I have a web page which calls a SQL Agent job to initiate an SSIS package. Is there any way i can monitor the job and detect once it has completed successfully? At present all i can seem to get is the return status of whether the job has started or not.
I'm hoping that someone has experienced this problem before and knows how to get round it.
The problem we are having is that we have a job that is scheduled to run at 4:00 am each morning, for the past 6 weeks it has done this with no problem. However, this morning it failed. we know it failed because it didn't produce the results it was supposed to. However the monitor said that the job had completed successfully. On examining the history of the job we found that the job was still running!!! When we tried to stop the job by right clicking and selecting the appropriate action. The action available to us was to start the job.
After arguing for a bit we decided to try and run the job again. We did this and found that the job running in the history screen terminated with an error and than ran and completed successfully.
Confused? So are we any ideas or solutions gratefully received
If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.
I have setup transactional replication everything on one box. later(two or three weeks later), Replication monitor is show red X Under my publishers (publications is disconnected). this is SQL2005.
when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success. DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0). Started: 3:37:41 PM Finished: 3:37:43 PM Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!
I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.
I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.
If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.
I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.
For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).
This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"
We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?
Hi, Today, I heard about Sql Profiler, and I seems to be a tool to monitor, analyze, and fine tune sql server. Is there a tool like this for SQL Server Express 2005? thanks,John
Hullo. I have a SQL SCHEDULER Job that keeps hanging.
1) How do I monitor this? I would like to have another Sql Job monitor the first one hourly, and send me an email if it is hanging. Isn't there a system table that tells me a job status?
1a) Once I find the job, how can I "Stop it" automatically?
2) Is there a way to have the Job stop itself it it runs for more than 20 minutes?
Can anyone please tell me whether there are any ways we can check whether a connection that was opened to a SQL Server database is closed. Is there a tool we can use?.
How do I access performance monitor (system monitor).I am using Windows 2000 professional, SQL server 2000. Do I need to set up analysis service or something? I am not seeing system monitor on my box? am I missing something?
I want to know whether any performance monitoring tools/procedure available in market for SQL Server other than Performance monitor, Profiler, Query Ananlzer of SQL Server.
Hi guys! Please tell me where is mistake? I have win.nt workst. 4.0 and SQL Server 6.5 Client Configuration Utility installed. I open Performace monitor and try to add to chart sql server which already have been registered in SQL Enterprise Manager. And I have error message: Computer name not found.
Until this week, I had full functionality of SQL Monitor`s capabilities to monitor SQL Server. Now, when I select our Production Server and attempt to `Add to Chart` I am unable to view/select any SQL Server... entries in the `Object` dropdown list box. When I click the down arrow with the Development server selected I DO see all of the SQL Server selections. This inability to `see` the SQL Server functions in the Performance Monitor for the Production server exists regardless of whether I attempt to view them from a Win NT 4.0 Workstation or at the Server`s console. Again, I had full functionality from both locations last week. The logins have not changed. What has changed?
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. I need to monitor this system and I`m running blind at the monent.
I do all my monitoring locally for disk space, locks, blocking, I've 10 production servers, We need to centralised the monitoring server so from one server all the monitors can be done. Does anyone has any ideas how memory, cpus consumption, disk space, all alerts, locks, blocking, log space and job completition monitoring can be handled.
I have a winnt and sql server 6.5 when i open up sql performace monitor it doesn't show any thing it comes blank when i go to reintialize the sqlserver object is not there i need to know how can i fix it
I have discovered that there is an extended procedure called xp_fixeddrives, which can check how much space you have on your SQL Server's drives, it works fine. Can some one tell me what can I use to monitor the above (space used on drive) on servers that do not have SQL at all. Remember I want to call that from my SQL NOT from VB
Is there anyway that you can automate performance monitor from the cmd line. I.e feed it some parameters like server and counters and receive a log file at the end.
Hi experts, I just want to know how can i kill all the processes of a database if the database have more than 100 connections.This is for the purpose of restoring a database.
I'm very new with SQL Server. My company just purchased a dedicated server and we installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The operating system is Windows Server 2003.
We have only 8 databases in that machine and there is this 1 particular database that keeps getting error. I know that the database is in error if I go to the Management Studio Express and I expand the database, that particular database has no [+] expand symbol and if I try to view the properties it will say "out of memory error" or something like that.
How can I find out what is causing this error? That database has is 18MB and is not used frequently. The error usually appears once every month.
Does anyone know of a good and preferably free sql performance monitor? I feel my site is running a little slowly after some changes i made and i would like to check it out. Thanks.
I'm experiencing some very odd behavior in Enterprise Manager.I have a process that performs the following:1.) Restores a published database from Server A onto Server B. Thedatabasesare identical and they are both published.2.) I run a script that then deletes the subscriptions to thepublication onServer B. I do this via SP_DROPSUBSCRIPTION.3.) I run a script that then deletes the publication. I do this viaSP_DROPPUBLICATION.4.) Deletes the distribution database.5.) Deletes the old jobs.6.) Creates the publication from pregenerated scripts.7.) Adds the subscriber.8.) Adds the subscription.9.) Generates the snapshot and applies it.What's happening is that I'm seeing the job name that's assigned to thedistribution job increment by 1 each time this process is run. Also,I'mseeing ten instances of the publication showing up in the tree view.Everything appears to be rtunning just fine, transactions beingreplicated,etc. I'm just wondering is there something I'm missing in my steps.Plus,after two or three months of this, might not look so good having 90publications showing up in the tree view.Thanks!
