Jobs Running Stored Procedures Stall In Randon Places

Nov 24, 1999

Developers have complained that some of their jobs are taking too long to
run. I used Profiler to trace one really bad performer and could see that
the code was making one pass through its loop in about 7 seconds. I found
one select statement that was using the majority of the time, plugged it into
query analyzer and looked at the execution plan. It was using an index but
not very efficiently. I then ran it through index analysis and it
recommended a new index. This was cool! The new index helped.

But, the job continued to run very, very slowly - over a week before it died!
I ran another trace, and it was hanging for 10+ seconds in random locations.
Sometimes it would be on a database call, sometimes it would be on a simple
SET @variable = value statement. There was no pattern. According to the
sys admin, the server itself did not look taxed. It does not appear to be a
locking problem because of the random location of the stall. The application
and server are only lightly used at this point, so I would hate to see how
bad it could be if it was busy.

I am still fairly new to SQL, though I have years of DBA experience. I would
appreciate any ideas - especially the obvious things that I am probably not
considering. I have logged a call with Microsoft but they haven't gotten
back with an answer. I sent them a trace file and a perfmon file, neither
of which showed them anything.

Thanks!

Jobs,DTS & Stored Procedures

Sep 26, 2000

I have a quick query for all you experts!

I have set up a lot of .bat & dts & stored procedures which have to be run in a sequence.I wish to Automate this "Sequence" but am a little lost on how to do it. Would anyone recommend how to encapsulate all the events into a DTS or A stored procedure or simply have a "Job" to run this?????


All suggestions are welcome!

Problems Running Stored Procedures

Jul 20, 2005

I have two similar stored procedures which I'm running. One runs andone doesn't. I can run both with no problems in SQL Enterprise (7.0standard) and have checked the permissions and am happy with them.Whilst the statements in each sp are different, I'm calling them inexactly the same way (using Delphi 5 Windows 2000). I don't get anytrappable errors.I ran a trace on what was happening and I get two different set ofresults. This is what I'm trying to get my head around.Client Trace (runs)1 09:09:44 Log started for: Swift Client Import Utility2 09:09:48 SQL Prepare: MSSQL - :1 =dbo.CBFAUpdateSwiftClient;13 09:09:48 SQL Misc: MSSQL - Set stored procedure on or off4 09:09:48 SQL Data In: MSSQL - Param = 1, Name = Result, Type= fldINT32, Precision = 0, Scale = 0, Data = NULL5 09:09:48 SQL Misc: MSSQL - Set statement type6 09:09:48 SQL Execute: MSSQL - :Result =dbo.CBFAUpdateSwiftClient;17 09:09:48 SQL Stmt: MSSQL - Close8 09:09:53 SQL Connect: MSSQL - Disconnect NEW9 09:09:53 SQL Connect: MSSQL - Disconnect NEW10 09:09:53 SQL Connect: MSSQL - Disconnect PASSTHRUEnquiry Trace (Doesn't run)1 09:08:21 Log started for: Swift Client Import Utility2 09:08:24 SQL Prepare: MSSQL - :1 =dbo.CBFAUpdateSwiftEnquiries;13 09:08:24 SQL Execute: MSSQL - :Result =dbo.CBFAUpdateSwiftEnquiries;14 09:08:50 SQL Prepare: MSSQL - :1 =dbo.CBFAUpdateSwiftEnquiries;15 09:08:50 SQL Misc: MSSQL - Set stored procedure on or off6 09:08:50 SQL Data In: MSSQL - Param = 1, Name = Result, Type= fldINT32, Precision = 0, Scale = 0, Data = NULL7 09:08:50 SQL Misc: MSSQL - Set statement type8 09:08:50 SQL Execute: MSSQL - :Result =dbo.CBFAUpdateSwiftEnquiries;19 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbrpcinit10 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbrpcexec11 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbsqlok12 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbresults13 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbnumcols14 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbcount15 09:08:50 SQL Stmt: MSSQL - Close16 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbdead17 09:08:50 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbcancel18 09:08:56 SQL Connect: MSSQL - Disconnect NEW19 09:08:56 SQL Connect: MSSQL - Disconnect NEW20 09:08:56 SQL Connect: MSSQL - Disconnect PASSTHRU21 09:08:56 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbdead22 09:08:56 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbfreelogin23 09:08:56 SQL Vendor: MSSQL - dbcloseI would have thought that these would be nearly identical.

Running SQL Server Stored Procedures Through Access

Dec 13, 2004

Hi,
Can someone help me with this problem.
I have a stored procedure in SQL Server that updates a particular table. When I run it in SQL server Query Analyser, it works fine. But I want to invoke this stored procedure when I click a button on an MS Access Form. The code I'm using is:

Dim cn, cmd
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "SQL" //Data Source Name
Set cmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
cmd.CommandText = "LoadApplicants" //Stored Procedure Name
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.Execute

for some reason only a few records are updated everytime I click on the button. Is there any reason why this is happening?

Running Scheduled Stored Procedures MSSQL 2000/2005

Jul 15, 2007

 Hi allI am looking for the best method to automate a website's database management. Lets say I have a user registration database and the users register. This sends an automated email to the user with a link to activate the users registration. If the user does not register within 24 hours, his registration must be automatically deleted from the database using a stored procedure.I know how to do this using the global.aspx file, however there must be an alternative way of doing this, especially if the database is an SQL database. I do not know how much MSSQL server access is given to a developer by an as ISP who hosts the website.Can anyone tell me what would be the best method to use.ThxWarren

DB Engine :: Stored Procedures Running Slowly When Encrypted On New Server?

Jul 14, 2015

I have a strange situation when I try to execute the same Stored Procedure on servers with different processors. Both servers are running the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 version with all updates.

All updates bios, disk controller, firmware, were applied on the new server.

New Server: (considerable difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 02:16hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 08:00hs
 
Server Processor:

Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.60GHz E5-2697 v3
 
Old Server: (There Are No difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
 
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.7GHz E5-2697 V2

In terms of configuration, the server 2, have lower technology, lower bus, lower number of processors.

I believe that combination of Hardware/SO/Sql Server has a potential performance loss when running encrypted SP.

SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures Running On Server 2003 Machines

Jan 20, 2006

Stupid question but please be gentle and answer anyway please....

Background: We have SQL Server 2003 (32bit) running on our servers. Our .Net applications (from old release of VS) are still running on them and using the old databases. From what I understand there is no immediate plans to upgrade the servers. However the developers were just given this new upgrade (2005) SQL Server and VS (and fixing depreciated code etc in the .net apps).

Question: Can the applications and new stored procedures written via the 2005 environment be deployed successfully on the 2003 Servers? Same goes with Reporting Services?

Jobs Not Running

Jun 23, 2006

This is the first time, I am creating a job in SQL server 2000. I have to create few jobs, which can restore the databases at midnight, daily, on the server. We use lite speed backup sofware to take the backup and backup is stored at different location. We have a lite speed script, which we use to restore the backup.
In Job step I have wrote down the script and scheduled the job. But when I try to test the job It never runs. I do not know if something else I am supposed to do after creating a job, even I tried to run it manually it doesnot work.
Please help !!

SQL7 Jobs Not Running

Oct 16, 2000

Jobs not running within SQL Server Agent on SQL7 despite being schedulled. The only explanation
I can think of for causing this is due to a date correction on the NT Server ( backwards ) by the NT Administrator.
I can run jobs manually, but the scheduled run times are being ignored.

I'm hoping that the jobs will start running again as schedulled when the system catches up to the date it was
previously at.

Has anyone had experiences of this and found a way to get things running again ?

Permissions Used For Running Jobs

Oct 1, 2002

I have a DTS package that exports data to a file, then run Win32 process pkzip to compress it to make it 4MB from 30MB so it can be emailed.
As this is to be run daily, I scheduled it, i.e. created a Job.
When running as a Job it fails in the pkzip section. The sqlservice account is not an NT system account for security reasons.

any ideas ?

TIA

Urgent SQL Jobs Running Very Very Slow

Dec 29, 2001

Hi,

I have SQLServer 6.5 SP5a update running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6
with 4 gig RAM and 4 processor.

Suddenly the SQL 6.5 jobs running on the production server started running very very slow. A job that suppose to run in 30 minutes are running like 2 hours and completing successfully.

(I suspect the after the Norton Anti virus automatic live update may be the reason but not the Second Vulnerability as mentioned by Microsoft Bulletin last week)

I check the SQLServer, ran the performance monitor, checked pagefiles, disk space, databases,memory, tempdb. Everything seems to be normal.

I rebooted the server, checked any other process making that slow. But no use.

Please help me out with this issue as this is a production and the CRM applications from the clients uses the database server.

Thanks in advance,
Anu

Running Multiple Jobs In A Sequence

Feb 18, 2004

I've got the stored procedure which first creates and then starts a job.
This stored procedure can be invoked from a number of triggers (after insert, after update)
The problem is:
when a sequence of statements is being executed one by one (like an insert immediately followed by several updates) and the stored procedure is invoked from the propper insert or update trigger once for each statement, the jobs are created in the right order (first for insert statement, then for updates in the order of the initial statements), but are executed in the wrong order.

Is there any explanation to this? And any solution?
The order of such jobs execution is vital for my application.

Thanx a lot in advance.

Please see the enclosed screenshot for an example list of jobs. Name of the job contains time of it's creation and another column shows the time the job was executed.

Long Running Agent Jobs

Jan 4, 2008

I’m trying to write a script that will detect long running agent jobs.

Having looked at this article:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3500276

It appears that agent job job id’s don’t necessarily get stored in the programname of the sysprocesses table. This is true if the agent executes an os command. It also appears that job steps do not get stored in the sysjobhistory until the step is complete so that cannot be used accurately.

Does anyone know of an effective way to find if there are long running jobs other than these methods?

SQL Agent Jobs Running On Witness?

Jan 30, 2008



Hi,

I'm trying to configure mirroring with High Availability, Automatic Failover.

I know that all the jobs and maintenance plans need to be copied to the mirror server, and enabled if a mirror database takes over the principal role.

I wonder if it is a good solution to have all agent jobs on the Witness server (no jobs on principal and mirror). And all the jobs select the server where they should run (depending on current role).

One of the advantages of this approach would be that the jobs have to be created only once on the witness.

Will this solution work? What are the downsides of it?

Thanks,

Anna Sibirtseva.

SQL Server Agent Running; Jobs Failing

Jul 9, 2007

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!
