Hi Sql Pro,
Can u help me answer these 4 questions....
Can u schedule system/user databases backup when they are currently being used..
Does SQL Agent automatically start when u start SQL Server , if not why..?
Yesterday I setup a new server and most of the backup scheduled for midnight failed ...what maybe the reason...?I had set up all jobs as previously...?
What does the red 'X' against each job in the job scheduler indicate..?
Is there anyway u could start SQL Agent automatically ?????
Schedule backup job which usually completes in 1 to 2 minutes, it's been running for over three hours. Meanwhile transact log backup job executed and it's hanging also.
I stopped the jobs, which now shows last run status 'cancelled'. But the spid still exeists in 'current activity' pane with status 'runnable'. No locks or blocks!
Is there anyway I can get rid of this spids so that I can start backup job again?
Does anyone has a script or knows how to find out whether the schedule job completed or not? If I schedule the job to backup all databases on server and e-mail me when job completes. But one time the job got stuck and somehow never completed. Is there a way I can schedule the job to see whether the other job completed or not?
When I change the SA password on my server the current Scheduled SQL Jobs no longer work. If I run DTS packages by themselves and not from the Scheduled job window they work fine. I am using the sa as the Owner of the jobs and my SQL Agents services use a Domain Account. If I rebuild the jobs after the sa password is change they work fine. However, I don't want to rebuild 100 jobs every time I change my SA password.How can I fix or get around this problem without rebuilding my jobs?
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.
I have a package that has a file connection. We have set the connection in the package for development - we also have the connection in a config file.
We are calling the package from SQL Jobs. In the step we call the package in, we try to set the value for the connection in the Data Source tab. However, the package does NOT use the value we enter.
I then removed the connection from the config file - then the package uses what the connection was set to in development. It still will not use what we enter in SQL Jobs.
Furthermore, when we run the package we lose the values that we put in the DataSource tab!!!!
My work around has been to change the SQL Job type from an INtegration services package to a straight command line - this works.
The question is - can you set a package's connection strings from SQL Jobs using the SSIS Job Type ???
I have a very peculiar problem. I have few CommandExec jobs on SQL Server 7.0 which has been scheduled to execute at a specific time. The jobs are executing properly but, the problem is they stop after the completion. i.e after finishing the jobs they still flash a message "Executing the job" they don't flash the message "Not Running" this is happening only to commandExec jobs, I have also few TSQL jobs which are working properly. I tried even giving the duration (start and stop time) but no use. Has anyone encountered this problem? If you have a solution PLS pass it on to me. I am in a very desparate situation.
This morning I can not connect to our SQL Server 7.0 whatever from client or server. The error message which I list below:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A connection could not be estabished to server--Timeout expired Please verfy SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties and try again. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We use windows NT authentication. We did not do any change on NT. The SQL Server daily schedule job usally stoped at 10:00AM, but today from the Window NT Task Manager, we can see that the SQL Server is still running untill now.
hi, I have settup up sql mail and did the following: 1. created an E-mail account and configured Out look by creating a pop3 mail profile. tested it by sending and receiving mail, that is ook 2. I Created one domain account for MSsqlserver and Sql Agent service. both services use same account and start automatically in the control panel-services 3. I used the profile that I created in outlook to test the sql mail but got an error: Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.
I do have a valid email account I do have a valid domain account I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.
Hi, I have 2 windows 2000 server in cluster with sql server 2000 enterprise edition installed.

Hello, I am facing a huge problem in my sql server database using access as a front end.The main problem is trying to execute queries "views" ,since they reside on sql server now,and using variables or parameters in reports and forms to filter on this query. Ex. how can the following be implemented using the same query but in sql server? Access ------ SELECT MAT_Charts.YYYYMM FROM MAT_Charts WHERE ((([Area_Code] & "-" & [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key])) GROUP BY MAT_Charts.YYYYMM;
It is specifically this statement in which I am interested: [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))

Hi,It may sound funny but it is true. I have 2 version of same procedure, 1 is named as "update_aggre" other named as "update_aggre_2" .if I run these procedures using sql jobs the 1st procedure takes 12 seconds and the 2nd takes 2 second. I am stil surprise why is that both of them have same code.Any ideas please?and also I need to have lock mechanism within a procedure so that if some one is calling a procedure which is already called by some one ans is stil working on it the second user shld not be able to overwrite the existing data untill the first one is finished.TIAAmit
The error message is [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState :28000}] Error 18456:[Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'Domainuser'. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
The user is a domain account and already in local administrator group. It also starts up both Sql server & Sql server agent. It can run the same job on another server. I have compared the set up and can't find any differences.
Hi, I have a DTS package that runs correctly when executed manually, but when I schedule a job via the package, the job begins executing and nevers seems to complete the run. The Package runs in less that 1 minute, but the job sticks on executing and does not complete. I have to cancel, any ideas?
I have 12 scheduled daily jobs, all the jobs are depending on one job.I want to run rest all the jobs if and only if the Job#1 gets success.Now all are running independently.Is there a way to force the sequence by using SQL. Thanks!
If we have several jobs running several times daily,do we have to do any clean-up with the logs/job history so that they don't run into any problem later?Will it be o.k if we do not clear off the history frequently?
Hi all, My firm has about 15 SQL Servers. 5 of them are still 6.5 and the other 10 are 7.0. I have noticed that the jobs I have setup to perform maintenance tasks, backups etc. almost never fail in 7.0. Similar tasks routinely fail on the 6.5 servers.
So I did a test. I deleted a database in 7.0 and ran a backup job. Although the log for the job said that it couldn't find the db it still said the job was successful. In 6.5 if you try to run a job on a non-existent db it fails. What's going on in 7.0? What has to happen for a SQL Server agent job to fail. This seems like an awfully dangerous new "feature".
If anyone could shed light on this I would appreciate it.
How do we add DTS pakages to a scheduled job ? Ex: Lets say i have 2 DTS pakages One has got to run immediately after the other. >Now i create a schedule for the main DTS pakage.
>Once i create a schedule, It goes into Jobs as a Scheduled job.
>Now in the propertied part of the first DTS job i need to add a second DTS as Step2, mentioning that it should run after the First DTS.
We had some jobs in Sql server 7.0 which ran together at the same time. Now we have moved to sql 2000 and when we run those jobs together again they just sit up(keep on going without doing anything) and do nothing.I have monitored that there is no Blocking or any kind of Performance Overload.
These jobs run fine when they are executed Individually in Sql 2000

Thanks for the help with moving jobs from one server to another.
Now that I have moved them, they now fail each and all. I have copied the script and saved them as vbs files and placed them in a folder on the server and ran them successfully. I think it has something to do with the rights, but I don't know what. Could someone shed some light on possible causes?

I already learned SQL by reading "Head First SQL" book (which uses MySQL). I also know how to use Excel(using basic function and creating pivot table.) However, I noticed that many available jobs require Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and also using SQL with Excel. Now, I am thinking to learn SQL Server 2005 Express Edition because it is free! I would really appreciate if anyone who has been working in industry give me some suggestions about what is the best way to learn SQL Sever 2005? or does it worth to learn? or is it hard to learn? Can you recommend good book or website for learning SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Thanks!
How is it possible to schedule a job to run every 40 seconds. It seems every 1 minute is the shortest time available in the job properties for scheduling a job. Thanks
