Urgent - Scheduled Job Having Multiple Steps
Dec 17, 2004
Hi,
Previously I was performing the process of populating my DataMart and then processing my cubes via 2 separate job scheduled one after the other and with about 30 minutes idle time in-between (just in case).
I now have tried to make a single job with both of the above as 2 steps (one after the other) of a single job.
However when I was done, I did a right click and tried to run the newly created job but instead of what I was hoping (that the job would start, would perform the 1st step, followed by the 2nd), it instead popped up a dialog box asking (I think) which step needs to be executed :(
Is there a solution so that when the job is scheduled to run, it should start performing the steps in the order rather than waiting for someone to select which step to perform.
Will really appreciate urgent reply.

Hi,
I have two job J1 and J2, each one has 10 steps. Now I want J2 to be the 11th step of J1 and I did not want manually type all the steps of J2 to be 11-20 step of J2. Is there an easy way through TSQL to do this ?
sp_add_jobstep only works when the step is OS command or a script but not a job

My end game is to automate some of my monthly queries in a Job in SQL Server Agent. Right now I have two metric tables. One table is the name and comment with the PK. The secondary table is attributes/detail, such as reporting month, target and actuals.
I am currently running all different types of queries to get the aggregates. I'd like to get these into a job so it would run automatically and update the reporting table.
Would you recommend making one step or multiple steps for each query? I am trying to use an intelligent approach to begin to load the tables.

How can I make this work?
I have two process steps in a package and one failure step. Both process steps have On Failure workflows to the failure step. The problem I'm having is that it seems if two or more workflows go to the same failure step then neither go to the failure step, but it does go if only one process step is attached to it.
I know I can create duplicate steps for each process step, but I was hoping to be able to do it this way FMI.
Thanks for your assistance.

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

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?

Please help,
I have a DTS package that consist of approximately 50 steps which pulls data from an as400 and populates a SQL 7.0 database. The package works perfect flawlessly when executed manually but won't run when scheduled.
The DTS package starts but hangs when it tries to connect to the as400, this is where the problem lies. The preceeding steps work fine but they execute against the SQL 7.0 database. I have client access installed on the server and configured. I checked and made sure the SQL server agent service was started and running also,I just can't figure why it works fine manually,but not when scheduled.
Any help would be welcome...

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.

I can easily query multiple servers using the multi-server query function in Central Management Server and write some of the results to logging tables. I would like to be able to do this via a scheduled job. So far I am finding that even setting up Master/Target Servers this may not work and the only workaround is either using SSIS, SQLCMD (by basically hard coding the servername) and possibly Powershell.
tell me if they have been successful just using standard jobs and querying against multiple servers?
If I can't save the results to a 'central' database/table (I can do this when in SSMS), but can still query against multiple servers I was thinking I could write the results to a CSV file that a SSIS job picks up.
I have attempted using SSIS to iterate through servers and have been plagued with intermittent connection issues when using a For...Loop container.

I have a windows-based application that I use to manage fitness events (road races, mountain bike races, etc.). I have the application set up on multiple computers for three reasons:
1) We often manage multiple events on the same day, and
2) I back-up race data during the event in case of catastrophic data loss/hard drive crash/etc.
3) I am trying to set up the possibility of letting race participants sit down and enter their registration data on a laptop to save our staff (generally me) from having to enter several hundred ourselves on the morning of the event.
That is the scenario. Here is the problem: the entire system works very well on our domain/network but when I take the system to a remote site and set up a work-group it is not reliable in the sense that it sometimes works but other times times out.
For instance, lets say a participant sits down at computer 1 and enters their data. The data is sent to sql server on computer 2 via a vb6 windows application. And a registration form is printed out on a computer connected to computer 2 and shared amongst all of the workgroup computers. In some cases it works but generally speaking it times out. Often times if I set the workgroup up at my location it will work but not at a remote location. Several of the computers have wireless capability which I use at home but not at the race site. I connect to the workgroup via cat 5, etc...
The thing that frustrates me is that it works at home but not on the road. Are there any sql server gurus that can point me in the right direction? I REALLY need to get this resolved.
Thanks in advance~

Hi. I want to return multiple rows into a single row in different columns. For example my query returns something like thisThe query looks like thisSelect ID, TYPE, VALUE From myTable Where filtercondition = 1ID TYPE VALUE1 type1 121 type2 152 type1 16 2 type2 19Each ID will have the same number of types and each type for each ID might have a different value. So if there are only two types then each ID will have two types. Now I want to write the query in such a way that it returnsID TYPE1 TYPE2 VALUE1 VALUE21 type1 type2 12 152 type1 type2 16 19Type1, Type2, Value1, and Value2 are all dynamic. Can someone help me please. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I have a job which runs DTS packages (1 package per step). When a task fails within my DTS package, I'd like an error returned for that step in the job thus stopping the job and not starting up the next step (DTS package) in the job. As it stands right now, if a task fails within the DTS package, that step in the job still returns a successful completion. Has anyone seen this before and is there something I can do to get the DTS to send a failure for that step in the job?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin

I am going to be moving multiple databases to a new server. Everything should go smooth, but I need to change a lot of the DTS packages that reference the old servername and replace it with the databases DNS record.
Is there an easy way to get a list of which dts reference the old server explicitly (not using database DNS)?
Thanks.

Hello,
Can anybody tell me how many steps it's possible to put in one job.
The reason I ask is that we have a job that has over 500 steps (import data from Excel file into SQl table) and every time it runs we have different steps failures.
Does fact, that excel file was dropped and recreated, change DTS Id ?
Thank you in advance

Here is an interesting problem I can't figure out. I have a job with 6 steps as follows:
Step 1 - Import text file 1
Step 2 - Import text file 2
Step 3 - Delete all data from address tables 1 and 2
Step 4 - Copy data from imported table 1 to address table 1
Step 5 - Copy data from imported table 2 to address table 2
Step 6 - Delete imported taxt file table 1 and 2
Now when I run each of these steps individually, like running the dts packages and stored procedures my self it all works fine and the data in my tables appears to update. Then, when I set the job to run automatically, it says completed and no errors but my data hasn't updated. The job must be doing what it is meant to as it took about 40 seconds which is normal.
Ever seen this problem before?

Hello,
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and new hardware have been ordered for our department. We currently run SQL Server 2000 (sp4). We have almost 500 DTS packages, 293 Jobs, and 14 user databases with hundreds of objects within.
Is there any documentation out there on how to scrutenize a current system? I have searched, and most of what I can find addresses migration planning with the assumption that the databases, packages, jobs, security, etc are ready to move over. We have a lot to think about before we can do that. We know we have redundancy problems (like View proliferation), table schema issues, obsolete DTS packages and Jobs, and otherwise a host of opportunities to 'clean house' and/or improve. We would really like to get a handle on what we are migrating before we migrate.
If you have any ideas or resources to you feel would be worth looking at, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Generally speaking when you want to optimise an application that relies on a database which is the order of the following optimization techniques
a) optimizing the spread of the pysichal elements of the database on different disks of the server
b) optimizing the use ot the RAM
c) optimizing the SQL
d) opimizing the OS
Thank you,

I've created SQL Server Agent jobs through management studio on SQL Server 2005. I can view and edit these jobs when I am logged into the server via remote desktop, but when trying to administer these jobs through Management Studio on a different machine, the steps do not appear in the job properties window.
Anybody else see this behavior? Know why it occurs? Is it a bug, or another wonderful "feature" of Manglement Studio?

i have setup a sql job with 4 steps
1-checkdb
2-indexdefrag
3-sp_updatestats
4-email notification.
if 1,2 success go next step
if 1,2,3 fails go step 4
if 3, 4 success quit with success
if 4 fails quit with failure
i created a script and pasted it in production server and i get this msg:
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
how can i fix it? I think the error is due to step 4 not executing before calling it from stepe 1,2,3

I am migrating the SQL Server 2K instance from Windows 2000 server to Windows 2003 Server on a new box.
After restoring the database is there any tasks to be done to make sure the performance is not compromised.
For example... updating the statistics.....
Likewise are there any tasks that I need to run after the successful migration.

What in SSIS replaces DTS Task Steps? In DTS you could build tasks and assign them an order in which to execute. How is this replaced in the SSIS Control Flow. Thanks.
