SQL Server Agent - Job Activity Monitor
Apr 19, 2007
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

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 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.

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

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

Any idea?

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.
Ken

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.

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?

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!

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?

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?

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.
Thomas

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

Hi all,
I have a web page which calls a SQL Agent job to initiate an SSIS package. Is there any way i can monitor the job and detect once it has completed successfully? At present all i can seem to get is the return status of whether the job has started or not.
Any help would be most appreciated,
Many thanks in advance.

when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
Thanks,
Larry

I recently renamed a database with sp_renamedb and created a new db with the same name as the old and restored the data into the new db. I put the old renamed db in single user mode to prevent data from becomming violated. After cycling SQL Server to flush the cache, I opened the floodgates for users. Our support line was full of calls from people saying "I'm getting the error 'Single User Mode in database DBORGINALDBNAME'. Any ideas why the application would be hitting the old database after I renamed and recycled the server?
