I need some data from msdb.dbo.sysjobs and msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory but I need it from a backup file.
I don't need to restore the msdb database, I just need some data from the backup. Everytime I try to restore it under some innocuous name like bills_db it tells me msdb is in use.
Is there a way to restore this db to some other name and retrieve data from it?
Hi,
I am trying to build a test environment for our production server. I backedup and restored all my databases. I had to copy the jobs too, so I backedup and restored msdb database. When I try to change any of the jobs, I get the following message.
"Error 14274: Cannot add, update, or delete a job (or its steps or schedules) that originated from an MSX server."
I have no clue what this message is about. Can someone please provide me with some clues about how I can modify my jobs and get my test environment to work.
Thanks,
Rob
QUESTION? ----!!!!!
I BACKED MSDB TO A DEVICE AND THEN RAN THE FOLLOWING CODE ON ANOTHER SERVER:
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'd:mssql7ackupcomplete_bak.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE Test_MSDB

WITH MOVE 'MSDBData' TO 'd:mssql7datamsdbDATA.mdf',
MOVE 'Northwind_log' TO 'd:mssql7datamsdbLOG.ldf'
I get the following error: (Why are the logical and physical name referring to master database?)

QUESTION? -- WILL BACKING UP MSDB AND RESTORING IT TO ANOTHER SERVER MOVE
ALL MY JOBS AS WELL? IF NOT HOW DO I MOVE MY JOBS FROM ONE
SERVER TO ANOTHER?
I restored msdb on another server after moving all user databases and logins. I expected to see the jobs after the restore but I didn't.
I've read the article(Q314546) about moving databases and it indicates that you don't have to script them if you move msdb.
I didn't restore master. Only msdb.
Your thoughts please?

I have a server attached to a SAN, all user db's are on the SAN, master, tempdb, and msdb are on the local machine. We will be replacing the machine (not the SAN) to a newer sql server. Our plan was to create the new server with same name, deattach current user db's,backup master and msdb, then connect new server with same name an IP to SAN. I then wanted to restore the master and msdb db's to the new machine, and attach the user db's. We are running log shipping to a stand-by server in this configuration. I was thinking I could let last tran log backup and copy occur, and then let the last restore happen on the standby. I would then shut down the agent. Should I not be able to restore the MSDB and master to the new server (as long as all file folder locations are the same) and be ready to go? Or are there issues when restoring the Master and MSDB to a new server from a different server.

Suddenly one day I found some corruptions have occurred in my SQL Server 2012 installation. Because my 'msdb' has been marked SUSPECT/CORRUPT; hence no new work can be done as per my schedules.
I have gone about trying to repair it. I followed this article here: [URL] [the region 'Create new MSDB Database'].
I am facing some sizeable difficulties in doing this on my own. Steps 1. & 2. I have done. I am now stuck at step no. 3.My instance name is SQLEXPRESS. So, when I give,
SQLCMD -E -S<SQLEXPRESS> -dmaster -Q"EXEC sp_detach_db msdb" [as per the article], what I get is:
The System cannot find the file specified.
So I am stuck at that point. What's with the 'cannot find file specified'? The stored procedure, or the mdf, ldf files for my msdb? What is it?Also, if and when I am through with step no. 3 I would like to know about steps 5. & 6. also which are soon to follow [like how to do them correctly, safely and from where, the different options]. This is a huge priority for me to get my sql server up and running again because I can't do my other coding works without it. Everything is stalled. Slowly reaching the desperation, SOS mode..
Whenever I start my SQL Express 2005 database, I get the following in the logs :
View 10 Replies View RelatedI did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

I know that msdb is used to manage the job schedulers in sql server 7.0 ( job agent ). Does this (msdb) like other databases, where I can control its size, shrink it or expand it.
IF am backing up the msdb, and I errased all jobs scheduled in sql agen. Can I restore all the deleted Jobs by restoring the msdb.

I have a job called JOBA scheduled to run every 10 min.
Is there a way in Tsql that I can find out whether the job is currently running or not.Is there any table/field in msdb database that gives me the desired info.

My MSDB is too big [about 14 GB]. When I closely looked all tables, here is what I found -
Top 3 biggest tables are -
sysmaintplan_logdetail - rows- 124923 - data - 13375456 KB
DTA_Tuninglog - 181658 rows - data - 163248 KB
sysmail_mailitems - records - 14227 data - 126208 KB
I am not a DBA, so if any one can explain in simple terms how I can cleanup this maintenance plan log detail without increasing the size of tempdb? How can I stop this database growing in the future?
I have only a gig of space left on that drive.
Thanks in advance
I made a few changes to backup jobs. Within a few hours the MSDB grew to like 355MB. ANY ideas why this happened??

I have a problem with my MDSB database. After my nightly reboot, I received an error in my Lof File stating: Error 9001: Cannot file log device for msdb database. I looked and saw the msdblog.ldf, so I am alittle confused. I ran a dbcc checkdb, dbcc newalloc and dbcc updateusage on msdb, but I did not get any errors. I added an additional log file to try and fix it, but nothing has fixed it. I am perplexed because all my scheduled backups are failing.
Any additional advice would be helpful.

I want to move the physical location of the msdb database on a SQL server. However I cannot drop the database with the drop database statement, even setting it to dbo use only and single user mode. I get an error message saying the database is in use. Obviously I do not want to reinstall the server. The reason I want to move it is because it is located in the default dir on the C: drive which is running out of space.
Any ideas.....
hi, I already have jobs in the sql server agen. I want to copy all these jobs to another sql server, What is the best way to do it.
here what I am thinking to do
1. Back up the msdb from the sql server which has the jobs
2. restore msdb into the sql server where I need to create the jobs.
I got an error message, 15089 cannot change the 'single user' option of a database while another user is in the database.
But no one is in except me.? thanks for your input

Problem with Msdb
error 1105 can not allocate space in sysbackupdetail.
msdb has 1.0MB of database space available and 1.97MB of log space.
I intended to expand the database but must first expand the device. the available space for the device is -703. So I can not adjust and expand. Any ideas. My hourly dumps appear to be functioning if you view them ny expanding the device but tasks show them as failing.
Hi !
when i am trying to restore MSDB database from a disk backup it is giving an error saying
"Database in use.System administrator must have exclusive use of the databse to run the restore operation".
But i am not using msdb anywhere.when i see the processes under current activities i see an application named sqlagent-alert engine using the database.even after killing this process it reppaears and stops the restore operation.
so i stopped sql server agent and did the restore operation.It worked.
so is it necessary to stop sql server agent while restoring msdb?may i know the logical reason for it?
How would you set up a task run by user without sacrificing the alias permission on msdb (SQL 6.5)?
Situation:
I have set up a task for runing replication by a user with the alias permission on msdb in order for the user to run the task. And I do not want to grant the alias permission to the user for the security reason. But if I set it up by granting only the sp_runtask permission to the user on msdb I always got the message like "You cannot perform this action on a task you do not own."
Please share your workaround. Thank you ahead of time

The sysbackupdetail table in the MSDB database at our SQL6.5 installation has grown to over
50,000 rows, since we back up 25 databases every day. I've enlarged MSDB once because
of a space problem, and I'm wondering whether I can just delete the older entries in this table
to prune it, without dire consequences. MSDB has other history tables, and I'd like to handle
them all the same way.
If I mess with these tables, will the sky fall on me?

I'm running Win2000/SQL2000 on a Compaq CL380 Cluster Server. After a powerdown to do a physical move, the MSDB is now marked SUSPECT. I have tried the stored procedure SP_RESETSTATUS, a DBCC consistency check, and also have restored the database from backup. The database still shows MSDB is suspect. What can I do? We can't get a good backup as long as it is still this way as it depends on the SQL Agent.
