I have just taken away a tremendous amount of rights from our developers, but would like some of the developers to still have rights to manage the scheduled job. Short of making them a system administrator I can not seem to find a predefined role that will do this. Is there one? And if not what system stored procedures or xp would you need to give them rights to, to view and run the scheduled jobs in enterprise manager.
View 1 RepliesHi,
I have a SQL server 2000, and I want a specific domain group to be able to see, start, stop and manage scheduled jobs. The domain group is only able to see jobs that it owns and none others.
How can I fix this? I want them to see all jobs and manage them, without giving this ability to any other users.
Is there a way to do this without being sys admin?
Best wishes!
Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have designed a DTS Package and it can be run successfully from Enterprise Manager. However, when I schedule the DTS package to run as a job then it fails with an error message of "Error string: The system cannot find the file specified.".
Anyone any idea as to why the job cannot find the DTS package?
Can it be something to do with SQL Server 7 and 2000 tools as 2000 Client tools have recently been installed onto my PC and the package and job ran fine when I had designed everything in SQL Server 7.

Hi,
I am trying to do an automatic backup of my database and for some reason it does not do it.
I have it set to backup daily at 4:00 pm.
Please let me know if you know why it is not backing up on it's own.
The Server manager is on always and a manual backup is not a problem for me,
only the automatic.
Thanks very much.

I have a number of DTS packages which when run manually complete successfully however, when run as scheduled tasks they always fail. Can anyone offer any advice?
Many thanks
I'm thinking of using the SQL Agent Job Scheduler as part of a larger application and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a limit on how many schedules or jobs that can exist on a SQL Server at one time.
Thanks!

I have to look for all the jobs with run_status = 4 (in process). But what i figured out it no history is written till the job is finished or cancelled. Can anyone help me with this

Hi,
we run a nightly job processes, this job depends on the data entered from the frontend, since yesterday we have been entering lot of data in it, so the job that ran last night 10pm(09/05/00) is still running now and its next schedule time 10pm today(09/06/00), if the same job is already running since yesterday and if it still runs till 10pm today, will it starts again as per the schedule or it will not run, since the same job is running since yesterday.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a scheduled job that run one time a day at 10 pm. My problem is that if the job fail, i want that the job run 10 minutes after until it complete with success.
Any tips on how to do this

In SQL 6.5, when a scheduled job failed, you could see the error message in the history. In SQL 7.0, it simply tells you which was the last step to run. Is there a place which will report the actual error message generated by the task?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have created a DTS package on a developement server that connects to our Exchange server and downloads customer service e-mail and inserts them into a table. This is done using a VB script.
When I right click on the job and execute it, it runs fine and we can see the mails after they show up in the table.
However, when I schedule the job to run at 15 minute intervals it fails with a vb runtime error. When I copy the job to my personal machine and schedule it, it runs just fine and again we see the mails in the table.
The server has the latest version of the scrrun.dll as well as IE 5.0.
I have messed around with this for 3 days now and have gotten MSFT involved as well.
Anyone seen this before? Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.

I am running a scheduled DTS which transfers all the rows in a production table to another server every 30 minutes,each time it truncates the table on the second server before transfer.It has been running fine for several days.Will there be any problem in this kind of backup strategy? Do I have to clear any history logs frequently?Or any other problem can happen? Can anyone suggest any precautions,as there will not be any down time allowed.Replication is also not acceptable by the client.
Thanks.
Why is it that I can run my DTS package locally howeverv when I try to run it as a Job it always fails? I do realize that the sqladmin account is used to run the job and it has all the permissions needed.
Any suggestions?
Also if I kick the job off from my local system it states it cannot find the batch file that I am trying to run? Im running it on the server however it treats it like im running it locally?
Very frustrated..
Thanks
David
If I have 2 scheduled tasks set for the same time (perhaps accidentally), will the
SQL Executive start 1 and queue the other one until the first is complete and
then run the 2nd task? Or will they both be started simultaneously?
Thanks!

Hiya,
Got a little question for future reference. I have a cursor that does a grant for roles, users, etc. for all tables in a DB. I can manually run it in query analyzer and it does fine. The issue is that if I try to create it as a SQL Agent job and just paste the script into the command box it returns the error:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'xxx yyy'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 170) Associated statement is not prepared [SQLSTATE HY007] (Error 0) Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'xxx yyy'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 170). The step failed.
The Cursor is written as follows:
declare @cStatement varchar(255)
declare G_cursor CURSOR for select 'grant select on[' + convert(varchar(64),name) + ']to "xxx yyy"' from sysobjects
where (type = 'U' or type = 'V') and uid = 1
set nocount on
OPEN G_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
begin
EXEC (@cStatement)
FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
end
DEALLOCATE G_cursor
I figure this has something to do with the quoted_identifier option or something simple like that, but I can't put my finger on it....In Query Analyzer this will error out if I don't have double quotes around the DB role "xxx yyy" because of the space in the role name.
I corrected the error by recreating the role name without a space, but I have some other places I'd like to be able to use this where I won't have the luxury of recreating the role if it has a space in the name.
Any takers?:confused:
I have the below code which works to rebuild indexes on a large db. I can run it from QA, but not as a job or as a sp in a job. I get the same error

Hello,
I'm new to SQL so this should be an easy question. All i want to do is create a recuring task. I want to copy data from one SQL server to another. I've created a package to accomplish this and when i execute it manually it works. What doesn't work is scheduling to execute a regular intervals. As a test i set it up to execute every minute every day (This however will change to once a day when i prove it works) and for some reason it never executes. Any ideas? By the way i created the package using the DTS export wizzard.
To all,
If I have a scheduled tasks that is owned by 'sa', how can I assign permissions to allow another user, even the database dbo, to register the SQL server and view the scheduled tasks?
Thanks in Advance,
Ed Molinari
Hi all,
I find some scheduled jobs are switching from an 'enabled' state to a 'disabled' state apparently for no good reason. The job itself still shows as being 'enabled', however the associated scheduled becomes 'disabled'. Does anyone why this would be? Is the problem associated with a paritcular service pack or anything??
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
I created a scheduled task on SQL server 6.5 which is actually dump system DB.
The problem I have is the scheduled task did not run with no error messsage returned. I have tried to force it run in different schedule modes. Nothing happened. However I can dump system DB through SEM Backup/Restore which runs OK!
Any body has idea why scheduled task does not run ?
Thanks
I am trying to set up a DTS to transfer logging data from one server to another.
The record may already exist at the destination causing a primary key violation. I do not want this error to cause the entire DTS to fail.
When I execute the DTS I created by right clicking and selecting "Execute Package" it shows me 2 errors. Although there are 2 errors the rows that do not have a primary key violation are successfully transfered to the destination database.
Here are the 2 errors I see:
Error 1:
Error at Destination for Row number 97. Errors encountered so far in this task: 97.
The statement has been terminated.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_event'. Cannot insert duplicate key object 'event'.
Error 2:
Error at Destination for Row number 198. Errors encountered so far in this task: 198.
The statement has been terminated.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_eventDetail'. Cannot insert duplicate key object 'eventDetail'.
These errors make sense, there were 97 duplicate lines in the event table and 198 duplicates in the eventDetail table.
This is the behavior I want. New rows are copied to the destination database.
When I schedule the DTS as a Job in the Enterprise manager things change. When the DTS is executed as a Job (as opposed to me right clicking and selecting "Execute Package"), the job reports a failure and none of the new rows are transfered to the destination database.
Why does the DTS transfer the rows that do not violate the Primary Key constraint when I manually execute it and not when it is executed as a job?
How can I get the DTS to function as desired?
Thanks,
Andy
I've scheduled a job to run on a certain schedule, but the Last Run Status date comes back very oddly, a couple years out of synch, the other jobs scheduled report back just fine.
Anyone seen this behavior?

Hi,
I've got a DTS package with a single step that runs an exe via Process Task. The DTS runs fine when I execute it manually, but when I schedule the package, the job says it runs successfully, but does not execute the package. Now, a few facts:
The DTS is owned by user1
The Job is owned by user1
All security credentials match up
The exe is on a network with full unc path specified
SQLAgent service is running in user1's context
All user input is on the actual SQL server, but exe is on network
When I change the DTS from running the exe to performing a simple query, the job executes the DTS just fine. When I move the exe from the network and place it locally on the server, the job still won't execute the DTS. What am I missing here? This is driving me crazy!!
How can I tell when a DTS package is scheduled to run?
If I right click on the name, and select "Schedule Package", it brings up
default data (12:00 am Daily), and I KNOW that's not the scheduled time.
Thanks
I have a DTS local package that transfer data from the host SQL server to another. If I run the package directly (i.e. Right click - Execute Package) everything works as it should.
However, if I try and execute this as a Server Agent job it fails, the job history step details shows the following error:
Executed as user: MYSERVERNAMESYSTEM. ...: Drop table customer Step DTSRun OnError: Drop table customer Step, Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help context: 0 Error Detail Records: Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 17 (11) Error string: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server... Process Exit Code 2. The step failed.
Whilst this is obviously a connection issue, I dont understand how this can work if executed directly and not if executed as an agent job.
Can anybody shed any light on this?
If it helps this is the sequence of events my DTS package uses
1) Connect to remote DB
2) Drop table customers
3) Create new remote customers table
4) Connect to to local DB (hosting the DTS package)
5) Select * from local customers table
6) Dump data from local select into remote DB
I have a job that runs hourly every day from 7:00 to 19:00.
I'd like to be able to detect the last run of the day.
The problem is, I may change one (or both) or the scheduled run times,
so I don't want to hard code 19:00 into my detection scheme.
I stumbled across the sysjobsschedules table in the msdb database,
and I think the Next_Run_date and Next_Run_time fields will get me where
I need to be.
I'm trying to build a second job that runs at 10 minutes after the hour, 24 hours a day that will somehow detect whether or not the primary job just finished it's last run of the day, and if so, insert some records into a table.
Here's what I have so far...
DECLARE @intFlg1 INTEGER
SET @intFlg1= (SELECT CASE WHEN CONVERT(DATETIME, CAST(next_run_date AS CHAR(8)), 102) = Prod_Plan.dbo.RemoveTime(GETDATE()) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules
WHERE (name = N'prodplan_importorders'))
IF @intFlg1=0
INSERT INTO BLDOFF_INV_DAILY()
SELECT GETDATE() AS Expr1, Product, Whse, Qty
FROM BldOff_Inv_Hourly
The problem with this is that it will append records every hour after the last run until midnight. I only want it to append them once.
