SQL Agent Job Notification - Database Mail problem

Hi
I'm a little stumped. Have setup database mail on SQL Server 2008 (SP1 x64) and its working fine except when its supposed to send out a SQL Agent job notification.
I've enabled database mail on SQL Agent and have specified a profile, but when it tries to send an email on agent job completion it errors with "NOTE: Failed to notify '<operator>' via email."
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Hi Webdawg,
As suggested above, try these steps.
1. Try test email first, this can be by done (right click on database mail under mangement folder). prior to that you should already have a profile configured to send the emails and make sure you got the right SMTP server and do not block
port 25.
2.If test is succeeds, enable mail option under sql server agent properties and select 'database mail' and corresponding profile.Add the reciepents email to the operators under sql server agent(check the enabled option here). Restart the SQL sever
here.
3. Create your sql job and in the notifcations section you should see email option and should have the operator email you configured above.
Try it out. let us know. Hope it helps.
If the test succeeds and still you did not get the email from sql job, check the database mail log and check whether it is being queued. let us know.
Please mark as 'Answer', if the solution solves your problem.

SQL Server Agent Job And Database Mail - Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters

We have a stored procedure that we are trying to call with a SQL Server Agent Job. The stored procedure calls Database Mail. This is SQL 2008. The execute task is simply:
USE [Production]
GO
EXEC [dbo].[JOB_EMAIL_SCHEDULED_REPORTS]
GO
When the job runs, it is erroring out immediately, with the error:
Execute as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22050). The step failed.
When we go into SQL Server Manager and just execute the SQL query, it works though. Something within the SQL Server Agent job, and Database Mail is causing problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

Justin,
If you use SSMS then the procedure is executed under a different user when compared to running using a SQL Server Agent Job.
Isolate the problem by running a SQL Server agent job that sends a mail. Also check if the NT Authority\Network Service account is
in good standing. Look at the below thread with a similar problem that had an expired account.

LcsCDR & QoEMetrics Purge and Usage Summary SQL Agent Jobs

Hello.
On our SQL instance that hosts the LcsCDR & QoEMetrics databases I have the following SQL Server Agent Jobs:
LcsCDR_Purge
LcsCDR_UsageSummary
QoEMetrics_Purge
QoEMetrics_UsageSummary
I'd like to know if anyone else has these same jobs on their instances as it's unclear looking at the job descriptions, when they were created, and the code they run if these are part of the core Lync system or something that has been set up randomly
afterwards.
One thing I do know is that these jobs don't work correctly when you use database mirroring. I will elaborate on this if/when I can find out any more information about them first.
Thanks

Thank you for the reply.
The problem with these jobs is that when they attempt to run against a database which is a mirror, it causes the job to fail. That would not seem to be a big deal right, except our policy (and many other SQL shops I imagine) is to send e-mail notifications
each and every time a SQL agent job fails on any server, not just those associated with Lync.
As it stands these jobs are not configured on either the principal or mirror server to notify anyone as I’d get an e-mail every hour on the hour from the mirror server telling me that a job has failed (even though it didn’t actually need to do anything
) giving the impression something is wrong somewhere. This is quite a common trap to fall into with SQL Agent jobs and database mirroring.
Remember that because as Lync uses automatic failover either server could be the mirror at any given time so there is no mileage in setting the e-mail notifications on just the server that is currently the principal.
What this job should do then is when it attempts to run on the mirror, check if it’s the mirror first and if it is then do nothing instead of failing each time. This will enable e-mail notifications to be set up on the jobs on both servers, so when
the job fails we know there is potentially a genuine problem to be investigated.
Each job contains two steps, I’ll use the QoEMetrics_UsageSummary as the example.
The code in step 1 is this, which causes the job to error out if it is attempting to run against the mirror.
declare @_MirroringRole int
set @_MirroringRole = (
select mirroring_role
from sys.database_mirroring
where database_id = DB_ID('QoEMetrics')
if (@_MirroringRole is not NULL and @_MirroringRole = 2) begin
raiserror('Database is mirrored', 16, 1)
end
else begin
print ('Database is not mirrored')
end
I re-wrote this job to run in one-step like this, which runs from the master database, which as I mentioned above doesn’t make the job error out when it realises it’s trying to run against a mirror.
DECLARE @_MirroringRole INT
SET @_MirroringRole = ( SELECT mirroring_role
FROM sys.database_mirroring
WHERE database_id = DB_ID('QoEMetrics'))
-- if this is not a mirrored database or it's the principal, attempt to run usage summary op
IF (@_MirroringRole IS NULL OR @_MirroringRole = 1)
BEGIN
DECLARE @_Sql NVARCHAR(4000)
SET @_Sql =
'USE [QoEMetrics];
DECLARE @_UpdatingSkipped INT
EXEC dbo.RtcRegularMaintainDatabase @_UpdatingSkipped = @_UpdatingSkipped output'
EXEC (@_Sql)
END
ELSE -- if the database is a mirror, don't do anything
BEGIN
PRINT 'there is nothing to do, the database is a mirror'
END
The same logic can be applied to the other 3 jobs and I was intending to suggest it as a connect item, except there doesn’t seem to be a section for Lync so I will contact product support and see what they think.
Thanks again.

Sql agent jobs based on the database and the user

Dear All,
I have a requirement of configuring an user who should only have access to one database out of all and also able to create, view and modify sql agent jobs only for the allowed database. For allowing to see the selected database to particular user I have
granted permissions as per below,
create LOGIN mhtc WITH PASSWORD='mhtc', CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
USE master;
GO
DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO mhtc;
USE master;
GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::MHTC TO mhtc;
GO
but user not able to see sql agent jobs so I want to give necessary permission to this user to view,create and modify sql agent jobs only in allowed databases. Basically I want to separate users from each database and separate sql agent jobs based on the
user and database.
Your expert advices are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Manjula

I want to give necessary permission to this user to view,create and modify
sql agent jobs only in allowed databases.
Hello Manjula,
SQL Server Agent Jobs are not created / dedicated for a user database. The Jobs are store in System database "msdb".
See
Implement SQL Server Agent Security for Details about required permissions.

Management Studio Crashing When Adding SSIS Step to SQL Agent Job

Hi
I am running Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2, SQL Server Management Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2012.
I have existing SQL Agent Jobs that run SSIS packages and they all currently work. However, if I try to edit them or add a new job that uses a SSIS package Management Studio will crash. I was having this problem a couple weeks ago when I was still
on SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU9, so I updated to SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2 and the problem went away for a couple weeks and I was able to add new SQL Agent jobs that run SSIS packages. But now it issue is back and there are no new updates to try and fix it.
Has anyone seen this before and found a reliable fix to it?
Steps to cause crash:
1) Open new SQL Agent Job
2) Select Steps and add a New Step
4) Change the job type to SQL Server Integration Services Package.
5) SSMS Crashes

I ended up being able to work around this without having to recreate everything on a Windows Server 2008 R2. I did this by setting up an azure point to site VPN from
my computer to the Windows Server 2012 hosted on azure. I was then able to connect SSMS from my computer to the Azure VM allowing me to create and edit new SQL Agent jobs that run SSIS packages. Here are the steps to do this
1) Connect to the VPN from another machine besides the server.
2) Open SSMS using the runas.exe command with the Domain\User Name of a Windows account on the server.
- Ex. Runas.exe /netonly /user:DOMAIN\USER "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe"
2) Connect to the VM's Database Engine using its internal IP address and the port that SQL Server is listening on (default is 1433) and a SQL Login
setup on the server.
-Ex IP, 10.0.0.1,1433
3) Create a new job with the type SQL Server Integration
Services Package. Select the package source (SSIS Catalog). I could not get the server to be automatically discovered here so enter the server’s internal IP address and select the package you want to run.
4) Right click the new SQL Agent Job and choose Script Job As, CREATE To, New Query Window. This is the script to create the
SQL Agent Job and it needs to be edited to contain the Name of the server on the internal IP address that was used earlier.
5) Edit the @command= line of the script to use the server name. Change the highlighted part below to the server name.
- Ex . @command=N'/ISSERVER "\"\SSISDB\PACKAGELOCATION\"" /SERVER
"\"10.0.0.1\"" /Par "\"$ServerOption::LOGGING_LEVEL(Int16)\"";1 /Par "\"$ServerOption::SYNCHRONIZED(Boolean)\"";True /CALLERINFO SQLAGENT /REPORTING E',
- Change to this
- @command=N'/ISSERVER "\"\SSISDB\PACKAGELOCATION\""
/SERVER SERVERNAME /Par "\"$ServerOption::LOGGING_LEVEL(Int16)\"";1 /Par "\"$ServerOption::SYNCHRONIZED(Boolean)\"";True /CALLERINFO SQLAGENT /REPORTING E',
6) Now change the name of the package in the script and run it. Now the new package can be edited in the GUI to change things like the schedule and alerts. Also you
can edit any existing packages.

How to Run SSIS Package through SQL AGENT Job

I am good with SSIS, I created a package which will load the excel files to SQL SERVER tables. To Implement this I wrote the C# code to extract the first sheet name only, and then
package will load the data present the first sheet only. The package working fine when i run this through BIDS. But the same package throwing error at C# code step when i am running this package through SQL AGENT JOB. When i searched for this, i have seen
many posts saying that, this is happening becoz of using Microsoft.interop.excel references inside the c# code. Please help me with this. Is there any alternate way in c# to extract the first sheet name(not based on ascending order) of an excel file with out
using interop. Or
How to configure SQL AGENT job to run suceessfully when using interop inside the code.
My UAT server is of 64 bit. And i have to run this in the same server.

SQL Agent Job failing - not using credentials in the config file for Data source

Hi
We have an SSIS pkg, that is secheduled as SQL Agent job using proxy account. The pkg contanins data source for connecting different SQL servers and the proxy account do not have access to the external DBs. The data source credentials are stored in the Config
file.
Why the job is not using the credentials in the config file and try to use the proxy account and failing.
Do the proxy account need access to all the external dbs in the pkg, and then what is the purpose of the config file.
I am sorry, i am not SSIS person trying to understand. If any one can explain tha will be great!!
Thank you!

SSIS Package will only run as SQL Agent Job when I have remote desktop to server open.

Hey guys, so I have another problem to add to the already massive 'SSIS/SQL Server Agent Job' pile. After days of searching, I can't seem to find anything specific to my problem though.
The setup is as follows: a SSIS package that refreshes and saves excel files that are hosted on a server. The package runs fine on the local machine, using BIDS on the server, and will even work as a SQL Agent Job on the server IF there is a remote
desktop connection to the server. To elaborate, if I simply run the job as you would normally do it will fail and give the below error. If I run the job while either myself, or a different machine, has a remote desktop connection to the server where the
job is scheduled - it will run successfully.
Below is the error from the History File of the job. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:
In my previous post the Identity in DCOM Config file for Microsoft Excel was set as The Interactive User. The job was working only when I had a remote connection to the server open.
If I set the Identity to 'This User' and use the username and password of the server login account, it will work as a scheduled job without needing an open remote connection to the server. So it works, great! but I have reservations setting this
for all instances of Excel for the server. I'm sure other users have different accounts they use for running Excel. Any suggestions around this?

Hi LiamSexton,
It should be the server-side Automation of Office issue described in the following KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit
unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
User Identity: Office applications assume a user identity when the applications are run, even when Automation starts the applications. The applications try to initialize toolbars, menus, options, printers, and some add-ins based on settings in the user
registry hive for the user who launches the application. Many services run under accounts that have no user profiles (such as the SYSTEM account or the IWAM_[servername] accounts). Therefore, Office may not initialize correctly on startup. In this situation,
Office returns an error on the CreateObject function or the CoCreateInstance function. Even if the Office application can be started, other functions may not work correctly if no user profile exists.
To work around the issue, you can refer to the following alternative introduced in the article:
Most server-side Automation tasks involve document creation or editing. Office 2007 supports new Open XML file formats that let developers create, edit, read, and transform file content on the server side. These file formats use the System.IO.Package.IO
namespace in the Microsoft .NET 3.x Framework to edit Office files without using the Office client applications themselves. This is the recommended and supported method for handling changes to Office files from a service.

SQL Agent Job Fails To Run A SSIS Package

Thanks for trying that option . It looks like there is an issue with the driver . Can you try to install/uninstall the driver once again from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255.

Hi,
I can able ran the SSIS package in BIDS, since set to false in Run64BitRuntime property.
Then I created SQL server Agent job I tried the following ways
Step 1:
Type is set as SQL Server Integration Services Packages,
Run as - SQL Server Agent Service Account
Package source - FileSystem
then Execution option tab I selected 32 bit runtime
and then run the job I am getting the below error

The step failed.
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:

User created SQL Agent Job that uses linked server with Windows authentication

OK, here's what I want to do, but not sure exactly what I need to accomplish it.
Environment
Windows 2008 Enterprise
SQL 2012 Enterprise
SQL Server & SQL Agent running under AD account (which has local Windows Administrative privileges...yes, I know..bad!)
Linked server to Teradata utilizing AD account mappings (the linked server works successfully and each windows login is mapped to a Teradata LDAP login)
Requirement
Allow non sysadmins to create SQL Agent jobs which execute TSQL statements which use OPENQUERY(LDAPLinkedServer, '....) syntax
I've already given the non sysadmins the necessary permissions to create and run SQL Agent jobs, and I understand that the jobs run under their login context, but I suspect that I'm missing something when it comes to the linked server.
Each windows user could have access to different databases/tables on the Teradata system that even I (the SQL Server sysadmin) don't have access to.
How can I facilitate this functionality? Any ideas?

I think I may have been over complicating the Teradata piece. The authentication methodology in Teradata is LDAP, which just means that it authenticates against AD, but you still have to submit your Windows login & password. It doesn't automatically
authenticate you just because you're logged into Windows.
The linked server has the mapping for the individual windows logins like:
Local Login = <domain>.<windows id>
Remote User = <windows id>
Remote Password = <windows password>
This setup requires the user to have to change the passwords in the linked server whenever they change their passwords according to domain policy (every xx days)...but we've created a utility proc that they can use to do this.
So, I'm thinking that Teradata isn't really part of this equation.

Error with SSIS package running as SQL Agent job

I have a strange issue.
I have a SQL Agent job that execute 5 steps, each step is an SSIS package that imports a CSV file to a temp table, then executes a SQL script to update a production table.
This job runs every 3 mins, every day, and has been for over a year.
Every once in a while it will start failing on step 2. Sometime it only happens for a couple of runs, other times I have to restart the SQL server. Once it corrects itself, it could be months before it happens again, but usually happens every
few weeks.
The error in the job history is: "Unable to bulk copy data. You may need to run this package as an administrator"
Obviously I have all the permissions correct, as it was running successfully every 3 mins before this error suddenly starts. I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. It is always on step 2, which is identical to step 1 except its a different CSV file
going to a different table. As I typed this, it failed twice, then was successful afterwards.
Any ideas where to look for further information? I've checked the event viewer and looked in the SQL logs, nothing stands out at this time.

Hi Kerberos35,
It seems to be caused by the UAC feature which makes SSIS use the low-permissions token of the administrator Windows account under which the job runs. This issue is described in the following KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2216489/en-us
To resolve the issue, you can install the latest service pack for your SQL Server. To work around this issue, you can also use one of the following two methods:
Method 1: Replace the SQL Server Destination components in the Data Flow Tasks that are failing with OLE DB Destination components that point to the same SQL Server connection manager.
Method 2: Create a SQL Server Agent proxy by using a Windows account that is not a member of the local Administrators group after you assign Create Global Objects permissions to that account.
To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
In the details pane, double-click Create global objects.
In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.
In the Select Users or Group dialog box, click the user accounts that you want to add, click Add, and then click OK two times.

Unable to Run SSIS Package Through SQL Agent Job

Hi,
I recently upgraded SQL server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. I also upgraded all the packages on the server. The package runs fine from BIDS. However when I try to run the package through the SQL Agent Job it fails with the error below:
Executed as user: A. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 11.0.2100.60 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Started: 11:43:04 PM Could not load package "\FolderA\Package.dtsx"
because of error 0xC00160AE. Description: Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer "S2345WE" failed with the following error: "Access is denied." By default, only administrators have access to the
Integration Services service. On Windows Vista and later, the process must be running with administrative privileges in order to connect to the Integration Services service. See the help topic for information on how to configure access to the service. Source:
Started: 11:43:04 PM Finished: 11:43:04 PM Elapsed: 0.016 seconds. The package could not be loaded.
Using Windows Authentication I am able to login to Integration services through SSMS. In the SQL Agent job I am using package store to execute the package. I have admin permission on the server. The integration services currently uses my credentials while
running.I am not sure why I am getting this error.
Please advice..
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am following website link:
http://www.toadworld.com/platforms/sql-server/b/weblog/archive/2013/09/17/powershell-script-to-monitor-a-service-on-a-group-of-servers-html-formatted-email-output.aspx
I require to gather status details about all the SQL Agent jobs in the environment on multiple SQL Servers.
I tried to edit the script using:
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO")
$sqlServerName = 'localhost\developer'
$sqlServer = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server($sqlServerName)
foreach($job in $sqlServer.JobServer.Jobs)
$job | select Name, OwnerLoginName, IsEnabled, LastRunDate, LastRunOutcome, DateCReated, DateLastModified
but SQL Agent jobs are not reflecting in the mail output...
requesting help...!!
Thanks in Advance.
