I have a few reports. I want to run each report as one step of sql agent job. If the report succeeds only then the job should move to the next step ? is it possible
I am able to make separate jobs for separate reports but not as steps of one job.
Thanks in advance
Can anyone describe step by step how we specify a backup plan for our database? For example to backup our db and execute every night.
Thanks
Hello,I have a SQL Server Agent job that has two steps. The job fails when I run it normally, with both steps. However, when I tried to troubleshoot, I ran each step individually, and both succeeded without errors. The first step runs an SSIS package under a proxy. The second is a T-SQL statement that simply runs a stored procedure. (There is no option for "Run As" for the T-SQL statement.) Again, each step runs fine when I run it under SQL Server Agent; also, the SSIS package runs fine when I run it from the file system, and the T-SQL statement completes successfully when I run it as a query.Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Thanks!

Hi all.

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
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,

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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
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
Hi,
I am new to replication.
I have to replicate a db on SQL7.0 sp5 .
It's going to be transactionol.
Is there any article which explains everything - where to start from and where to end?
I mean everything step by step.....
TIA.
hello!
A job as a whole can be scheduled.But can a individual job step be scheduled?
thankfully in advance,
Rams.
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
welcome everybody

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.
Thank you,

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.

I am trying to create a SQL Agent job with 3 steps.
I want to delete three tables.
Step 1 ...delete table "X"
Step 2 ...delete table "X"
Step 3 ...delete table "X"
problem is that afer i create the three steps and start the job it never seems to finish the first steps and non of the other steps run, the job looks like is executing and never finishes. I break the job into three jobs each completes fine. I need this to runs one job, any ideas?
perplexed for sure.....
I want to update a char column and remove all the periods (.) - middle initial data. What are the basic steps in SSIS?
Source Table/Column --> Transform of some kind --> ? --> ?
I've never had to massage data and replace in the same table in my brief career so far but I see a lot more ahead.
There isn't a simple sql statement to do this, is there?
TIA
Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

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
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?

Thanks for reviewing my question. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 but I keep running into the same error:
SQL Server Setup failed to obtain system account information for the ASPNET account. To proceed, reinstall the .NET Framework, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
The only documentation I find on this is configuring the issolation mode in IIS 6.0.
Any help on is will be appreciated.

Hi All,
In creating 'steps' in JOBS, is it possible to execute many DOS CmdExec in
one step, instead of creating several steps with a single DOS-cmd in each.
For example:
Step1: bcp sourcedb..sourcetbl out source.dat -n -T -Ssourceserver
Step2: isql -T -Stargetserver -Q "truncate table targettbl"
Step3: bcp targetdb..targettbl in source.dat -n -T -Stargetserver
If I created a job executing those 3 functions in 3 separate steps then it works fine. But if I put all those 3 DOS command in one step, it won't work. Somehow,
SQL doesn't 'understand' it should execute after the end of each command OR
I missed something here (apparently so!).
I know if I put all those 3 DOS commands into a DOIT.BAT and execute it, it will work. But I want to use SQL Job to schedule it to run on a regular basis.
Anyone has run into this same problem? Thanks in advance.
David Nguyen.
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.
Hi all,
Can any one help me in this issue?I am new for this SQL server.By creating scripts from server system.I got the tables without data in my system.But i want to get the full database as usual there in server.
I have to convert my existing MS Access frontend and SQL backend app into ASP.NET web app with sql server backend.The version is 2000.Pls it's urgent?
