Maintenance Jobs Failing SSIS Subsystem Failed To Load
May 1, 2008Environment: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition x64, 3 server cluster. Two active servers with seperate instances and one passive server. SQL Server was installed on the two active servers.
Problem: When I fail over either of my instances to the passive server in the cluster my maintenance jobs fail to run and there are error messages in the application event viewer "SSIS Subsystem failed to load". I am guessing that all of the needed components are not installed on the passive server? Is this a close guess? If so, exactly what components are missing and do you have to have another license to install them?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

All Maintenance Jobs On New Servers Failing
Sep 2, 2002Hi all,
I've just set up 2 new SQL 7.0 servers, and my new maintenance jobs - backups, optimisations, consistency check jobs etc - are all mysteriously failing. I've created them both with the Maintenance Wizard, and again by hand. I've attempted manual and scheduled runs. All to no avail. Nor do they populate the sysmainthistory table, although they're configured to do so. The mystery is that we have successfully installed some user DTS processes, and THEIR jobs work. In order to resolve the problem, I've:
(1) ensured the Agent service is running;
(2) ensured adequate space on the drive etc;
(3) verified that sqlmaint.exe exists in Mssqlinn;
(4) unchecked the 'attempt to repair minor errors' box (I read this was a known cause of the problem);
I've got some clues to go on, but nothing conclusive;
'sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.'
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe
failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step
failed.
Additionally, both servers hold databases that I imported from another server-INCLUDING the msdb, and BOTH have the same problems and same error messages. This cannot be a coincidence.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
JB.
Jobs Generated By Maintenance Planner
Jul 25, 2000Using the maintenance planner wizard can create four jobs:
1. Backup DB
2. Integrity checks
3. Optimizations
4. Log backup
depending on what choices you make.
It appears to me that when the scheduled date/time comes,
that the jobs run as scheduled.
My questions are:
a. If I manually start one of the four jobs, will that job and
only that job execute?
OR
b. Will all four execute?
OR
c. Will the manual execution of a specific job cause the other
jobs to be executed also?
Any insight into how this function works is much appreciated!!!
How To Export Jobs And Maintenance Plans?
Mar 18, 2008Hi:
2 SQL2000 ent sp4 servers.
Try to 'one step' to export all jobs and related maintenance plans from serverA to serverB, via backup msdb from A and restore to B.
After restore msdb to serverB, I saw all jobs and related maintenance plans, but the jobs are not runable.
Do I have to save jobs scripts one by one from A, then rerun on B one by one?
thanks

SQL 2012 :: Changing SA Account Name Causes Maintenance Jobs To Fail
Sep 23, 2014SQL 2012 Standard on Windows Server 2012 Standard
After observing brute force attacks on our VPS myhosting instance against the SA login, I change the SA login name. Now my two new backup jobs are failing. The agent service logs in as NT ServiceSQLSERVERAGENT. Nothing changed there (so far as I know and I'm the only one who should be on the VPS). The job owner was SA and after changing the SA account that was reflected in the SSMS gui; job owner 'newsaname'. I'm sure I can just rebuild the maintenance plans but I'd like to know what happened.
Also, I would like to learn more about the brute force attacks and how to determine what port they are comming in on. I see an IP address associated with them. Does that mean they are coming in on 1433 or 1434?

SQL 2000 Maintenance Plan And Multi-step Jobs
Mar 9, 2006Hi,
I'm working with SQL 2000 and am just learning about Maintenance Plans (MP). They seem convenient, but after some time, I'm wondering if they're the best approach long-term. Here are my experiences.
Using the MP Wizard, I created a plan with tasks from all the dialogs:
- Optimize database
- Check integrity
- Backup database
- Backup transaction log
- Write a report
I was puzzled to find 4 jobs were created, each with just 1 step, and staggered starting times. I expected to find 1 job with 4 steps. So, brimming with confidence, I did just that. I combined all 4 into 1 job, deleted the 3 other MP created jobs, and checked for any job-specific details in the code. However now when I open the MP, I get this pop-up:
"One or more of the jobs created for this plan has had additional steps added to it. It is not recommended that jobs created by the maintenance plan be modified in any way."
Okay, fair warning. Yet it appears the job and all steps run successfully, both on demand, and on a schedule. So now I'm wondering if jobs always need a MP. If I don't mind working with xp_sqlmaint syntax, it appears the only thing I'm giving up is the MP history. But I expect job history and '-WriteHistory' will minimize that loss.
I searched BOL, this Forum, and Google, and found a couple articles. One author preferred the ease of the Wizard, another preferred the control and added features of T-SQL, but both created a MP in their examples. So I'm hoping some experienced DBAs can advise.
If I create a job with multiple steps, and no MP, are there important things I give up or problems I create?
Is this approach a bad idea in SQL 2005?
At this stage, I don't need replication or other advanced features. Just simple database maintenance.
Thank you,
- Martin

Database Maintenance Plan Failed
Mar 4, 2002Hi all-
I have a database maintenance plan set up to run for user databases. The integrity checks job for a user database failed today with the error 'error 7919 Repair cannot be processed, db must be in single user mode' . I have scheduled the job to run once every week. Is this a bug in sql server 2000? I thought that the db is placed into single user mode when the integrity job starts. Please advise.
Thanks,

How To Disable/enable Jobs For Database That Has Failed Over
Nov 22, 2006Hi,
I currently have serverA importing data from an AS400 oledb connection and serverB on hot-standby as a mirror. The data import is being performed via an SSIS scheduled job.
I've yet to implement any solution in the following case:
If the database on serverA fails, it will failover to the mirror. But the jobs will still be on serverA. Ideally, I'm assuming the jobs should not run on serverB since it will be attempting to update the mirrored database. So, I am wondering if both servers can have identical copies of SSIS packages and jobs and simply (?) enable or disable them based on which server will be hosting the principal database.
Is there any solution where the jobs can automatically be disabled on the server with the mirrored database and enabled on the principal database depending on its status?

Newbie In Tsql - Finding Latest Failed Jobs
Mar 16, 2008I am a newbie to tsql. I am trying to find if a job has failed, if so I only want to pickup the lastest job. I want to see name,message and run date. I know I need to find the max run_date and run_time for each job_id. I know that I need to join the sysjobhistory table and the sysjobs tables. I also know that I need status not equal to one. I have tried thousands of different things and nothing seems to work. If I ever get this to work then I only want to look at jobs in the last 24 hours. I am not going to include any of my job since I have tried so many things and I have been all over the map.
Failed Maintenance Plan [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029)
Apr 9, 2001We have a maintenance plan that runs every 15 minutes to backup a transaction log. It fails intermittantly with the message:
"sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed."
This is the only error message to be found in any of the logs. I've checked event viewer, the SQL error logs, exception log, maintenance plan log, sysdbmainplan_history table in msdb, but can't find any extra information. I checked the MSDN for info on this error and this did not add any extra light on the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to de-bug this error?

How To Monitor Failed Sql Server 2005 Jobs When Database Mail Is Disabled
Sep 14, 2007
We have our SQL Server 2005 hosted at a datacenter and have only SS Management Studio access (no term serv, no event log, etc.). Also, our hosting company has disabled the Database Mail feature. We have over 60 jobs running on a minute/hourly/daily basis that are critical for our business. It is super important for us to know if and when a job failed.
Given this scenario, how do you suggest we implement monitoring/notification of failed jobs?
SQL Server 2008 :: Failed Task In Maintenance Plan Not Being Reported By Database Mail
Apr 29, 2015I have inherited a server on which is a maintenance plan with two subplans on different schedules. In each subplan there are Execute T-SQL tasks with scripts for index rebuilds. Each task is set up with a Completion arrow to the next task and a Failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task. I was asked to add a task for index rebuilds to a specific subplan for a specific database, which is what the other tasks also do. I discovered that my task was failing but the others were fine. No notification was sent about my task failing even though the job is marked in MSDB as a failed job. I have sent a test email using the "Send Test Email..." option when right clicking Database Mail in SSMSand I receive an email so I know Database Mail works.
I set up a test job to model the index job that I can't get notifications from. I have two T-SQL tasks that just select the top row from a small table. The first task has a syntax error that I did so it would fail. I have a failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task and a Completion arrow to another T-SQL task with no syntax error which has a Success arrow to a Notify Operator task. As expected, when I execute this job I receive one failure email and one success email.
The only other troubleshooting step I know to try is to add a Notify Operator task before my failing task. That Notify Operator task will hopefully fire to tell me that the previous step was successful. I am not having problems with the other steps so I was just thinking I would try to get the subplan to send me a success email about one of the steps that has been working fine.
Maintenance Plan Failing With Login Failed For User 'sa'. [CLIENT: &&<local Machine&&>]
Nov 28, 2007Maintenance plan for bakcup is failing with "Login failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]"
I went to the Maintenance Plan and opened the Subplan. I clicked the "Manage Connections"
It has three tabs:
Name: Local Server Connection
Server: prod
Authentication: SQL Server Authentication
I clicked the Edit and it shows the Connection Properties:
It says: Enter information to logon to the server. "Use a specific Username and Password" is checked. Username is set as "sa" while the password is empty. I typed in the correct password and pressed Ok. When I go back again, the password still shows empty. I tried to run the plan and it again fails. Do you know why it is not showing the password as blank even if I try to save the password.
Bizzare Error - All Back-up Agent Jobs Failed With Unsual Error!
Jan 29, 2008I have a really odd one here. We have a production server which is running SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3. It has a number of databases which are backed up nightly. Last night all of the back-up jobs failed with the following error: -
Msg 913, Sev 16: Could not find database ID ##. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition. [SQLSTATE 42000]
The databases are in good shape - no issues to report. When I run the Agent Job code within a Query Analyser session it works fine.
When I try and re-start the back-up from the Agent Job it continues to fail with the same error.
Any ideas?

Maintenance Plan Wizard Vs Tsql Maintenance
Aug 17, 2007Hello,
I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
Thanks.
Maintenance Commands Affect On Log File / Log File Maintenance Without Log File Backups?
Jun 18, 2015I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.
I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.
1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?
2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?
3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?
4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?
I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.
Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.
5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?

Stuck Between Failed To Generate User Instance And An Attempt To Attach...failed
Sep 29, 2005I wrote an application using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 which uses a SQL Express .mdf file, included in the project, for the database. After installing Visual Studio 2005 RC and the SQL Express that comes with it (I followed all of the uninstall instructions first) I can no longer add a SQL Express database to any of my projects, nor can I open the SQL Express database in my original project. When I try either of these tasks, I get the "Failed to generate user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed." I read the thread which dealt with this error, and changed the connection string for the database file that had worked before to User Instance = false. The moment I click Test Connection or OK, I get the error: "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:<path to project>EngSQL.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share." (<path to project> is actually a full path, I didn't want to type the whole thing out. :) ). A search for this error turns up a solution of setting User Instance = false, which puts me in a catch 22 position.

Maitenace Plan Check Database Integrity Task Fails With Failed:(0) Alter Failed For Server 'xyz'
Feb 21, 2008
Hi,
I am administering several SQL Servers running SQL Server 2005 SP2 Build 3042.
I have a common maintenance plan that runs on each of the servers. The maintenance plan runs
fine on all the servers except for one. On the one server the Database Integrity check fails with the following error:
Check Database integrity on Local server connection
Databases: <list of databases>
Include indexes
Task start: 2008-02-21T00:05:42.
Task end: 2008-02-21T00:05:46.
Failed0) Alter failed for Server €˜XYZ€™
I created a test maintenance plan to just do the integrity check and selected one database only and this also failed with the same error message. I ran this test maintenance plan and configured it for each of the databases in question and it failed each time.
If I run the DBCC manually against the databases they all report fine.
I read some of the post that talked about the €œAllow Updates€? being set incorrectly but that does not apply to my problem since my configured and run values are set to 0.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
