Using The SQL Server Agent For The First Time
Sep 14, 2006
I have set up several jobs to run automatically throughout the day. Each job just does one thing: executes an SSIS package.
The packages themselves run perfect when I test them in Visual Studio 2005, but when the SQL Server Agent tries to run the job I am getting failed jobs.
Is there any tutorials or walkthroughs that can teach my about using the SQL Server Agent? If I wanted extensive help troubleshooting my SQL Server Agent problems which part of the message boards would I post that too?
Thanks for the info!

Hello !
I just encountered a problem with snapshot replication or, if more detailed, with snapshot agent.
My environment consist of W2K Server (sp1) and SQL Server 7.0 (sp2)
The issue is when I create publication and then start snapshot agent for initial creation of schema and articles, it fail with the error:
"An exception occurred in the Snapshot subsystem. The step failed."
Event Log registers this error with the following message:
-------------------
"Step 2 of job --- () has caused an exception in the Snapshot subsystem and has been terminated"
-------------------
the step 2 in REPL-Snapshot job is "Run Agent"
Once more detail. The metter is that this occurs not consistently but from time to time. Some publications succeed in snapshot process but others don't. And else, if I want to manually run snapshot agent for the second time after successful completion for the first, I get the same error.
Any idea?????
Thanks in advance

In SQL 2000 you can schedule a job to run each time the agent starts. I don't see that option now in 2005.
Does anyone know what happened to that or how to achieve that. I could do a stored proc with the proc option I guess but why did they remove that functionality or maybe I am not seeing it.
Thanks

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

We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?

Is there a way to keep track in real time on how long a stored procedure is running for? So what I want to do is fire off a trace in a stored procedure if that stored procedure is running for over like 5 minutes.

I have a table called employee_punch_record that we use to store employee time clock punches.
The columns are:
employeeid,
punch_timestamp,
punch_type (In / Out),
closed (bit used as status for open or closed pay periods),
ident
Here are some examples of a record:

We are using SQL Server 2008 as our database and use Access as a GUI. I am looking to create a form in Access where employees can access their time card and request changes from management. I want to use the format from the attached screen shot for the form. I pretty much know how to do it all, the only point of complication is trying to figure out the easiest way to get the transaction punch record data on employee_punch_record into a format where I can easily populate the form in the horizontal format you see in the screen shot.
I am not super strong in SQL, but figure I can do it using a formatting table of some sort. quick and easy way to move transaction records into a more horizontally oriented record?

Hi all,
I have created a report in SSRS 2005 which is being viewed by users from different Time Zones.
I have a dataset which has a field of type datetime (UTC). Now I would like to display this Date according to the User Time Zone.
For example if the date is August 07, 2007 10:00 AM UTC,
then I would like to display it as August 07, 2007 03:30 PM IST if the user Time Zone is IST.
Similarly for other Time Zones it should display the time accordingly.
Is this possible in SSRS 2005?
Any pointers will be usefull...
Thanks in advance

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.

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
SQLServer2005MSSQLUsers$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER
SQLServer2005MSAgentUser$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER

Hi.
I have installed an SQL 2005 Failover Cluster on a Two Node Active Passive Windows 2003 Cluster.If i am trying to failover from the Active node to the passive Node,The Sql Server,Sql Server Agent and SQL Analysis resources fail,However if i reset the passowrd in the services tab of the above three services on the pasive node,the resources come online.
Below is the brief of my setup
1.I have two Active directory domain controllers running Windows 2003 R2 Standard edition with SP2.
2.i have installed a Windows 2003 Two Node Active Passive Cluster as NODE1 and NODE2.
3.The Domain account used to install WIndows 2003 A/P Cluster is Clusteradmin.This account is the member of Administartors on the Domain as well as the Local Admin on NODE1 and NODE2.
4.SQL 2005 with SP2 is installed on both the Nodes as SQL 2005 Failover Cluster.The account used to install SQL 2005 is sqadmin.This account is the member of Administartors on the domain and the member of Local Admins on NODE1 and NODE2.
5.SLQ 2005 has four domain groups for 4 SQL Services.The Services are SQL Server,SQL Server Agent,SLQ Anaylisis Server and Full text Search.
6.Each of these servcie has a seperate service account created for them.All these service accounts areb the members of domain admin and the member of Local Admin on NODE1 and NODE2.
7.Each of these servcies is running under these servcie accounts in the Servcies tab in NODE1 and NODE2.
8.If i fail the resources from NODE1 to NODE2 ,The SQL Server,SQL Server Agent and SQL Anaylisis resources are failing.on going to the service tab of NODE 2 I reset the password for these services,the services come online.
10.The Cluster resources and MSDTC Resources are Failing over successfully.They are coming online successfully.
11,I have a problem with the SQL Server Resources,even if i failback to NODE1 from NODE2,the same resources are failing again.
Plz Advice.
Regards
Khalid

This is driving me nuts..
I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT
(TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks

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:

After seeing this I looked up what ReadWriteDeleteMessageFile could mean. It appeared to be some NTFS acces problem. But when I checked the security settings, it all seemed to be ok.
Has anyone any idea what else to check? Or is sure that I must have done something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Arjan

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

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?

We received the error messages below (in the SQLAgent Log) when trying to execute a SQL Job manually. These errors do not appear if the job is executed automatically, and consequently runs smoothly. Only when we try to kick off the job manually does it fail and report these errors.

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.

Thanks for all your help and solutions in getting to an answer.

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.

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?
Thanks,
