MS SQL Server :: Sql Agent Job

Execute Sql Server Agent Job Task - Job Immediately Returns Success... However Agent Job Is Still Running???

Nov 30, 2006

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

Snapshot Agent && Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.

Nov 30, 2006

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.

Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent

May 18, 2007

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

SQL Agent Will Not Run

Jan 30, 2004

I am running SQL 2000 with SP3a and Windows Server 2003 successfully. I have a associate that is attempting to set up the same configuration. Our settings match identically, but his SQL agent will not start. I have checked everything I can think of but it still will not start on his network, yet works perfectly fine on mine. The error he is getting is that the SA account failed to log in properly, yet the password is correct. Any suggestions?

Sql Agent Job

Jul 13, 2007

hi iam new to SSIS. I have two packages which are almost identical, only difference is the table name in the query to extract data just a test package.the package is created under my windows account, with the default protection level. I have scheduled them using SQL server agent. one runs succesfully and the other fails with error

Message
Executed as user: NAdbasvc-alticor. ... 9.00.3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

Started: 11:28:25 AM Finished: 11:28:26 AM Elapsed: 0.906 seconds. The package execution fai... The step failed.

I understand that it is something to do with
1.protection level
2.the user account under which the package is running
3.the SQL agent account used to run job

can someone be a detailed in explaining how to get this running and one big ? is why one package fails while the other with exactly same settings is running perfectly.

Please help i bid a lot of google on this but still confusing

DTS And SQL Job Agent

Jan 31, 2008

I have successfully created a DTS package, and would like to use SQL Server Job Agent to schedule it (instead of right-clicking on the package and scheduling a plan because the dates that I need to run this package are not fixed). How would I proceed? I am using SQL Server 2000.

Thanks...

Sql Agent

Aug 17, 2006

Hi all,

I am using SQL Server Express with Advanced features. I used to use the SQL agent in SQL Server 2000 to run a stored procedure that populated a table in my database each night.

I cant seem to do this with SQL Server Express. Is there another way to run this stored procedure each night and populate the table with the data returned.

I read about using Scheduled Tasks in Windows but Im not really familar with this.

Would really appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,
Cathie

SQL Agent Not Starting

Feb 12, 2002

The SQLAgent service was modified to login as a domain account. SQLAgent would not start. I made sure that the account was in the Admin group on the server, I setup the account as a System Administrator in SQL. I made sure that the network protocols in Client Network Utiliity and Server Network Utility where the same as other servers using the domain account. The message I'm getting is...

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start).

I modified the properties for SQLAgent back to login as local account and I still get the same problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Using SQL Server Agent

Aug 7, 2002

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?

SQL Server Agent

Mar 20, 2001

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.

3/20/01 4:27:16 AM - ! [000] Password verification of the 'SQLAgentCmdExec' proxy account failed (reason: A required privilege is not held by the client)
3/20/01 4:27:16 AM - ! [000] Password verification of the 'SQLAgentCmdExec' proxy account failed (reason: A required privilege is not held by the client)

If anyone has any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

SQL Agent Job Very Slow

Jul 21, 2000

I am configuring a new Server running SQL Server 7.0 sp2.
I have a job that runs a large process. From the SQL Agent job, the processing time is over 8 hours. If I run the same process from a query window, it takes an hour and a half. On my 6.5 database, the job takes 2 - 3 hours from the scheduled task. What is going on with SQL Agent? I have not been able to find any information on memory and SQL Agent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It does not seem to restart when you stop the Server service and restart the services with out a reboot. Is there a setting somewhere in Enterprise Manager where I can tell the Agent service to restart with the Service service?
