This must've been convered before, but I can seem to find a solution to it. Daylight Savings Time is about to end in my area, at which time the clocks will go backwards from 1:59am to 1:00am.
I have scheduled jobs that run every minute, and I'm expecting that when the clock rolls back, they will stop running for the gained hour until the clock catches back up.
So, I need an automated way to correct this.
I was looking at the msdb..sysjobschedules table, at the next_run_time column. But it doesn't make much sense. That value will periodically update, but it is always a good bit behind the next run time reported in EM. And manually updating it seems to have no effect.
Is there a way to get a job to run or to recalculate the next run time via tsql script?
I have jobs scheduled on SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.
It's my understanding that if there are jobs scheduled to run between 2:00 - 3:00 AM this Sunday when Daylight Savings time moves the time from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, these jobs will run at 3:00 AM along with any scheduled jobs to run at 3:00 AM.
I have the database on a GMT server and a logdate that is in GMT too. How do I convert this into CST (GMT -6) , during daylight savings (GMT-5) when passing it back to the webpage. I can use DATEADD(hh,-6,LogDate) but how do I know if the daylight savings period has started to do DATEADD(hh,-5,LogDate). I also want to solve this at the database level without altering the front-end. Thanks.
I apologize ahead of time if this has been covered. I tried searching but found only the OS specific response to my question (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx).
With the coming changes to DST in 2007, is there -- or is there even a need to -- patch either SQL Server 2005 or 2000 to account for those changes?
After DST change (US/Canada), when I run any of my reports, I get this error:
"An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: date "
We have scheduled jobs, which run every 2 minutes. If the job runs at 1:59am, the next run time is set to 2:01 am. If at 2:00am, the clock is rolled back to 1:00, my scheduled run time is still 2:01am. In this situalion, my 2 minute job will not run until 1 hour and 1 minute later, at 2:01am.
Any suggestions for reseting the next run times on the jobs to the next interval after the clock roles back to 1:00am.
I was wondering if there is a simple patch for 2000 server. It seems that the only fix is to edit the registry and to use the time zone editor app. If there is a simple patch like there is for the 2003 servers i would appreciate it if anyone can show me where. I have about 80+ servers with 2000!!!
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.
I thought I would post this just in case you are not aware of the change of the Daylight Saving Time start and end dates in 2007. This is really an OS problem, not a SQL Server problem, but it could have a big impact on your applicaitons if you are not prepared. The first change is less that 2 months away, so it's not a bad time to give it some thought.
Here are some articles about preparing systems for the 2007 daylight savings time changes that you might find of interest.
Preparing for daylight saving time changes in 2007: “Starting in the spring of 2007, daylight saving time (DST) start and end dates for the United States will transition to comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. DST dates in the United States will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November).
Microsoft will be producing an update for Microsoft products affected by the new United States daylight saving time transition dates. These updates will be released through a combination of channels including Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS), hotfixes incorporated in Knowledge Base articles, Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and the Microsoft Download Center.� http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx

Hi, I have this simple SQL query which SELECTs the fields according to the criteria in WHERE clause. SELECT callingPartyNumber, originalCalledPartyNumber, finalCalledPartyNumber, dateadd(ss, (dateTimeConnect + (60 * 60 * -5))+3600 , '01-01-1970 00:00:00') AS dateTimeConnect, dateadd(ss, (dateTimeDisconnect + (60 * 60 * -5))+3600, '01-01-1970 00:00:00') AS dateTimeDisconnect, CONVERT(char(8), DATEADD(second, duration, '0:00:00'), 108) AS duration FROM Calls WHERE (callingPartyNumber = ISNULL(@callingPartyNumber, callingPartyNumber)) AND (originalCalledPartyNumber = ISNULL(@originalCalledPartyNumber, originalCalledPartyNumber)) AND (finalCalledPartyNumber = ISNULL(@finalCalledPartyNumber, finalCalledPartyNumber)) AND (duration >= @theDuration) AND ((datetimeConnect - 14400) >= ISNULL(convert(bigint, datediff(ss, '01-01-1970 00:00:00', @dateTimeConnect)), datetimeConnect)) AND ((dateTimeDisconnect - 14400) <= ISNULL(convert(bigint, datediff(ss, '01-01-1970 00:00:00', @dateTimeDisconnect)), dateTimeDisconnect)) If you notice, in the SELECT, I add 3600 (1 hour) to adjust the time according to the current DayLight saving setting. Similarly, while comparing in WHERE clause, I subtract 14400 seconds (4 hours) to adjust the comparison according to EST (-5 GMT, but doing -4 GMT since daylight saving) and daylight saving. Also, dateTimeConnect and dataTimeDisconnect fields save time in UTC seconds. Now this application may be used by clients in different timezones. The application may be hosted on their server which would mean a different time zone. What would be the best way to make this time zone and daylight adjustment more dynamic instead of hardcoding the values.
Last weekend many of our severs had a failed job "collection_set_3_upload". The error that occured is: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_ active_ sessions_ and_requests'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'snapshots.active_sessions_and_requests'. The duplicate key value is (2824333, 2015-10-25 02:54:49.7630000 +02:00, 1)."Last weekend we happened to go from summer time to winter time. i.e. the clock passed 02:00 - 3:00 two times during this night.
I.e. there is a bug in the Data Collector component that collects data for the Management Data Warehouse: it uses local time instead of UTC. I've created a Connect item to report it to Microsoft.URL...how do you get your process running again? the job will no longer run because it will every 5 minutes keep on trying to upload the conflicting data for the 2nd 2:00 - 3:00 period. I've only found one solution: get rid of all data collected but not yet uploaded.
You do this by stopping the Collection set (in SSMS go to Object Explorer -> <the server you want to fix> -> Management -> Data Collection -> System Data Collection Sets. Right click "Query Statistics" and select "Stop Data Collection Set").Then you delete the cached results from the sql server machine's harddisk. These cached results are in files located in a Temp folder on the sql machine itself, inside the AppData folder for the service account SQL Server Agent is running under. Usually it will be something like: c:Users<sql agent service account>AppDataLocalTemp.
Inside this folder delete all files that have 'QueryActivity' in their name. You'll loose all data collected since the start of wintertime, but at least your data collection process will work again.After this you can start the Collection set again by right clicking it and select "Start Data Collection Set". Every 5 minutes the data will be summarised and uploaded into your management data warehouse.

I'm thinking of using the SQL Agent Job Scheduler as part of a larger application and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a limit on how many schedules or jobs that can exist on a SQL Server at one time.
I am trying to figure out a way , looking at the tables in MSDB (SysJobHistory) that if a scheduled job is running and not completed yet , for how long it has been running. I have to look for all the jobs with run_status = 4 (in process). But what i figured out it no history is written till the job is finished or cancelled. Can anyone help me with this
I have a scheduled job that run one time a day at 10 pm. My problem is that if the job fail, i want that the job run 10 minutes after until it complete with success.
I am running a scheduled DTS which transfers all the rows in a production table to another server every 30 minutes,each time it truncates the table on the second server before transfer.It has been running fine for several days.Will there be any problem in this kind of backup strategy? Do I have to clear any history logs frequently?Or any other problem can happen? Can anyone suggest any precautions,as there will not be any down time allowed.Replication is also not acceptable by the client. Thanks.
I find some scheduled jobs are switching from an 'enabled' state to a 'disabled' state apparently for no good reason. The job itself still shows as being 'enabled', however the associated scheduled becomes 'disabled'. Does anyone why this would be? Is the problem associated with a paritcular service pack or anything??
I have a job that runs hourly every day from 7:00 to 19:00. I'd like to be able to detect the last run of the day. The problem is, I may change one (or both) or the scheduled run times, so I don't want to hard code 19:00 into my detection scheme.
I stumbled across the sysjobsschedules table in the msdb database, and I think the Next_Run_date and Next_Run_time fields will get me where I need to be.
I'm trying to build a second job that runs at 10 minutes after the hour, 24 hours a day that will somehow detect whether or not the primary job just finished it's last run of the day, and if so, insert some records into a table.
Here's what I have so far...
DECLARE @intFlg1 INTEGER SET @intFlg1= (SELECT CASE WHEN CONVERT(DATETIME, CAST(next_run_date AS CHAR(8)), 102) = Prod_Plan.dbo.RemoveTime(GETDATE()) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules WHERE (name = N'prodplan_importorders')) IF @intFlg1=0 INSERT INTO BLDOFF_INV_DAILY() SELECT GETDATE() AS Expr1, Product, Whse, Qty FROM BldOff_Inv_Hourly
The problem with this is that it will append records every hour after the last run until midnight. I only want it to append them once.
Its not possible to schedule jobs via Express is it? Like I have a process that connects to an Oracle system grabs the data... plays with it some and then inserts it into the MSSQL 2005 server... We need this process to run say every 2 hours... Express cant do that cant it?
I have this backup job created, this job is being called from VB once all the data is finished loading. You need to have SA permissions or be the database owner in order to run the jobs. How do I get around this, I don't want the user to be db owner or have sa privledges. Does anyone have any SP to get around this Thanks for any help
Hi all I'm stuck here, I hope someone else has come across a problem like this. About 12 scheduled jobs are running on SQL Server 7 (NT is the operating system) They are supposed to run under the security context of an account set up to run as a service for both SQL Server Agent and SQL scheduling Agent. This user account was given all the permissions that the person scheduling them has(that's me, also part of sysadmin role). Everything was running fine until one day the server crashed and after it came back up, nothing was working. The error I get is an odbc link error. I was even unable to open up the packages, so I had to recreate them from saved .dts files. I did come to find out that the NT domain admin password was changed as well, but why should that affect the user account under which these jobs run? Anyway, at the moment, nothing runs on the server and I can only manually execute them as packages from my local computer. Please help me to narrow down what could be the problem. The Agent service and sql server services are running so that's not the problem. thanks...
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?
Had to rename a SQL 2000 box and now the scheduled maint jobs that were created under the previous name of the box cannot be deleted via EM. Can anyone offer help?
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
Can anybody help me in solving this issue. We are currently facing an issue in our scheduled jobs. We have a job scheduled in SQL Server 7.0, which executes SPs one by one. The job makes the database to single user mode and starts the clean up job (execute SP, which deletes old records from specified tables). Once this is done, the database is again converted to multi use.Our database size is 8 GB, there is a huge volume of data. our client started the job on one weekend and it continued till tuesday after noon, on wednessday morning, the job got failed.
Please help me in solving this issue. why the job taking so much time to run and how it can be monitored and tuned to work properly.
Hi Guys, I'm Hoping some one could help me out, I'm in need of creating a web interface to monitor scheduled SQL Jobs, both on sql 2000 & 2005. I'm new to asp, Can anyone point me in the right direction.Really appreciate it. Regards
i have a package scheduled in sql server..... if i change something in the package and save the change... will the scheduled job then reflect that change? or does the scheduled job have to be deleted and the package re-scheduled in order for the change to take affect? (for example....i have a scheduled package which pulls some data from an oracle server and populates a sql server tabel. well....the oracle server has changed. so if i open my package and change the oracle server connection and save it, will the scheduled job have this change?)
Getting this message when running a dtsrun step in a scheduled job;
DTSRun: Loading... DTSRun: Executing... Error: -2147220499 (800403ED); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: No Steps have been defined for the transformation Package. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts.hlp Help context: 700. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
This just started today.. These jobs have been running for months with no problems.
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?
