Urgent SQL Jobs Running Very Very Slow
Dec 29, 2001
Hi,
I have SQLServer 6.5 SP5a update running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6
with 4 gig RAM and 4 processor.
Suddenly the SQL 6.5 jobs running on the production server started running very very slow. A job that suppose to run in 30 minutes are running like 2 hours and completing successfully.
(I suspect the after the Norton Anti virus automatic live update may be the reason but not the Second Vulnerability as mentioned by Microsoft Bulletin last week)
I check the SQLServer, ran the performance monitor, checked pagefiles, disk space, databases,memory, tempdb. Everything seems to be normal.
I rebooted the server, checked any other process making that slow. But no use.
Please help me out with this issue as this is a production and the CRM applications from the clients uses the database server.
Thanks in advance,
Anu

DECLARE @num int
SET @num = 0
DECLARE @tableVariable table(ColA int, ColB decimal(18,4))
WHILE @num < 1000
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @tableVariable VALUES (2, 10.56)
SET @num = @num +1
ENDWhen this code is run in SQL Server 2000 Query Analyzer it commits in less than 1 second.
The same code run as a SQLServerAgent job takes 16 seconds.
Similar behaviour appears if INSERT statement is substituted with UPDATE.
SELECT statement runs equally nice on both alternatives.
Has anybody got an idea what might be the reason for slow execution of INSERT and UPDATE in a job?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm using SQL SERVER 7.0. I'm wondering if it is possible to start a job with TSQL from within Query Analyzer?
Thanks,

This is the first time, I am creating a job in SQL server 2000. I have to create few jobs, which can restore the databases at midnight, daily, on the server. We use lite speed backup sofware to take the backup and backup is stored at different location. We have a lite speed script, which we use to restore the backup.
In Job step I have wrote down the script and scheduled the job. But when I try to test the job It never runs. I do not know if something else I am supposed to do after creating a job, even I tried to run it manually it doesnot work.
Please help !!

Hi Sql Pro,
Can u help me answer these 4 questions....
Can u schedule system/user databases backup when they are currently being used..
Does SQL Agent automatically start when u start SQL Server , if not why..?
Yesterday I setup a new server and most of the backup scheduled for midnight failed ...what maybe the reason...?I had set up all jobs as previously...?
What does the red 'X' against each job in the job scheduler indicate..?
Is there anyway u could start SQL Agent automatically ?????
Regards,
Bindu....

I have a backup job which runs on sqll server 2000. About every two weekes the job doesn't complete. I t doesn't fail but just stays at executing until it's stopped. I t then won't run again until the server is rebooted. Anyone any ideas on what might course this. The database is approx 1.5 gig. It backs up between 5 and 8 hours. Normally there should be none or very little access to the database whilst it is backing up. The db is used for an intranet application.Any help much appreciated!Cheers

Jobs not running within SQL Server Agent on SQL7 despite being schedulled. The only explanation
I can think of for causing this is due to a date correction on the NT Server ( backwards ) by the NT Administrator.
I can run jobs manually, but the scheduled run times are being ignored.
I'm hoping that the jobs will start running again as schedulled when the system catches up to the date it was
previously at.
Has anyone had experiences of this and found a way to get things running again ?

I have a DTS package that exports data to a file, then run Win32 process pkzip to compress it to make it 4MB from 30MB so it can be emailed.
As this is to be run daily, I scheduled it, i.e. created a Job.
When running as a Job it fails in the pkzip section. The sqlservice account is not an NT system account for security reasons.
any ideas ?
TIA
Neil.

We have DTS Packages that are scheduled to run nightly and show up in EM under JOBS under SQL Server Agent. A password got changed and some of the nightly jobs blew up.
Went into the Packages and entered the new password and successfully executed the packages BUT when I go back to jobs under the SQL Server Agent, the jobs STILL will not run - they fail with a login failure - as if i never fixed the DTS package. HELP

Hi,
Schedule backup job which usually completes in 1 to 2 minutes, it's been running for over three hours. Meanwhile transact log backup job executed and it's hanging also.
I stopped the jobs, which now shows last run status 'cancelled'. But the spid still exeists in 'current activity' pane with status 'runnable'.
No locks or blocks!
Is there anyway I can get rid of this spids so that I can start backup job again?
It's very urgent..
THanks

Hello,
Does anyone has a script or knows how to find out whether the schedule job completed or not?
If I schedule the job to backup all databases on server and e-mail me when job completes.
But one time the job got stuck and somehow never completed. Is there a way I can schedule the job to see whether the other job completed or not?
Thanks for the Help

I've got the stored procedure which first creates and then starts a job.
This stored procedure can be invoked from a number of triggers (after insert, after update)
The problem is:
when a sequence of statements is being executed one by one (like an insert immediately followed by several updates) and the stored procedure is invoked from the propper insert or update trigger once for each statement, the jobs are created in the right order (first for insert statement, then for updates in the order of the initial statements), but are executed in the wrong order.
Is there any explanation to this? And any solution?
The order of such jobs execution is vital for my application.
Thanx a lot in advance.
Please see the enclosed screenshot for an example list of jobs. Name of the job contains time of it's creation and another column shows the time the job was executed.

I’m trying to write a script that will detect long running agent jobs.
Having looked at this article:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3500276
It appears that agent job job id’s don’t necessarily get stored in the programname of the sysprocesses table. This is true if the agent executes an os command. It also appears that job steps do not get stored in the sysjobhistory until the step is complete so that cannot be used accurately.
Does anyone know of an effective way to find if there are long running jobs other than these methods?

Hi,
Is it possible to make jobs visible to people other than the job owner?
Can jobs run under non-sysadmin account?

Hi,
I'm trying to configure mirroring with High Availability, Automatic Failover.
I know that all the jobs and maintenance plans need to be copied to the mirror server, and enabled if a mirror database takes over the principal role.
I wonder if it is a good solution to have all agent jobs on the Witness server (no jobs on principal and mirror). And all the jobs select the server where they should run (depending on current role).
One of the advantages of this approach would be that the jobs have to be created only once on the witness.
Will this solution work? What are the downsides of it?
Thanks,
Anna Sibirtseva.

When I change the SA password on my server the current Scheduled SQL Jobs no longer work. If I run DTS packages by themselves and not from the Scheduled job window they work fine. I am using the sa as the Owner of the jobs and my SQL Agents services use a Domain Account. If I rebuild the jobs after the sa password is change they work fine. However, I don't want to rebuild 100 jobs every time I change my SA password.How can I fix or get around this problem without rebuilding my jobs?

Hi there,
I've got an urgent thing I need to resolve.
I have a package that has a file connection. We have set the connection in the package for development - we also have the connection in a config file.
We are calling the package from SQL Jobs. In the step we call the package in, we try to set the value for the connection in the Data Source tab. However, the package does NOT use the value we enter.
I then removed the connection from the config file - then the package uses what the connection was set to in development. It still will not use what we enter in SQL Jobs.
Furthermore, when we run the package we lose the values that we put in the DataSource tab!!!!
My work around has been to change the SQL Job type from an INtegration services package to a straight command line - this works.
The question is - can you set a package's connection strings from SQL Jobs using the SSIS Job Type ???
Thanks!!!

I have a dts job set up to transfer 550,000 records from a dbf file into a sql server. If I just let it run, there is a 9-10 minute delay, then it starts. If I try to schedule a job, it fails completely. I looked up ways to get it to execute quicker, mainly going to the advanced tab of the transform arrow and making the inserts 1000 at a time, the table locked, turning constraints off. Any advice on how to speed it up or why the job is failing?

Also, the server CPU usuage is constantly high - more than 80%. It was fine till last week.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem where nothing seems to be wrong with the server, and SQL Server Agent is up and running, but jobs fail. We had a job run at midnight, and it was the last successful run. Every job failed after that, with an error stating "Unable to retrieve steps for job..." There doesn't seem to be any reason for the problem. The jobs were kicked off manually and they all ran.
The only other error messages we could find were in the Application Event Viewer on the server. But the first error happened days ago and said this: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Unable to open shim database version registry key - v2.0.50727.00000."
Since then, every few seconds this error occurred: "Windows cannot load extensible counter DLL MSSQLServerOLAPService, the first DWORD in data section is the Windows error code."
We turned off the performance monitor counters and that error stopped. But we still have no idea if that was the cause of the problem.
This isn't the first time we've had an issue with jobs failing because the steps couldn't be 'found', while SQL Server Agent was up and running.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!

I would like to create an SSIS package in 2005 and run it in 2000. Is there anyway to do this? Or does SQL Server 2000 have a precursor to SSIS? I am trying to create a job to automatically catch and kill orphaned processes.

Hi,
I have a very peculiar problem. I have few CommandExec jobs on SQL Server 7.0 which has been scheduled to execute at a specific time. The jobs are executing properly but, the problem is they stop after the completion. i.e after finishing the jobs they still flash a message "Executing the job" they don't flash the message "Not Running" this is happening only to commandExec jobs, I have also few TSQL jobs which are working properly. I tried even giving the duration (start and stop time) but no use. Has anyone encountered this problem? If you have a solution PLS pass it on to me. I am in a very desparate situation.
Thanks in advance.
