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

What permissions/roles/etc. are necessary for a SQL login to see and start jobs.
Thanks, I'm having trouble with sp_start_job (it says job does not exists, that another user can run just fine...)

I have a number of jobs that will need to be run in an adhoc fashion(no set schedule).
I will be utilizing a mainframe operations staff and would like to limit their access on SQLServer
as much as possible while allowing them start jobs and view history. What would be the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance.
I have several users that are a member
of a Windows Nt group. I want to be
able to allow this group to create,
update, and delete SQL Agent Jobs.
But I do not want them to be members
of the SYSADMIN role.
Everything that I have found states
that they must be members of this
server role to perform these actions.
Does anyone have an idea on how to
accomplish this? or point me in some
kind of direction to explore.

I have a job with a single ActiveX step that I have setup and am having problems running.
If i set the SQL Server Agent to run as an Administrator then my job processes fine however under the default setup which has the SQL Server Agent running as Local System I get an error.
I assume this is permissions problem so I created a basic windows user called ABC. I then created a credential called ABC linked to the windows user ABC. I then created a proxy that uses the credential ABC and then ticked the box that allows the proxy to run ActiveX scripts. I then set the ABC as a principle of the proxy.
I then set my single job step to be run under the ABC credential.
Still no luck. This is the first time i've worked with this sort of thing so I'm not sure if I'm going about it in the right way.
Please explain how i can have a job that runs as an active X script. I understand running sql server agent as administrator is bad for security so what are the alternatives?
Permissions on SQL Server Agent.
I would like to assign the permission to user ,who can edit all SQL agent job(even own by others) without assigning the sysadmin role.
This is sort of a DR issue since it involves reboots and power failures.
We have MSSQL 2005 SP1 and unpatched systems, but in particular we have this problem still with the SP1 server (in addition to the unpatched systems). Running on Win 2k3.
It seems that upon reboot, our stored SSIS jobs lose their pemissions and/or ownership for execution. It doesn't happen at every reboot or power failure, but seemingly more than half the time.
Here is the error reported:
The job failed. The owner () of job Job_1 does not have server access.
But checking the properties of the job and it shows an valid owner in the Owner field. I believe we are using Active Directory for authentication and the user listed is valid in that respect.
We have "fixed" this problem before by removing the job completely and re-installing it, with the same owner. No issues until the next system outage.
Has anyone else seen this before? Is there a fix or is this some kind of bug?
Hi,
I'm using SQL SERVER 7.0. I'm wondering if it is possible to start a job with TSQL from within Query Analyzer?

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 !!
I have a backup job which runs on sqll server 2000. About every two weekes the job doesn't complete. I t doesn't fail but just stays at executing until it's stopped. I t then won't run again until the server is rebooted. Anyone any ideas on what might course this. The database is approx 1.5 gig. It backs up between 5 and 8 hours. Normally there should be none or very little access to the database whilst it is backing up. The db is used for an intranet application.Any help much appreciated!Cheers
View 6 Replies View RelatedJobs 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 ?
We have DTS Packages that are scheduled to run nightly and show up in EM under JOBS under SQL Server Agent. A password got changed and some of the nightly jobs blew up.
Went into the Packages and entered the new password and successfully executed the packages BUT when I go back to jobs under the SQL Server Agent, the jobs STILL will not run - they fail with a login failure - as if i never fixed the DTS package. HELP
hi every 1,
i am having a real tough time to figure this one out .
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.

Hi all,
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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,

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.
I'm trying to find out if there is a way within sql server or via script of emailing when a particular job or jobs has over run?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI’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?

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.

I guys,
Does Anyone of the SQLServer Guru has a smart script to alert DBA by email for failed jobs or jobs running more then their normal time(long running jobs), so that I dont have to go and look at the jobs everyday manually...on different servers...

We have a scheduled restore job daily from production backup to non-production. The job usually runs in 2 hrs but today it ran more than 8 hrs.
How to get notification about this job like if it runs more than 3 hrs send email with % of restore completed
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!
I would like to create an SSIS package in 2005 and run it in 2000. Is there anyway to do this? Or does SQL Server 2000 have a precursor to SSIS? I am trying to create a job to automatically catch and kill orphaned processes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDevelopers 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!

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.
