduled in sql server..... if i change something in the package and save the change... will the scheduled job then reflect that change? or does the scheduled job have to be deleted and the package re-scheduled in order for the change to take affect? (for example....i have a scheduled package which pulls some data from an oracle server and populates a sql server tabel. well....the oracle server has changed. so if i open my package and change the oracle server connection and save it, will the scheduled job have this change?)
Hello guys,I've one query regarding accessing SQL Server. I want to use SQL Server jobs scheduling functionality. Is it possible to open SQL Server's jobs window from VB.NET? (Server -> Management -> Jobs) Pls. help me to solve this query. Thanks in advance. Waiting for yr reply.
I am trying to copy DTS Packages and Jobs from two different Servers to one new server. I know I can script the jobs, but they won't run without the DTS packages. I have backed up and restored the MSDB database from Server 1 to my Main server and therefore I have all the jobs from that machine. My problem is how do I get the jobs stored in SERVER 2's MSDB over to my main server without replacing the tables I already have thus losing the jobs and packages that I imported? I have thought about backing up Server 2's MSDB then importing to another database,on the MAIN SERVER and then importing with an append to the 'live" msdb, but I believe the table names are the same and I may end up with duplicate entires. I don't know what problem this will cause. Any suggestions will be great. Thanks in advance
Can anyone let me know how to migrate the sql server jobs to new cluster server from a stand alone box? Is it easy to just restore the msdb on the new server?
We have transfered some jobs to new server using DTS 'export jobs' task, but they are failing when trying to execute DTS packages in them saying 'login failed for user----though everything is correct with the user!
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???
Migrated Packages from DTS to SSIS... Tried running the jobs calling these DTS packages ....but getting error ......
the step in job is : DTSRUN /S<servername> /U<username> /P<password> /N"ATL_Get_Down_Dates" giving error : Executed as user: USATLBNHSYSTEM. DTSRun: Loading...

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?
Will prbly write a blog about this pretty soon. Until then, here is a quick llist of steps:
Create an IS package from Visual Studio. In the Toolbox, under the "Control Flow Items" there is a "Transfer Jobs Task". Use this to transfer jobs to your local machine or any other server.
I still have to figure out how to make it write to a flat file. The only destination it allows at this point seems to be another SQL server.

The application that I'm working is has a job that runs 24/7 which checks a table for rows with specific status, if it finds it, then I has to execute a job for each row that it finds. I don't know wheather if SQL Server jobs are asynchronous or not, since I need the execution of jobs to be in parallel instead of in a pipeline mode.
The 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.
