When I run sp_delete_job to delete the whole job inside,
will the job steps, job schedules and job servers of that job will be deleted automatically also?
so, do i need to run sp_delete_job only?
or need sp_delete_jobstep, sp_delete_jobschedule and sp_delete_jobserver also?
Hi all,
I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service.
What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?)
What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Thanks in advanced!

What is the best way to monitor , if the SQL Server Agent is running or not and send out an EMail if the any of the SQL Server Services stops?
Thx

Here is an odd one:
I switched my SQLSERVERAGENT service to use the Local System Account.
I stopped and restarted the service.
Both the Services window and Enterprise Manager show the SQL Server Agent is running. But when I try kicking off a job I get the following message:
Error 22022: SQLServerAgent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action.
Any clues as to why the agent could be running, but not know that it is running?
Hi all,
I'm new to sql server administration so please show some understanding!
I installed sql server 2000 personal edition (upgrated to sp4) on an windows xp pro OS, but I cannot get the sql server agent service running. I get a message " the service did not start due to a logon failure". The server is my local pc, I'm using windows authentication and the login is "domain/loginname" where domain is my pc name.
Does it have to be installed on a server OS to have this service running?
Thanks George
I'm thinking of using SQL Server Agent Service for my PDA app. But, I want to use different accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent Service. How can we do this in SQL Server 2005? Do we do this when installing it? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Win 2003 server running 3 instances of SQL 2000 Enterprise.
The problem is I can only start 2 of the 3 Job Agents at a time, as the 3rd gets stuck in a starting state.
Has anyone struck this problem before?
Thanks.
What sort of things would it interact with to justify having this ticked as the sqlserver.exe seems to be consuming all the CPU constantly and some suggestions have said that having this ticked can cause a performance issue.

I am trying to upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server 2005 Standard. I get to the service authentication window and hit my first problem. On that window, there is a dropdown box where you should be able to choose the default instance service AND the SQL Server Agent service and set the authentication information for both of those services. That's the way it is in my test environment. However, on my production server, when I click that dropdown box, only the instance appears, and not the agent. Why?
I tried the upgrade this past weekend and ran into this problem. After researching it and not finding anything out about it online, I decided to just go forward anyway since I had lots of backups and copies of everything. The upgrade appeared to go ok, but the agent service wouldn't start. It gave the usual message when you try to start a service that doesn't have anything to do, like the Performance Logs and Alerts service. When I looked at the agent in SQL Server Management Studio, it had (Agent XPs Disabled) next to it. So I researched this and found how to enable it. For some people online, this allowed them to start the agent service, but of course that didn't work for me. Finally in my research online I found that some individuals had a lot of missing system tables in their MSDB and Master databases after the upgrade due to some of the SQL scripts that are part of the upgrade process not running properly. So I compared my system tables and SP's against another SQL 2005 instance I have, and sure enough, there appears to be a lot of missing tables. It was at that point I decided to just restore everything and try again later.
My point in writing that second paragraph is to ask if that was all due to the fact that the SQL Server Agent wasn't listed in the upgrade wizard like it should have been? Or maybe the fact that it wasn't in that dropdown box was evidence of a deeper problem? Is it likely that if I do whatever it is I need to do to make the agent appear in the upgrade wizard that my missing system tables and agent service not starting problems would probably not be an issue anymore? And why would the agent not be appearing in the upgrade wizard?
Thanks for your help!
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 ....

View 5 Replies View Relatedhi, can anyone explain, how to execute package with sql server agent:
the problem is::
i made a integration service package (in visual studio 2005). When I 'm in visual studio and do "execute" the package it works well. Then I build a dtsx file. When i double click on it, it opens and if i do execute, it works well.
I want to execute the package every week automatically. I write a job in SQL server agent, in Steps I choosed Type=SQL server Integration service packege, then General->packacge source -> file system, and then wrote where the dtsx file is (which was built). "Run as" I choose my user name.
then i'm trying to start a job, but it fails, and writes "The package execution failed."

Hello Sir,
Now I'm choosing Trasactional publication as my publication type. I now can successfully replicate the data from publisher to subscriber without any error.
But now my question is what is the usage of snapshot agent? When I go to Replication Monitor > Agents > Snapshot Agents > Start Agent but failed.
I need to check with you whether the way I start the snapshot agent was not correct? What is the effect if I drop snapshot agent during the replication and DBUpdate are running?
Please kindly help me .
Thank You.
Hello,
I've got a couple of jobs who have a odbc connection to a AS400 machine. But when these jobs run they won't stop anymore. I've got to stop these jobs manually so that the next day the jobs can start again as scheduled. The jobs did run all the packages succesfully. Does somebody know how this is possible? It did work fine but since a couple of weeks they just won't stop anymore. I hope you can help me! :S

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have two servers, one production server and one backup server which have transactional replication with a pull subscription.
When I configure replication, it works fine during our test weekends testing production load. After tests, replication looks fine for a random number of days. Then, all of a sudden, an error message is displayed on one of the agents: "The agent is suspect, no response within 10 minutes." This has happened a number o times. If I remove replication and configures it again, it always works. Sometimes it works by just updating one of the tables and the error message disappears. The last time (today) that did not work. Updating the database did not replicate and the error message remained.
Has anyone experienced this same problem and has a god solution. One thing that is common is that the error message appears after long times of inactivity on the servers, or perhaps after a restart but that I am not sure about.
Question 1: How can I prevent this error message?
Question 2: Are there any special things to think about when I need to restart the servers and replication is configured, e.g. after installing updates from Windows Update.
I would be very grateful for any answers regarding this.
Best,

Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.

Hi,
We have replication setup on a sql server 2000. We encountered issue that the distribution agent goes down (distrib.exe stop running) in the event of network connection broken. We would like to know:
is this the expected result that the distribution agent will go down in the event of communication failure between the distribution server and subscriber server?
if not, is there a way to programmatically control and restart the agent?
Is there any sp in SQL server which can monitor the replication communication error message?
is there any sp in SQL server which can be run to restart the agent?
For the best practice, what do you think we can do to achieve an €˜event-driven€™ kind of mechanism so when an communication breaks, the agent can be restarted by the triggered event (or at least a simple way to automatically restart)?
Thanks

I would like to call a web service from a sql server 2000 s.proc/sql job, but if there is a better way please let me know. I'm using Captaris Workflow to create and manipulate workflow processes. I have a sql job that will create some pdf's. I want to call the web service that creates a new process in a step from that sql job. I have read about doing this with extended s.procs, but I'm trying to find any possible solutions. Essentially, the web method I want to call will insert several records into sql so I know I can at least do that. I would still like to know if I can make a call to the web service from the sql job. Thanks for any help.
