Aug 15, 2007
I have two tables
t_DTM_DATA_STAGING around 2 million records
t_DTM_DATA around 251 million records
The below SQL statement looks for records in the t_DTM_DATA_STAGING table that are not in the t_DTM_DATA table and adds them to a 3rd table. (t_DTM_DATA_STAGING2)
This statement has been running fine for weeks, but now it seems to get hung every day. I ran sp_Who2 and it says the status is runnable. I let it run for around 5 or 6 hours the other day to see if it will finish but it didn't. This SQL job is step 3 in a 6 step SQLAgent job that usually finishes in 30 to 45 minutes.
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. No other jobs are running at the time this job runs.
Could this SQL statement be written a better way?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Unable To View Jobs Even After Adding Users To MSDB Roles SQLAgent...
May 20, 2008Developers need to view and modify jobs on some servers without being sysadmin. We've added the developers to the following MSDB roles:
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole
Technically they should be able to view and modify jobs through Management Studio when being added only to SQLAgentOperatorRole. However they receive the following error when clicking on the Jobs folder regardless of the msdb role.
Execute Permission Denied on Object 'xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Our original two SQL 2005 servers do not produce this message, but all other instances do. All servers, but one, are SP2 so the service pack is not an issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave
Problem With Transferring Jobs In SSIS
Dec 2, 2007I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having with SSIS. I am attempting to move certain sql agent jobs from our older sql 2000 server to our new sql 2005 server and I am receiving the error [Transfer Jobs Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "The specified '@server' is invalid (valid values are returned by sp_helpserver).".
Does my server name need to be the same if I am using SSIS to transfer jobs? Is there a way to update the server name during the execution process?
This seems like it should be a relatively easy task but has not been so far.
Any help is appreciated.
SQLAgent
Feb 11, 2001Hi:
I hope somebody can give me a clue for this problem. Our SQL Server was installed with default option. The SQL Server account is .SQL-Cmdexec. I tried to create two backup jobs to save daily backup files into another server. The SQL Server could not detect that server drive during the database backup set up. I knew that was because the SQL Agent account could not access to that server. I had the following questions:
1. How to grant write right to current SQL Agent account to another backup server?
2. It looks like .SQL-cmdexec is created by SQL Server default installation. If I try to change this account to another account, the Enterprise Manager is the only place to be changed or there is another place keeps SQL Agent account info.
3. If I try to give SQL Agent account access to the other servers, what is the relationship between NT User manager and SQL Agent accounts.
Thanks.

SQLAgent Not Starting
Feb 12, 2002The SQLAgent service was modified to login as a domain account. SQLAgent would not start. I made sure that the account was in the Admin group on the server, I setup the account as a System Administrator in SQL. I made sure that the network protocols in Client Network Utiliity and Server Network Utility where the same as other servers using the domain account. The message I'm getting is...
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
I modified the properties for SQLAgent back to login as local account and I still get the same problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Assistance With SQLAgent
May 9, 2008All,
I have a SQLAgent job created using isqlw to run the query and output the results to a file on the C drive. However, the job never completes, which is strange since the database is fairly new and when I run the query manually in a isqlw window, it completes and outputs the file in seconds.
Any ideas where I'm failing here?

SQLAGENT Xp_sqlmaint Security Bug???
Apr 1, 1999On my account we have very separate authority between the NT system administrators and the SQL DBAs. Routinely in SQL 6.5 we would remove sa authority from the NT administrators group and add this authority to a NT database administrators group which we were members of using SQL Security manager.
We have tried to apply this same method to our implementation of SQL 7.0. We removed the sysadmin role from the BUILTINAdministrators group and added sysadmin to the DatabaseAdmin NT group which the DBAs and SQLAGENT account are members of. This appeared to work fine until we tried to run our database maintenance plans in SQLAGENT. When sysadmin role is revoked from BUILTINAdministrators the jobs in SQLAGENT using xp_sqlmaint fail with "select permission denied to sysdbmaintplans in database 'msdb' owner 'dbo'"
The SQLAGENT login is part of an NT group that has been granted sysadmin role in SQL Server. This should grant full access to SQLAGENT. What's up? Is the xp_sqlmaint using hardcoded security of some kind? I am confused. Any suggestions? We really need to revoke sysadmin from the BUILTINAdministrators group.

SQLAgent Job Loosing Its Owner
Jan 30, 2008
Hi all,
Configuration : MSSQL2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 server
I have a strange issue when scheduling SSIS Job.
When I schedule it, I set the owner as the domain administrator. The scheduled job can be run manually without any problem. The scheduled job run automatically at scheduled time wihtout problem.
But , for an unknow reason, after some cycle, the job failed with the following error :
The job failed. The owner () of <name of the job> does not have server access
As you can see, the owner name is blank.
If I look to the job settings : the owner is still the domain administrator.
If I try to run it manually, the job fails with the same error.
now if I just rename the job name from <name of the job> to <name of the job2> then all problems are solved.
If we let the job failing everyday, sometimes, it starts again to work properly.
We have this issue on 2 jobs.
If anyone has faced this issue : thank you for advise.
Monitoring SqlAgent Job Status
Nov 15, 2007After you've created an SSIS package or multi-package solution, the next step is usually to deploy it to a production environment and schedule it to run at regular intervals. We took this approach at our company and scheduled the master package as a step in a SqlAgent Job. I import the dtsx packages into the server by connecting to the Integration Services connection and importing them into Stored Packages > MSDB. Next, I create a SqlAgent job via the Database Engine connection under SQL Server Agent > Jobs. I then add a step and select "SQL Server Integration Services Package" under the step Type menu. This brings up a powerful dialog that lets you set your production runtime environment parameters for the connection strings, SSIS package variables, config file path, and logging parameters.
As part of my deployment process, I wanted to run the job one time at the end of the build and check the status before deeming the build a complete success. The script is long running (several minutes) so I had to deal with the issue of polling. I had been recently using the WHILE loop in T-SQL and I also found the Waitfor Delay command. I discovered how to get to the job activity via the sp_help_jobactivity extended stored proc. The source for this proc indicates that you can get to the most recent execution of the job, including the currently running job. If the job is running, the run_status column of the resultset is null. Once the job completes, this flag is 0 for failure and 1 for success. I wanted to query the underlying tables directly so I extracted the bare minimum queries to get at the fields that I needed. I provided timeout variables so you can set your desired polling interval and timeout.
I am not sure whether this while/waitfor loop approach is very CPU-intensive or can cause locking problems. I'm hoping it does not. But it's a convenient way to use T-SQL to test for a SqlAgent job status if your build tool supports running a query against a database, which most of them do. You can always use WMI or a .Net app to achieve the same result. If someone has done this already, perhaps you can post your code sample or a link to it as a reply to this thread.
I'm assuming that other DBAs and developers responsible for production deployment and monitoring will find this script useful. I also wouldn't mind if I scored a couple MVP points . One confusion I had to deal with was that sp_help_jobactivity returns a return code of 0 or 1 with the opposite meaning as the run_status column that is in the result set. It took me a little while to figure this out since possible values for run_status were not well-documented.
Enjoy!

There's a command string but that's an ugly beast to code against. Any help is appreciated.

Using CmdExec To Execute Dtexec In Sqlagent
Apr 12, 2008I'm a bit confused. On the command line of the job step property I entered dtexec /SQL... and got an error saying file not found, I assumed dtexec itself couldnt be found. So I tried /SQL .... by itself and got something that looked more like a security error. If I make the step property type "ssis" job appears to run fine, I receive my pkg's on success (rather than on failure) email but I know everything isnt fine because even if no data is ETL'd, first executable is supposed to (and always has in client) insert a row into an audit table and it doesnt. If I set job step "type" to t-sql and simply db email myself with t-sql command, everything is fine.
The first question is "Wouldnt dtexec need to be specified, how else could sqlagent know what I'm trying to run?" If answer is yes, what's wrong with my syntax or environment?
