SQL Server Agent: Job Not Working

May 7, 2007

I created a job using the SQL Server Agent of type Operating System Command (CmdExec). The command was to open a web page that will execute a series of batch programs. I tried running the job I created several times and according to the history of the job, it was successful. However, I checked the supposed changes to some records in the database and no changes were done. I also checked the trace log of the web page but there was no information logged.

I'm convinced that the problem is not on the web page since when I tried manually opening the web page through the browser, the changes were done successfully.

For reference, below is the script of the job:

USE [msdb]
GO
/****** Object: Job [try] Script Date: 05/05/2007 11:06:58 ******/
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DECLARE @ReturnCode INT
SELECT @ReturnCode = 0

BEGIN
EXEC @ReturnCode = msdb.dbo.sp_add_category @class=N'JOB', @type=N'LOCAL', @name=N'[Uncategorized (Local)]'
IF (@@ERROR <> 0 OR @ReturnCode <> 0) GOTO QuitWithRollback

END

DECLARE @jobId BINARY(16)

Tansact-sql Not Working From Server Agent

Mar 21, 2008



I will try to explain this the best I can and even include the code. I have the following:


DECLARE @x XML

SELECT @x =cast(bulkcolumn as XML)

FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:databasexmldtdyahoostore3.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x

USE yahoostore

-- create a table variable

CREATE TABLE PRODUCTS (ProductID VARCHAR(255), Code varchar(255), ProductDesc VARCHAR(255), Url VARCHAR(255),

Orderable varchar(255), Taxable varchar(255), HTMLPath varchar(255),

Caption varchar(255), Thumb varchar(255), Picture varchar(255),

BasePrice varchar(255), LocalizedBasePrice varchar(255), OriginalPrice varchar(255), LocalizedOriginalPrice varchar(255),

SalePrice varchar(255), LocalizedSalePrice varchar(255),

Availability varchar(255), Weight varchar(255), OptionLists varchar(255))



INSERT INTO Products (ProductID, Code, ProductDesc, Url, Orderable, Taxable, HTMLPath,

Caption, Thumb, Picture, BasePrice, LocalizedBasePrice, OriginalPrice, LocalizedOriginalPrice,

SalePrice, LocalizedSalePrice, Availability, Weight, OptionLists)



SELECT

x.value('@Id[1]','varchar(255)') AS id,

x.value('Code[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS code,

x.value('Description[1]','VARCHAR(255)') as description,

x.value('Url[1]','VARCHAR(255)') as url,

x.value('Orderable[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS orderable,

x.value('Taxable[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS taxable,

x.value('Path[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') as htmlpath,

x.value('Caption[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') as caption,

x.value('Thumb[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS thumb,

x.value('Picture[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS picture,

x.value('(Pricing/BasePrice)[1]', 'MONEY') AS baseprice,

x.value('(Pricing/LocalizedBasePrice)[1]', 'MONEY') AS localizedbaseprice,

x.value('(Pricing/OriginalPrice)[1]', 'MONEY') AS originalprice,

x.value('(Pricing/LocalizedOrignalPrice)[1]', 'MONEY') AS localizedoriginalprice,

x.value('(Pricing/SalePrice)[1]', 'MONEY') AS saleprice,

x.value('(Pricing/LocalizedSalePrice)[1]', 'MONEY') AS localizedsaleprice,

x.value('Availability[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS availability,

x.value('Weight[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') AS weight,

x.value('OptionLists[1]', 'VARCHAR(255)') as optionlist





FROM @x.nodes('/StoreExport/Products/Product') s(x)

--SELECT * FROM Products


This workings fine, but when I add it to the server agent to run nightly it fails.

The only thing I see for the error is:
Message
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1934). The step failed.

Can some one explain what happened and how to fix this

Working Query Refuses To Run In SQL Agent Job

Nov 16, 2007

Hi, I am in need of help,

I have a couple of queries that i run on my server but i need to automate them now. I have created a new job in the sql agent jobs and set up my steps accordingly.

My queries all run in a query window without trouble and they also parse in the command window of the sql agen job-step screen. When I run them manually, it fails with the first query moaning about my variables etc etc.


Is there some sort of limitation that i am not aware of or something?

SQL Agent Not Working Correctly, Returns 14266

Jun 2, 2004

exec msdb..sp_help_jobhistory @mode = 'SUMMARY'
Server: Msg 14266, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_jobhistory, Line 79
The specified '@mode' is invalid (valid values are: SUMMARY, FULL, SEM).

When I double-click to open a job in EM, I get the same error message, but with a different content:

Error 14266: The specified '@class' is invalid (valid values are: JOB, ALERT, OPERATOR).

Any suggestions.

Execute Sql Server Agent Job Task - Job Immediately Returns Success... However Agent Job Is Still Running???

Nov 30, 2006

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

Snapshot Agent &&amp; Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.

Nov 30, 2006

Hi All,

I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!

I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.

I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.

If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.



Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent

May 18, 2007

I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.

For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).

This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"

Any ideas???





Also this domain account is a member of

Some Things Not Working In 2005 And Working In 2000

Mar 3, 2006

hi

I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'

when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.

Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???

any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?

Thanks in advance.

ReadWriteDeleteMessageFile FAILURE With SQL Server Mobile Server Agent Diagnostics

Jul 31, 2007

Hi all.

Is there a difference with sql replication between sql server 2005 64bit and sql server 2005 32bit?
Both are on a Windows 2003 server. One is 32 bit and the other one is 64 bit.
The first time I set up sql replication (test environment), it was on a 32 bit sql server. This worked fine.
The second time I wanted to set up replication (live environment), it was on a 64 bit sql server. This didn't worked fine.


I can't call the sqlcesa30.dll file on the 64bit server with IIS. So I called the dll via a remote IIS server.
This worked but gave me the following error when calling the following URL:
http://domain/PDASYNC/sqlcesa30.dll?diag

Has anyone any idea what else to check? Or is sure that I must have done something wrong?

Ssis Package Can't Connect To Pop Server Over The Internet From Sql Server Agent

Sql server agent is running under a domain account that is a member of administrators and domain users amongst others, and the package is executed as the service account. Connecting to servers on the same domain works and when I run it from the msdb package store in ssis (ssis runs under the network service account ...) it will connect to the pop server as well. Permissions, fiddly proxies .. the answer's out there somewhere

Using SQL Server Agent

Aug 7, 2002

Is it possible to schedule a job to automatically send e-mails based on criteria in a database table, maybe using CDONTS? I don't want to use SQLMail, since my administrator has not set that up. Also, I don't want to write the code in an ASP page for the following reason: If the page is not being viewed at the time I want the e-mail to be sent, it won't work. Besides, it's not efficient to have to read this code for no reason every time a page is loaded in the hopes someone loads it at the correct time. Any suggestions?

Need immediate help trying to figure this message out. We are having immediate problems trying to start the SQLServer Agent, the service that runs the Scheduled Tasks and needs to be reset if NT connectivity has been interrupted to keep SQL Mail on-line, is not responding and generating the following message. All DBAs that might know something about this problem, would you please respond immediately. We can't have our SQL Server Agent down and not responding.

In SQL Server 2000, how can I set up SQL Server Agent to automatically start up when SQL Server starts up ? I do NOT want these to start up when the OS starts (so setting them to automatic in Control Panel Services is no good). When I shut down SQL Server the SQL Server Agent does automatically shut down too but I cannot get it to start up.

SQL Server Agent

I am running 3 instances of SQL2000 SP3a on a windows 2000 server. Over the weekend, the server was restarted due to security patches being applied. All 3 instances are setup the same (Automatically start SQL Server Agent when restarting server). The 2 named instances started the agent fine but the default instance did not. There are no errors in the log. When I started it manually this morning, it started fine with no errors. Does anyone have any idea why the agent would not have started automatically?

SQL Server Agent Job

May 12, 2008

Lets say I have a SQL Server Agent job that has several steps. For our example lets say 2 steps. Each step executes stored procedures with output parameters like so:

Step 1: EXECUTE <db>.<schema>.<proc A> @outputVar=@outputVar OUTPUT
Step 2: EXECUTE <db>.<schema>.<proc A> @inputVar=@outputVar

Is it possible to pass the @outputVar variable as an input to the procedure in step 2?
