If you are in SQL Server Management console, go to Job Activity Monitor, there is an option 'View Refresh Settings'. You have to enable/check the Auto Refresh option here every time. Is it possible to keep this Auto Refresh enabled?
Thanks!

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.
Is there a way to allow a user to run activity monitor without making that user system admin

Hi,
I have a problem with Job Activity Monitor.
I have a SSIS which copies data from a table to a flat file. The connection string of this file is variable and the file is reused if not exists and is created if exists.
When I run the SSIS manually from my microsoft visual studio it works properly. However, when I run this SSIS from the Job Activity Monitor, I get the following error:
Message

Hi All,
I want to analyze server (SQL 2005) activity at a specific time in the past. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a log file reflecting the information in Activity Monitor. Knowing that the sysprocesses and syslocks tables feed Activity Monitor, I thought about doing a log analysis on the master transaction log, but I'm not sure that's possible.
Is there a (different) way to achieve this?
Or is there a better approach to identifying processes that cause performance bottleneck/deadlocks?
Any input would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've been using the Job Activity Monitor quite a lot and last night I installed Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2005. I've noticed now that I only have a "Start Job at Step" option when I right-click a job. Whereas I used to have just Start Job or both Start Job and Start Job at Step options.
The problem is that Starting a Job at a Step, produces a modal dialog box which prevents further access to Job Activity Monitor until the job is complete.
Does anyone have any comments regarding this?
Thanks in advance,
Richard.
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
Hi!
I want to extract the same information as the Activity Monitor does with SQL in SQL Server 2000.
Have tried to use sp_who2 but I miss some important columns.
How do I do?
Thanks!
I have a SSIS package set up that will transfer a file from a location on the network drive and transfer it over FTP to another location.
When I manually run the package, the file is transfer with no errors. But when the job is automated (via Job Activity Monitor) the transfer fails?
I have set the ProtectionLevel of the package to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey" and also converted the package to a Development Model. The settings for the FTP is saved within the package.
What am I missing? below is the error message

We have killed a job which is now in KILLEDROLL BACK state. Job activity monitor is not showing any running jobs but I can see the SPID of that job. When tried to kill again its giving the message ‘command completed successfully‘, not able to get the percentage or time for the roll back to complete.
Another DBA tried to create a snapshot and it was stuck and I believe it was because of this ROLLBACK as both were using same Database.
All;
We have a Windows App and Web App that share business objects which points to a single database. When a Windows user logs in, an average of 50 processes are created in the first few seconds and never go away. The details window is blank and they all remain sleeping from that point on.
I have stepped through the code to see if there is anything odd going on but most of the processes are created when validating the number of parameters the stored procedure has or the length of the stored procedure name. This translates to 1000-1500 processes on average.
Is this normal? Will it hurt performance? Is there a way to remove them?
When I try to open Activity Monitor from SSMS I receive the message "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) (mscorlib)". - more details below.

Is there anywhere in the SSMS to see the start time of a currently running job, currently running it's first step, without needing to run a query?
If not, why would Microsoft decide to not show it in the job activity monitor?
SSMS = Sql Server Management Studio
The activity monitor is not showing entries for hosts which connect via sql logins (odbc), is this normal? Where can I find a list of protocols in which the hostname/ip can be picked up. We're on SQL 2005 SP1/Build 2153
Thanks
Hi
we have one 'application'-user in sysusers that makes the connect to SqlServer for all users, for example:
Application Login-User: Thomas
DB-Connect-User: AppUser
With this solution, in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who I don't know, what is the real name of the connected user.
Any possibility to change the login-information after the connect, so that i can see 'Thomas' in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who?
Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to permanently change the order of the columns in Job Activity Monitor?
I'd like to move Duration to the right of Step Name, but this only lasts so long as I have JAM open. Once I close it and re-open, JAM goes back to its default column order. Google gives me nothing but the temporary "drag and drop" method that I already know about.
Please forgive the simplicity of this question - I am not the dba type. When I connect to a server and look at my connection attributes in activity monitor, the user column shows the correct information for my domainusername. When I run a certain stored procedure in that connection, the domainusername changes to another person. We are not using execute as, setuser, or anything special to explicitly change the user. The stored procedure is in a schema that is owned by dbo (principal_id = 1 - I verified by checking sys.database_principals.)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
John Hennesey
For SQL Server 2000 we have a user login mapped to msdb with database role membership of db_datareader and public checked. This seems to allow the developers to view the Management Activity monitor. For SQL Server 2005 the same mapping is in place but the developers cannot view the Management Activity monitor. Developers are NOT granted the sysadmin role, and should not have that role.
What permissions need to be set for SQL Server 2005 to allow users to view the Management Activity monitor? They should not be allowed to take actions on the activities.
Hi,
We have development and user acceptance (UA) servers. When I start a job on the development server, on the management studio, Start Jobs window and Job activity windows indicate "Executing" until the end of the job and finish with "success" or "failure"
But on the UA server, second after I start a job, Start Jobs window comes up with "success" or failure" and Job activity monitor says "idle" but Job continues to log without any error message and updates the tables. So these two windows are not reliable at all. I have to add that I have only job operator rights on the UA server.
Does anybody know what the reason is ?
Thanks

What is the best to produce user activity log ? Using triggers (insert, delete, update) is rather heavy (?) operation. Has anyone used SQL Profiler for that ? In log should be: who, what, when, workstation, table, changed fields, some data key values.

Dear friends,
I'm working on an entity relationship diagram about a mice farm.
Let's say we have a very very basic diagram like this:
MOUSE "is in" CAGE
For example, this gives
Mouse "n1500" is in cage "AAA"
Mouse "n1501" is in cage "BBB"
One operator can take one mouse and put it into another cage, for
example the first line becomes
Mouse n1500 is in cage CCC
Now, I was asked to track any movement... I ask myself: do I need to
add
OPERATOR "moves" MOUSE
so that I have
Operator "John" moves Mouse "n1500" on "Monday 3rd, 2007" at "5 PM"
from "AAA" to "CCC"?
or this kind of logging is provided some way by SQL server?
Thanx a lot for any hint.
I have registered a server on to my client machine successfully,but I am not finding the current activity item in the management folder on EM.How do I see the current activity on the server.Do I need to be SA for that server?My machine has NT workstation with SQL server 7.0 on it.Any one to help?

If i run sp_who, the return is normal.
If I run sp_who2, the following message is returned. (it also is returned randomly while using function in EM such as Backup/Restore.)

You cannot run SELECT INTO in this database. The DBO would have to run sp_dboption to enable this option.

p.s. I remember a similar problem in the past, it had to do with turning truncate on checkpoint in one of the system databases msdb/master/tempdb or something like that. I turned off all Trunc. and Select/Bulk options on these...
I have a requirment to create a activity log to log all changes that
take place in my tables as they happen. All my Inserts,updates & Deletes take place inside stored procs. A windows .NET application calls the stored procs and passes the data set to the stored procs to execute them on a Sql server 2000 database.
When an update statement is run inside my stored proc, the dataset only passes me the new values. but,i will need the old value from the database before the update takes place to report in my activity log. What is the best way to do it ?
My activity log shold report a description like this
"Name Changed from 'Robert Johnson'(old value) to 'Bob Johnson'(New Value)"
Though i can do a select from the tables to get the old values and match the new values to get the differences before running the update statements, it is too much work as i have well over 100 stored procs in my application and i have to check for every single field value in a table. If only one column changed in a table containg 20 columns, i would still have to check for 20 columns before determining which fields changed.
Can any one suggest me a better solution to report the old values and new values for all the updates that take place in a database through stored Procedures.
Thanks
