Hello everybody,
Can someone tell me if there are any limitation in SQL Server Agent of SQL Server 2005?
I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise R2 with 16GB RAM and SQL Server 2005. However my SQL Agent log say:
"Message
[310] 4 processor(s) and 4096 MB RAM detected"
Any KB related?
thanks a lot
Hi Guys,
Can you please advice me on if there is a limitation on SQL agent Jobs. If then how many jobs can SQL server accomedate.
If there is a limit, then is there are any ways to increase it?
I appreciate your quick response.
Thanks
Hello,
It seems that there is some kind of limitation in SQL Server agent job log. For any job there is not more than 1000 rows of history. This can be seen with the following query:
SELECT j.name, count(*)
FROM sysjobhistory jh,
sysjobs j
WHERE jh.job_id = j.job_id
GROUP BY j.name
HAVING count(*) >= 1000;
How to modify the limitation? We really need more than 1000 rows.

If I install SQL 2005 Standard on Windows 2003 Standard, is SQL limited to 4 gigs of physical RAM?
I'm planning a new system that will run SQL 2005 Standard edition on a Windows 2003 Standard platform. The spec calls for 8 GB of RAM. My experience would lead me to suspect I need to install Windows 2003 Enterprise to take advantage of all the installed memory.
I've searched the forums and found posts stating that there is no connection governer in the 2005 edition, but I am getting connection limitation errors. I have Standard Edition with 25 CALs.
------
A problem occurred when attempting to contact the server (Server returned: Connection reset). Please ensure that the server parameters passed to the driver are correct and that the server is running. Also ensure that the maximum number of connections have not been exceeded for this server.

How can this be?
Thanks!
HI Everyone,
I understand that there is a 4GB size limitation on SQL Server Express edition. right?
What I want to know is what if a database file created in SQL Express is hosted with SQL Server 2005 will the file still have the 4 GB size limitations?
Thanks
Hello,
I am designing a program for work with SQL Server express 2005. But I don't know what is the data storage limit in this version of SQL Server.
What i want is storing about 30000 records in a table of the database.
Hasn't SQL Server express 2005 any problem or restrictions for storing the data?
Please advice in this regards,
Thank you,
Mona
I have developped a package that loads a flat text file into DB.
Runs OK from SQL BI Studio.
When I run it from SQL IIS, I have the following error message
"Erreur, le niveau de produit est insuffisant pour composant <<file IN>>"
that let me think this FLATTEXT ConnectionManager is only in SQL 2005 Enterprise version?
Can you help?
Just to be clear, I would like to know if a problem I face is due to an error on my part or a limitation on Microsoft's. In my experience (several hours-long installations, removals, reinstallations, using the skuupgrade=1 parameter from the command line, ad nauseum) I have concluded that the best one can do installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition from the Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition package is to get the Express Edition, (actually styled MSSMLBIZ). In particular, what I'm hoping to be able to do is program to a test database that I have from my client, which I was able to do on my XP Professional machine. But on my new Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine (which will only let me install the x64 version of SQL Server 2005), I get an instance that is characterized as SQL Server Express and generates the following error message when I try to attach to the same MDF file to which I was able to attach under my prior, XP-Pro based configuration:

The Developer Edition, of course, is supposed to enable us to program to all levels of the database, and I would hate to think it is really crippled in this way, but after uninstalling everything, reinstalling multiple times (devoting several days to the process), it sure beats me how I can overcome this problem short of going back to my old machine. Any definitive answers on this apparent limitation, or useful procedural advice on installation quirks, would be appreciated (and, yes, I've spent a lot of time going through the installation/setup forum -- if the answer is there I can't find it).
Question:
Can the SQL 2005 express edition can be installed on a machine that has more than 1 GB memory?
If so, is the SQL 2005 express edition will be using memory upto 1 GB?
Hello,
Say that I have 100,000 attributes/feature selections for my SQL Server Neural Network Algorithm.
Customer Attr1 Attr2 Attr3 ..... Atr100000
==============================
Jack 1 0 1 ..... 1
Sam 0 1 1 ...... 0
Mary 1 1 0 ...... 1
Knowing the fact I can't fit those info on a table and SQL Server's Neural Network does not support table prediction . What's an alternative to use Neural Network in SQL Server 2005 to solve my problem?
Please assist!

I have got a backup maintenance plan, and I want to output to a file if it has been a success or fail. I was using sp_help_jobhistory and relying on the run_status to determine if it succeeded(1) or failed(0). I have found this to be unreliable compared with the report which is in the SQL Agent Log File Viewer.
I assume this has to be stored some where, how do I access the table where this is stored? So i can return the results of my maintenance plan from SQL Agent.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
How do I install the SQL client on another machine? I've done this in previous versions but things have changed a bit. I'm using the developer edition.

I m using SQL Server Job Agent to execute my SQL Server Integration Package. When I execute this job, the status of the job is shown as 'Between tries' and the job get hanged. I searched through the msdn. The solution provided is specific to SQL Server 2000. I am not able to get the solution for SQL Server 2005. Could someone please tell me the reason behind this problem?

Hi,
I created an RMO script to generate a republishing replication (A to B then B to C). Because I don't want to start the B to C replication until the A to B replication is complete, I start the Snapshot and the Merge processes synchronously (vs. asynchronously). If I ran them asynchronously, I'd need to put in logic to loop-check the completion status of the Merge agent job before kicking off the B to C process.
In the Snapshot agent, this means running .GenerateSnapshot(); (vs. StartSnapshotGenerationAgentJob)
and in Merge agent this means running .SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize(); (vs. SynchronizeWithJob)
I notice that the Snapshot agent never shows a LastRun or LastRun Outcome even though the snapshots are being generated. I haven't tested the other scenario (asynchronous), but I presume they would register the LastRun columns because, as I read it, they use the SQL Agent jobs to accomplish their work.
Does anyone have RMO code that I could add to plug this information into whatever system table (?) somehow?
I'll put this in the SMO/RMO forum too.

Does SQL Server 2005 Express have a SQL Agent? If so, can someone tell me where I would find it? If not, can someone tell me if there is a replacement for it or some kind of work around?
Thanks,

Hi - I know SQL Server 2005 Express comes with no agent, so how do people using it, currently backup their databases?
eg. I currently use MSDE in a live environment (small user base), and I use the Agent/Jobs to create a backup each night.
How could I achieve the same with the SQL Server 2005 Express?
Thanks for any help,
Mark
I have a job scheduled to run daily every hour. If I log on to the server the jobs runs sucessfully but if I log off the job fails. I have scheduled a SSIS package to run as a job.. pLease help...
I am using SQL Server 2005. and a proxy account to run the job. I treid to run the job as One Time only and it runs sucessfuly.
I am running windows 2003 and sql server 2005. i am following the directions in books online:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand Services, and then click SQL Agent.
In the results pane, right-click any instance, and then click Start.
A green arrow on the icon next to the SQL Server Agent and on the toolbar indicates that SQL Server Agent started successfully.
Click OK.
the problem is i have nothing in Services. there is nothing to expand.
is it installed wrong?? or is there another step before this that i have to do??
Hi all, This is my first message in this forum and I am a new bie to SQL server 2005.. I am trying to schedule the backup job for a database in 2005 and I am not able to figure out where it is. I browsed through few topics in the forums and found that I can do using sql server agent in the SQL server management studio. But I do not see the sql server agent in the management studio. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks all!
Hello,
I've got two problems when attempting to set up SQL Server 2005 Agent. Any help on either of these would be greatly appreciated.
1.) When I go into properties of SQL Server Agent and then to history. I check the Automatically remove agent history checkbox and set the time delay, but it doesn't stay checked when I exit and look again. Does anyone know how to fix this or even better the specific registry key I can change to force it? I believe it is in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server(Instance)SQLServerAgent
2.) On SQL Server Agent properties in General I have changed the location of the log file so instead of D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGSQLAGENT.OUT it is E:SQLLogsSQLAGENT.OUT However when I go through Management Studio to view them it says "Unicode File Expected", even though SQL Server is creating the files and automatically rolling them over (I do have Write OEM error log and include execution trace messages checked and am logging Errors, Warnings and Information).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have been having a problem with an attempted install of sp2 (the updated one) and don't have a clue on how to get past it. Here is the error that I get
MSP Error: 29537 SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_is_sqlagent_starting' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server.
What is strange is that I have ensured that the Agent XP's are enabled prior to the sp install by checking the agent xp's configuration option but it seems as though during the sp install it disables them and encounters problems when trying to start the SQL Agent resulting in a failure of the sp install with the message shown above.
When I check the database after the failure, it does show the AgentXP's as being disabled. I've re-enabled them multiple times with the same result.
The sp is being installed on a 2 node cluster but only one node is having the problem, the other upgraded fine. I have also had this problem on a single non-clustered server with 3 instances where two of them installed fine but one didn't, it too had the same error message.
My basic configuration is as follows:
x64 Windows 2003 Standard Edition R2
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (for the clustered server) Dev Edition for the standalone server
Any thoughts on how to get past this problem or is this a bug?

Help! I'm starting to think that the only solution is to uninstall sql server 2005 and reinstall.
please help me, i need to know if i need to purchase a sql agent for veritas backup exec. i am using the sql msde version only, not the full scale version. any help would be great.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello.I have loaded SQL 2005 Express (from the web) with SQL ServerManagement Studio Express. I suspect this means that the "SQL ServerAgent" is not available. This "SQL Server Agent" comes with SQL 2000(even the free version of MSDE 2000 has this feature). This agent isuseful for scheduling jobs (in conjunction with the availableEnterprise Manager).So my problem is how do I schedule jobs with this product? It isrunning on the XP OS.Regards JC.......
View 1 Replies View RelatedWho needs to invoke the jobs in SQL05? Manually executing the job import_myteam as a user with dbo privileges fails. So, which user account should be assigned to successfully run scheduled jobs (ie, dbo)?
The package file for the job in question is located in the server€™s C:Documents and SettingsuserxyzMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsIntegration Services Project3Integration Services Project3MyTeam (1).dtsx, but this still fails when the user userxyz is logged on and is executing the job directly from the server console.
Step1 of the package executes as userxyz
Step 2 fails and runs as cpmc-casql02
The user account userxyz has administrator rights to the server as well as being a sysadmin of the SQL2005 database (named cpcasql02).
The account cpmc-casql02 is a €śpublic€? user of the database and is a member of the administrator group on the server itself.
This same scenario carries for tasks as simple as truncating a table and importing the contents of another table in the same database.
All of these jobs exhibit the same behavior whether run directly from the server console on remotely from a workstation connected to the SQL2005 database.
Attempting to get a really simple job working, we also created a very simple SSIS package which does a select from a database table and writes the output to a text file. When running the same package from the user€™s workstation within Visual Studio, the package executes successfully. Once copied to the server, and run from within SQLServer as MyJunePackage however, the execution fails in the same manner as described above. The first step executes successfully as the logged-in user and the second fails executed under the account cpmc-casql02.
So, again we have the same behavior of sequential steps being run as different users with unsatisfactory results. Please advise as to how to set up these jobs to run correctly and consistently.
Thanks very much,Eric W
Hello, hoping someone might be able to help.
I've set up Database Mail on an instance of 2005 and the test mail works just fine. However, when testing a job (notify on fail, success, whatever) the mail fails to send. Job History last information reads NOTE: Failed to notify 'My Name' via email.
Checked out the Database Mail logs - nothing interesting.
Restarted the Agent service and then checked out the current Agent Log. Found message:
[260] Unable to start mail session (reason: No mail profile defined).
The 'DatabaseMailProfile' key is most certainly defined in the Registry
(at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1SQLServerAgent')
I'm at a loss...why is it telling me no mail profile defined?
I'd be most grateful for any help if anybody else has run across this problem.
Cheers,

I have six stored procedures that I have to run hourly during the day. When I schedule them into separate SQL jobs (they must run concurrently), the percent CPU of Sqlagent90.exe process goes way up, eventually pegging out the overal CPU usage on the server. When I run the six stored procedures concurrently from query windows in SQL Server Management Sudio, the overall CPU usage stays very low.
Is there something about the SQL Server Agent that inherently adds CPU overheard? Thanks in advance ....
Hello:
Does anyone know if there is a way to get SQL 7.0 to recognize 8 GB of RAM? The MS knowledgebase does not list anything usefull. On a test machine we upgraded the os from NT4 to Win2000 Advanced Server and SQL 7 will only recognize 4GB. We could goto SQL2000 but that is not supported with our current apps.
Thanks,
If there is a need to add a new column to the table, how would you do it to add it to an EXISTING report using RB? I don't want to create a new RB report. I want to add the new column to an existing RB report.
p.s. Anybody knows how to replace a Report Model on the report server when re-deploying it? Currently I manually delete the Report Model and re-deploy it onto the server. Otherwise, it gives me an error for duplicate IDs. Is there a switch that can be turned on? Thanks.
Is there any built-in way of kicking off a job on SQL Server 2005 Agent whenever a package/job completes in Oracle?
Are there any (Triggers? Msft queue? Event Notification?) mechanisms to automate running a job on the SQL side?
Any article or knowledge articles would be appreciated also.
If not are there any built-in stardardized polling techniques? Or are there any timers in SSIS?
That way I can delay executing a child package until a certain record has been inserted into a control table in Oracle.
I don't want to write an inefficient for loop that blocks all other processing on the server and iterates once every second.
Thanks
Hi,
I have an SSIS package designed to copy across a file from local machine to a location on the network.
The SSIS package works fine when I run it directly run it in the Designer, ie, it copies over the file to the network.
But when I run the package through the Job server agent, it fails giving me a validation error on the network path..
Does it have to do with the permissions of the User account used here? Could anyone please provide any information on this....
Thanks
