Whenever i change the SA password to anything else, my SQL Agent services
like jobs, alerts starts falling, and if i attempt to stop and then restart
sql agent service, it will not start again.
My server uses sql authentication for everything...

Hi,
I am having problems with an SSIS package whereby the first step of the package is failing. I am getting the following error message:
Unable to connect to FTP server using "FTPLocation".
This only happens when I use a Agent Proxy as the 'Run as' option. If I change it back to SQL Agent Service Account it works perfectly.
For the credentials of the proxy, I have used my own windows login as the identity. And I have full priveleges on the server, ie if I log on to the server I can successfully ftp to the same site and download the file without any problems. So shouldn't the Agent be able to do so too when it uses my credentials?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I found a similar thread posted under the same title as this by dba123. Unfortunately, his solution does not match my problem.
I have a SSIS package that will run fine in debug mode, will run fine when published to the server when I right click and execute it. However, when I run it through a job, either scheduled or running the job manually, the job fails. There is an entry in the servers application log telling me that "login failed for user xxxxx" where xxxxx is the name of SQL login that I am using. I know that the login works (logged in manually to the server via management studio, and it runs fine when I run it manually). Both connection managers are SQL, no flat files or other data source types. All the commands are T-SQL. The SQL Agent has full database access to both servers that the connection manager connects to - and its NOT the profile that is reporting as failing - it is a domain account.
This is totally bizzare - ANY help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I have a problem with an Access db
connection in my package when run by SQL Agent. I have problem running a job with my package so i used the
log and found out that when i change the connection property of the
access connection manager in my package to a local Access file on my
machine, it works just fine but if i change the connection to that of
an Access db on my Y drive (which has been set up on my machine), it
doesnt execute. I checked the security property of the network folder
in which the access db exist and I do have rights. That is to
say, i dont know why it cannot access it then. The funny part is that
when i run the packae in SSIS (VS.NET) or Intergration services in
Managment studio, it runs just fine but when i execute the job through
Sql Server Agent, it generates the following error:
OnError,CYPRESS0927,CYPRESSebuah,CLMH

method call to the connection manager "ocan_conn" failed with error
code 0xC0202009.
ocan_conn is the name of my connection object to the access db in my package.
Is there anything Im missing.
They wre runnning fine until 4/21/2008 then all SSIS packages started to fail.
Simple SQL jobs are still running fine thouhgt and reporting success.
Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: The SSIS subsystem failed to load [see the SQLAGENT.OUT file for details]; The job has been suspended). The step failed.
My SQL Agent was working fine. Now when I try to run it, it failes when trying to run my SSIS package. I looked in the logs, and job history, no luck in finding any critical errors.
My SSIS package runs fine through VS 2005 in debug mode.
Here are the only errors:

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem where nothing seems to be wrong with the server, and SQL Server Agent is up and running, but jobs fail. We had a job run at midnight, and it was the last successful run. Every job failed after that, with an error stating "Unable to retrieve steps for job..." There doesn't seem to be any reason for the problem. The jobs were kicked off manually and they all ran.
The only other error messages we could find were in the Application Event Viewer on the server. But the first error happened days ago and said this: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Unable to open shim database version registry key - v2.0.50727.00000."
Since then, every few seconds this error occurred: "Windows cannot load extensible counter DLL MSSQLServerOLAPService, the first DWORD in data section is the Windows error code."
We turned off the performance monitor counters and that error stopped. But we still have no idea if that was the cause of the problem.
This isn't the first time we've had an issue with jobs failing because the steps couldn't be 'found', while SQL Server Agent was up and running.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!
Hello:
I've created a package that runs fine from BIDS when logged in with my domain account. I have created a SQL Agent Proxy on the server with that same account. In the Job Step on the server, I edit the connection strings so that username and password is there for both my source Access connection and the destination SQL Server. Here is the connection string I create for MS Access:
Code SnippetData Source=\10.210.226.202OTM Reports for SymmetricsCDRD001.MDB;User ID=admin;Password=;Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
Here is the error:
Code SnippetExecuted as user: DOMAINMRUSER. ethod call to the connection manager "MSAccessDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. End Error Error: 2008-01-30 09:49:19.66 Code: 0xC0047017 Source: Cost DTS.Pipeline Description: component "Cost" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C. End Error Error: 2008-01-30 09:49:19.66 Code: 0xC004700C Source: Cost DTS.Pipeline
I have tried with various settings in the package for "ProtectionLevel" such as "DontSaveSensitive" and "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey". I would think that using my account with the proxy the last option would work when running it on the server, since it is essentially the same user running the package, but I'm new to playing with the proxy.
I tried using package configurations but got an error there too, think it couldn't access the file, event though it was on an accessible share--accessible to my account.
Any idea what might be happening here?
Thanks,
Kayda
Hi
I have created a package that extracts data from an Oracle 10g database into a database on SQL Server 2005 SP2.
This package run fine when run inside BIDS and also if run from DTExecUI or DTExec
(This is done while logged in using the same domain account that runs both the SQL Service and the SQL Agent Service. This account is also a local admin on the box.)
When I try to schedule this with SQL Server Agent (running under the SQL Agent Service Account) it returns an MSDAORA error
"Oracle client and network components were not found"
The same error occurs if I try to use CmdExe step to try and execute the DTExec command.
The interesting part however is that I use a lower privaleged proxy account then
(a) Executing the package directly still fails but
(b) Running a DTExec command will succed
Can anyone provide an explanation for this behaviour. While I can work around this "feature" by using the DTExec and a proxy account it does make the packages harder to configure/debug and defeats many of the configuration advantages provided by SSIS
TIA

Using SQL 2005, SSIS, I have an SSIS package which is scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job. The package contains a Send Mail task. This task fails when SQL Agent runs the package. The task succeeds when executed interactively from the package, logged on as the SQL Agent service account. The package as a whole succeeds when executed from "Start Debugging". An Execute SQL Task in the same package containing an sp_send_dbmail statement succeeds when SQL Agent runs the job, and the same sp_send_dbmail succeeds in Mgmt Studio query window. All these events all logged onto the server as the SQL Server/SQL Agent service account.
I would appreciate ideas on what else to check for here, so that I can use the Send Mail SSIS task in packages which are run by SQL Agent jobs.
Thanks, Holly
I deployed my SSIS package to SQL Server 2005.
I have done the following:
1) Gave the sql agent account permissions to the msdb database and other databases
2) Checked the paths for "Data Sources" under properties of my agent in the SSIS properties
3) Set the authentification to Windows and used the sql agent account (a domain account that I setup) to run the agent. I also tried my login. So it's not a permission issue, because I do not get permission errors...it's past this.
What works:
1) Other SQL Agent packages...they are not running an SSIS package, just SQL
2) Running the SSiS package by right-clicking on it in Management Sudio. No errors found in the execution and the package does it's intended function
3) Package runs fine with absolutely no errors in VS 2005
What doesn't work:
1) My agent that points to my SSIS package. All this agent does is run that package. When I run the agent, I get a minimal error message in the job history logs stating the following error message:
03/09/2006 12:49:58,Run EN Process,Error,0,BG-22SQL,Run EN Process,(Job outcome),,The job failed. The Job was invoked by User domainmy_account. The last step to run was step 1 (Run EN SSIS Package).,00:00:02,0,0,,,,0

Hi all,
I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service.
What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?)
What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Thanks in advanced!

On Saturday we moved a few databases from SQL Server 2005 to a SQL Server 2012 cluster; and as expected some jobs have been failing because of this. The Job in Question executes two stored procedures and then an SSIS package; however when I ran the Job it failed with the error
Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Server 'servername' is not configured for RPC
I therefore configured the Server for RPC with the following script: -
exec sp_serveroption @server='servername', @optname='rpc', @optvalue='true'
GO
But the job failed again. So I therefore reran the script with the reconfigure option: -
exec sp_serveroption @server='OCELOT7CLUST', @optname='rpc', @optvalue='true'
GO
reconfigure with override
go
But again the job failed. I then closed SSMS and reopened it and attempt to run the job again and once again it failed.This is not an issue with the Linked Server as the linked Server is connecting as sa.

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.

Hello, I am having a problem with my sql server agent service not working. I have done some research from earlier postings and still having no luck with getting it up and running.

We came across a biggg issue with SQL Agent service on one of our SQL Server 2012 production servers. Suddenly, it stopped working. So we just thought of disabling and enabling the service, but once we disabled and try to set automatic (before starting it), gives us error message "The Remote Procedure Call Failed [0x800706be]".

Sql server service has been started with a normal user who do not have any permission but he is a domain user.
The sql server service can be started successfuly in cluster
But if the Same user is used to start the SQL Server Agent service there is an error.What is the mininumum priviledge to
start a sql server agent in cluster. Why it cannot the domain user cannot be used to start the sql agent service.
Here is an odd one:
I switched my SQLSERVERAGENT service to use the Local System Account.
I stopped and restarted the service.
Both the Services window and Enterprise Manager show the SQL Server Agent is running. But when I try kicking off a job I get the following message:
Error 22022: SQLServerAgent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action.
Any clues as to why the agent could be running, but not know that it is running?
Hi all,
I'm new to sql server administration so please show some understanding!
I installed sql server 2000 personal edition (upgrated to sp4) on an windows xp pro OS, but I cannot get the sql server agent service running. I get a message " the service did not start due to a logon failure". The server is my local pc, I'm using windows authentication and the login is "domain/loginname" where domain is my pc name.
Does it have to be installed on a server OS to have this service running?
Thanks George
I just learned I can deploy and schedule jobs to run SSIS packages (via job/sqlagent) without the Integration Service (agent) itself actually running alongside (or on) the server. (Double-click on manifest, deploy IS package to server, create job/job step to run IS package, watch it run even when integration service is completely disabled)
Other than convenient viewing, configuring, and RMC running w/in SQL Server Mgmt Studio 2005, why then do I need the integration service running on a production box at all? When do I really need the IS service itself?
In our (finance) world only (a) an act of God or (b) a DBA can touch production databases/servers. Allowing anyone to connect to yet another service - in this case, an integration service - to meddle w/ a package would be a no no, so...
1) Could I trouble someone for a concrete, critical reason why the DBA should enable it on a production server. Speed? Caching? Peace of mind knowing everything is piled onto and neatly running on the server?
2) On a more minor note, if I'm deploying a package to be housed solely w/in MSDB, is there anyway to prevent the prompt of a file location during deployment, i.e. the creation of an empty directory that would otherwise hold package dependencies if I were running it as a file?
We'd like to deploy only to MSDB (I know all the pros/cons w/r/t saving dtsxs to files v. msdb) and keep deployments clean (read: all in one place). DR is via SAN-to-SAN replication with, among other things, msdb cleanly getting replicated. We would very much like to avoid having to worry about (more) file/directories sitting out on a server share to be replicated to DR (it seems the default is to allow deployments to directories on the SQL server instance itself..ugh) Any architectural insights on this would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jim
When I run sp_delete_job to delete the whole job inside,
will the job steps, job schedules and job servers of that job will be deleted automatically also?
so, do i need to run sp_delete_job only?
or need sp_delete_jobstep, sp_delete_jobschedule and sp_delete_jobserver also?
Hi,
If we were to assign permissions to a backup agent such as Backup Exec to backup the databases on the SQL server, what role would give the least amount but sufficient permissions to perform the backup? I know domain admin would make the agent a local admin and therefore allow it to back up the database but is there a role available to allow backup only?
Please note that I'm referring to a domain account used by Backup Exec to directly backup the databases rather than sql server agent.
Thanks.
what is considered best practice for privileges etc on the sql agent service account and long term need for that account to run ssis packages? I tried to understand and appreciate the article at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/newsqlagent.mspx but felt like either it was overkill or I wasnt getting it.
I'm thinking of using SQL Server Agent Service for my PDA app. But, I want to use different accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent Service. How can we do this in SQL Server 2005? Do we do this when installing it? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedTo run a remainder service that shoots a mail once everyday to all users of a subscribed service satisfying a pre-determined criteria, I'm planning to use a Sql Server Agent Job. In the first step of the Job, I'll have a stored procedure that gets all the records matching that criteria & store it in a table.
In the next step, I want a Windows Service (as there need not be any interface & my project requires easy deployment & minimal manual intervention) to fetch the records from the above table & shoot mails to users of the subscribed service. Several thousand mails may have to be sent this way. In order not to strain Sql server & also avoid extended stored procedures due to safety reasons, I'm considering using this windows service.
I want to know
1) how to make the Sql Server Agent execute the Windows service?
2) abt code or resources on how to write a vb.net Windows service that will work through a recordset & send mails.
3) from a perfomance point of view, if this method is feasible? If not, what are the other efficient alternatives.
I have a Win 2003 server running 3 instances of SQL 2000 Enterprise.
The problem is I can only start 2 of the 3 Job Agents at a time, as the 3rd gets stuck in a starting state.
Has anyone struck this problem before?
Thanks.
What sort of things would it interact with to justify having this ticked as the sqlserver.exe seems to be consuming all the CPU constantly and some suggestions have said that having this ticked can cause a performance issue.
