Is it Possible to Run Reporting Agent job in Parallel?

Hi Folks,
I am sceduling a reporting agetn job and I see that it only takes one back Ground process and its a long running Job, so I was thinking about the possibilty of breaking this into parallel jobs..Is this possible if so please share with me how to do this...thanks in advance

Farhan,
I think I did not explain my question properly, I do not want to create 2 variants with different time selections and run it as 2 jobs, this way I cannot have a Super Set for using Cache, what I am want is use just one variant (Jan through Dec) and when I execute this in the background, i want this job to split into parallel processes so that it runs faster...Can someone explain if this is possible. if so how can i achieve this..thanks in Advance..

Running SQL agent jobs in parallel

I have around 60 SQL agent jobs (each job has 1 step that loads data from ORACLE to SQL using attunity) that run SSIS packages that I need to run in parallel. I did some testing and found that the server can handle 10 of them running at the same time.
I know I need to loop through sysjobhistory and find the ones (all 60 jobs start with PS) that haven't ran today, currently not running and the first tow words of the name = 'PS'. Any advice on how to get this accomplished would be appreciated.
I have seen some articles that mention adding 10 data flows to a SSIS package and run them that way but I would like for SQL to handle it, so I can get the time.
Thanks!

That will definitely help identify the jobs but I need to figure the looping logic that will allow 10 jobs to run in parallel.
try this.. not tested.. left comments where possible for you to understand..may need to tweak it a bit..
declare @a intset @a=0
declare @jobname nvarchar(200)
-- checks if there are already 10 jobs running
while (@a <10) and ((Select count(C.Name) as [JobName]
from (Select max(Session_id) as Session_Id from msdb.dbo.syssessions) A
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity B on A.Session_id=B.Session_ID
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs C on B.job_id=C.Job_ID
where B.stop_execution_date is null AND B.run_requested_date is not null and C.Name like 'PS%') < 10)
begin
--loops through to fetch one non-running job at a time and fetches upto 10 jobs
Select top 1 @jobName = name
from msdb.dbo.sysjobs X
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity Z on Z.job_id=X.Job_ID
where name like 'PS%' and
--checks the job is currently not running
name not in (
Select C.Name as [JobName]
from (Select max(Session_id) as Session_Id from msdb.dbo.syssessions) A
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity B on A.Session_id=B.Session_ID
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs C on B.job_id=C.Job_ID
where B.stop_execution_date is null AND B.run_requested_date is not null)
--makes sure the job already did not run today
and cast(Z.run_requested_date as date)<>cast(getdate() as date)
order by name
Execute msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_Name=@jobName
set @a=@a+1
End
Hope it Helps!!

Reporting Agent Job Scheduling problem

hi All,
I am trying to schedule reporting agent job. I have few pre calculated webtemplates in one reporting agent scheduling package. when i try to schedule it and go to "start condition" - I want to put "After Event". I am selecting Event and giving the parameter name. But when i save and go out the job is already scheduled (checked in sm37). so I tried to chk the job condition again and the event i selected is not there !!!!
I want to create after even condition and schedule that parameter via mainframe as our all job schedule through main frame only !!! can some one tell me why its not working with reporting agent ??
I will definately assign the points.

dinesh and SB,
thank you for your reply. understood your point. but what i m asking is when i put "after event" criteria in the start selection... wouldnt it show that always when ever i go to Reporting Agent scheduling Package --> right click --> schedule --> start condition (i meant the event name and parameter should be saved there)
but once i save it and get out from the scheduling package i can see the job has been scheduled but its not showing that its even controlled job !!!
is it possible to use "after event" option in Reproting agent's job ?
I have few queries under one Reporting Agent scheduling package which is added in one process chain - the PC is running once a month - i added RA at the end of the process chain and the variant will be schedule by mainframe once the process chain has completed successfully. now 2nd thing is: i need to run Reporting Agent job every single day. so need to schedule it twice. we schedule everything by main frame. so if i can save "after event" criteria then i can schedule that parameter by mainframe. the problem is the start condition is not saving my after event condition entries or parameter names.
I hope i m clear. pl. guide its kind a urgent.

Reporting Agent job failed

Hi Experts,
A job whcih starts with RA******... is assumed as reporting agent job, this job was seen as canceled in SM37.
what the steps we can take to analyse and correct this job.
please reply very urgent.
thanks in advance
Sunil.

Check the job log, it would give you a better picture...
If you can't extract much information from the job, you could probably do a copy of this job in SM37 & try executing it.

It is possible to run a timer job in Office 365 online?

Hi All,
Is it possible to run a timer job on 1st of every month for a list in office 365? I have a requirement that I need to send data of current month via email on 1st of every month. should I use timer job in Office 365?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Darsh,
There is no option available to run a timer job in SharePoint Online (Office 365), SharePoint timer job option is available only in SharePoint On-premise.
Microsoft Office 365 provide an alternate of the SharePoint timer Job "Web Jobs" on Azure. You can create Web Job by 2 types
Web Job as a App on SharePoint
Web Job as a scheduler

Note:
My source server is 32 bit and development environment in 64 bit
if anybody have idea please share your knowledge

Hi BIRam,
Based on the current information, the issue may be caused by the factor that the SQL Server Agent Service Account doesn’t have access to the MySQL server. Try to create a SQL Server Agent Proxy account that has sufficient permission on the MySQL server.
In addition, also pay attention to the package protection level setting.
For more information, please see:

Run SQL Agent Job in endless loop(When it's done, start over again)

Hi All,
There is an SQL Agent Job containing a complex Integration Services Package performing some ETL Jobs. It takes between 1 and 4 hours to run, depending on our data sources. The Job currently runs daily, without problems. What I would like to do now is to
let it run in an endless loop, which means: When it's done, start over again.
The scheduler doesn't seem to provide this option. I found that it would be possible to use the steps interface to go to step one after the last step is finished, but there's a problem using that method: If I need to stop the job, I would need to do that in
a forceful way. However I would like to be able to let the job stop after the next iteration. How can I do that?
Thanks in Advance...

Seriously I cant think of a reason for continuosly running a step like this
Do you mean you need to keep on polling db for something continuosly ?
If thats the requirement there's no need of continuosly calling the step
Instead of that you can include a loop with wait logic to keep on checking for your condition until it satisfies. You can WAITFOR clause for that
see an example here where I've implemented similar logic in SSIS

Reporting AGent problem need help immediately

I have schedule a job everyday for reporting agent. Which includes 6 reports init with precalculated webtemplate. The reason to use this is that everyday morning the job will run before users use those reports and it will add that in cache so even if users run that reports first time it will be faster in performance.
Once the job is done i can see those entries in cache memory. But when I run the report its not using cache. it takes forever to execute for the first time. after running the report on web i checked the cache entries and i saw strange thing that when i run the report for the first time its replaces the previous entry of that report from cache with the current one. (eg. Reporting Agent job was finished at 4:00am in the morning - i could see the queries in cache memory with my id and time stamp 4:00am. But when i run the report at 7:00am it takes longer time and after running the report if i check cache entry for that perticular report i dont see 4:00am entry instead of that i see 7:00am entry)
Can some one tell me why its acting weird ??
FYI: When i created reporting agent setting there are 4 options (checkbox) under calculate section:
1. Data
2. HTML for Web Browser
3. HTML for Pocket IE
4. Excel
in above options i just selected "Data" - will it might be the reason when i run the query on web its not using cache for the first time ??

Symptom
The reusability of the cache is poor when the "Not changeable during query navigation" variable setting is set. A preliminary calculation is not useful in this case.
Other terms
OLAP, cache, cache key, cache entries, reusability, reusage
preliminary calculation, variable not changeable during query navigation
Reason and Prerequisites
The various entries for each variable setting have different keys for "Not changeable during query navigation".
Solution
The key for queries in the OLAP cache comprises the following: "query", "variables not changeable during navigation" and "selection hierarchies".
To reuse cache entries, the cache always returns complete value sets that have already been precalculated and stored or subsets of these value sets. For reusage, the cache can only find subsets of value sets that have already been precalculated and stored if the key for the subset is a subset of the key for the value set that has already been calculated.
If the setting for query variables is set to "Not changeable during query navigation", a separate cache entry is created at the "Variables/hierarchies" cache level for each query selection. To enable this reusage, you must select exactly the same variable selection, since this results in the relevant key. In this case, a similarity check was performed in the cache for a query at variable level. In practice, a preliminary calculation is executed with the "*" variable selection. Usually, a user will choose another variable selection to be output. When you set the variables to "Not changeable during query navigation", you cannot reuse the precalculated value since the key does not correspond.
If the "Changeable during query navigation" variable setting is selected for a query, the variables are no longer part of the "Hierarchy/Variable" key, but rather the selection conditions (which are one cache hierarchy level lower). Therefore, the same "Hierarchy/variable" subtree for the query is selected for each variable selection (if the entry has already been calculated and stored) and checked to see whether the value set (or a subset) is considered to be a resulting set. If a value set with "*" was now selected with the preliminary calculation, this could be reused by selecting and returning the relevant value set for the subselection.
For increased reusability, the variable setting should be set to "Changeable during query navigation" and the preliminary calculation should take place with "*".
However, you should note that the preliminary calculation must have selected actual supersets. The OLAP processor only examines subset relationships in the cache. The system does not search and "merge" several different cache entries to determine the results of a query (therefore a multi-dimensional approach is not possible either).

Is it possible to send report results as an email attachment in BW3.x ?

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement wherein I need to automate the process to run the report via Reporting Agent..and also to send the results as an e-mail attachment.
Is it possible to do so in BW 3.x..?
I was trying to see if I can run the report using the Reporting Agent Settings, using the Web Templates tab. However I did not see any follo-up actions available for Web templates, but found so for the Exceptions.
Can you please help and let us know if there is a way to do that and what options are available..?
