Please help I really need this to work if there is anything I have have missed please let me know and also if the is anymore information I can provide that will help thank you.

Hello,
As mentioned by jmcmullen, SQL Server Agent is a feature not available on SQL Server Express Edition.
Try the following workaround.

  • SQL Agent wont start after a SQL 2012 install

    Ive been trying for several days to install an instance of SQL 2012 on a server, but im having this problem where when the instance is created, the SQL Agent shows 'Agent XPs disabled'.  
    I have enabled this using sp_configure 'Agent XPs',1 
    But when I turn on the agent it stays on for about 30 seconds and then turns off again. (It is 2012 enterprise i am using)
    The agent service account is an administrator on the Server. I have installed SP1, but the agent keeps failing. I have installed 7 or 8 times.
    Please help!
    Thanks,

  • Log Reader Agent and Snapshot Agent wont start

    Hi There,
    I've two SQL 2012 servers with multiple instances installed.
    I've started replicating the databases in these instances using transactional replication and thus far they've worked without a hitch.
    One of my instances, annoyingly, has an issue where the Log Reader Agent and Snapshot Agent refuse to start, and I've followed exactly the same process as with the other instances\databases.
    The Agents are configured to make use of a domain user account with sysadmin permissions to the instances on both servers.
    I get the following two error when I View Log Reader Agent Status:
    The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 2 (Run agent.).
    I've asked the agent to run as my DOMAIN\sqlservice account, so I've no idea why it's moaning about sa?!!?
    I get the following error when I View Snapshot Agent Status:
    The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Di
    If I try to start either agent I'm told that the request to run job was refused because the job has been suspended, "Changed database context"??  Error 22022.
    Can anyone help?

    This is because your job owner is sa.  Right click on your job and notice the owner - but is should be sa.
    You likely have another issue. You may need to run the job and configure it for logging to see what the error is.

  • SQL developer wont start on Mac OSX Lion

    Hi there,
    hoping someone can help me with this one, I've been running SQL Developer 3 on the macbook no problems for about a year, I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and now when I try to start SQL Developer it will not run.
    I have downloaded and installed the latest version of java as directed on the SQL Developer download page.
    When I start SQL developer and view the Activity Monitor the "bash" process starts to use 100% CPU very quickly and SQL developer does not even get to the splash screen.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of diagnosing this issue? Is there a log file I can review or way of starting SQL developer with specific arguments?
    Kind regards,
    stu

    so try setting this in the SetJavaHome command for your SQL Developer (the bin folder will be added internally)
    I'm not completely sure as i do not use macs, but it's worth a try.

  • Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

    Hi! 
    I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
    I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
    09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,
    09/13/2013 10:46:22,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #1)...,,,,

    09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
    As you can see, SQL Server service  terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
    service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
    to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this.  How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

    Hello,
    SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
    Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of
    select @@version
    >>Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service.No this is not the case
    >>Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly
    Did you checked sql server errorlog and windows event log completely.Please do so and paste if you find some more info

  • Sql 2012 server for SCCM 2012 - Agent not starting

    Hi ,
      In our environment we have a Sql 2012, and it was working fine till now.  but after installation of RDP role and subsequent installation of certificates for remote desktop in the SCCM server ( SQL 2012 is
    installed in it) 
    we are facing the issue - Sql server management studio not connecting ( windows authenticaltion)
    1) A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)A
    2) I tried starting the sql agent service in services.msc  and the below error came 
    The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped. 
    Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
    3) In the Sql Server configuration manager also tried starting the sql agent but 
    The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. 
    Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
    The widows event logs show this error
    A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. 
    The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 20. The Windows SChannel error state is 960.
    We have removed the certificate and the RDP role in that . 
    Can anyone please help on this

    I would check for error messages in the SQL Server ERROLOG file and also Agent's SQLAGENT.OUT file.

  • Sql Server Agent not starting automatically in failover in a clustered environment.

    Hi,
    We are running Sql Server 2008 R2 as a 2 node cluster in Windows 2008 R2
    server. In the Sql Server Configuration manager we find that service of
    the Sql Server(database engine) as got a start mode as manual being
    an instance in the 2 node cluster. When the node in which the service is
    running fails the the Sql Server service gets started in the other node. However
    we find that the  Sql Server Agent service(whose start mode is also in manual)
    does not get started automatically in the other node along with the Sql Server
    service.Why does the cluster service do not start Sql Server agent service as well.
    Should we make the Sql Server agent service start mode to be automatic
    instead of being manual as it is now? Thanking you in advance
    Binny Mathew

    Folks - the startup type of all clustered services should be set to manual - when you virtualize SQL Services, they are put in manual startup mode and this should not be changed. It is the cluster manager which starts the SQL and SQLAgent when a
    failover happens (SQL does not start SQLAgent). If your SQLAgent doesn't start after a cluster failover, check the SQLAgent logs to see what the root cause of the problem is and rectify it. You should not change the startup type to "Automatic" -
    leave it as manual
    Satish Kartan www.sqlfood.com
    I suspect that your clustered SQLAgent resource is currently NOT dependent on SQL resource. If not, make SQLAgent dependent on SQL resource, which will coerce SQLAgent to wait for the SQL resource to come online before it brings itselft (SQLAgent) resource
    online, when a failover happens.

  • Starting sql agent manually - operating rules

    Hi We run std 2008 r2.  Today after overriding the 1st step's behavior in a sql agent job to end and report success after completing successfully, I
    1) rt clicked "start at step..." (saw the turning green arrow on rt pop up immediately) 
    2) highlighted 1st step on left pop up and then clicked ok, that made left pop up go away
    3) perhaps incorrectly clicked ok on rt pop up where green arrow shows
    I don't see anything in view history for that job. 
    But yesterday when it failed same smoke test I saw (and continue to see) that failure entry in history.
    Before clicking ok on rt pop up I saw "success" in step 1 on that pop up which was way too fast for the pkg it calls. 
    I see evidence in the pkg's flat log file that it at least started but I don't see any evidence that the log is growing which makes me think I shouldn't have clicked ok on the rt sql agent pop up. 
    I did  what I could to look for evidence in running pkgs on the IS server that the pkg is still running but cant come to a definitive conclusion.
    What are the rules and behavior when it comes to that rt popup where the green arrow revolves and someone is starting a sql agent job manually?  Is it synchronous or asynchronous with its spawned ssis pkg?  If its synchronous and I'm not supposed
    to touch it while its running, how do I know when its done if it shows success in the status column right away?

    Is it possible the Job is still running?  Run the command below to see if it is still exectuting
    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_help_job
    @Job_name = 'Your Job Name'

  • SQL 2005 Server Agent not starting job

    Apologies if this question has been asked elsewhere on these forums, I've had a search around and have not been able to find something with the same issues.
    Last year I took over management of a SQL server (SQL2005 on a Server 2003 R2 O/S), as part of the expansion of operation the DB server is being used for an agent job was created to take customer information from our web site and, where the customer has
    selected to be contacted, pass those details to our dialler system, so we can rech our customer ideally within 20 minutes of them interacting with the website.
    This job runs daily Monday to Friday from 8am to 4:30pm at 15 minute intervals and once a day at 5pm on Saturday and Sunday(same job with muliple schedules), 3 week ago the Saturday job failed to start, then following week the Sunday job failed to start
    then last weekend the job failed to start on both Saturday and Sunday. There have been no updates or changes made to the job or the server and the job has run for 6 months with this multiple scehduling without any issues at all.
    I have checked through the server event/system/application logs and the SQL logs (that I know of) and can find no evidence of errors that would have an effect on the SQL or SQL Agent operation, I can also find no evidence that the server made an attempt
    to start the job at all, the application log will normally show an event 12288 and 12289 with the source of SQLISPackage for the start and stop of the job. There is no event start notice shown in the application event log on weekend days the job has failed
    to start. I've check the Agent service status, as well as all the other SQL services and they are all running as they should be.
    Does anyone have any ideas where I should be looking next for the cause of this issue or has anyone ever experienced this before and found a cause?
    Many thanks
    Stuart.

    Hi all,
    thank you for your replies, I will try to address the issues/questions you have raised.
    @Satish - The job takes on average 40 seconds to complete, so there would no chance of the previous job run still being active and stopping a new attempt. Also on the days that the job has failed it is the only time that day that the job is run.
    @Sofiya Li - There are no errors to report, the job simply fails to start at all, this is bourne out
    by the 'Job Step Execution History For The Last 7 Days' this shows no that the job ran sucessfully with no fails or retrys, so there are no error messages to post or invesitgate. Running the job manually results in a success (but the job runs every 15 minutes
    anyway during the day without fails), the job uses the same credentials during the daily 15 minutes runs on weekdays as it does on the weekends, also if the website had any issues capturing customer information the missing information would not be in the table
    that the dialling information is drawn from and the job should still start and run even if the website capture is not working(these are seperate jobs), it would just return no information. 
    @Shanky_621 There is normal scheduled maintenance that runs on the DB but this occurs at midnight. The
    logs show that all services were running and nothing was in a wait/held state.
    Thanks again for your suggesions
    Stuart

  • Sql server agent not starting

    I installed sql server 2008 r2 sp2
    sql server agent is not allowing me to start it.
    I run SSCM right click agent but start,stop menus are disabled

    i have only one sql instance named SQLEXPRESS
    The SQL Server Agent is installed with the Express Edition of SQL Server, but it's not a Feature of the Express Edition, therefore you can't start the Agent.

    But I want to change to "service account" as [domain\svc_XXX] for MSSQLserver and SQL agent.
    I add the [domain\svc_XXX]  in local security policy - "Log as a service"
    and also add in SSMS - Security - New Login (windows authentication.
    When I started the MSSQLserver and SQL agent using the [domain\svc_XXX], I got an error 17058.  Initerrlog: could not open error log file."  Operating system error=3 (The system cannot find the path specified).
    I don't know where else to look at..

  • SQL Agent won't start

    Hi,
    I tried to start the SQL Agent on my SQL 2008 Server but got this error:
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    Unable to start service SQLSERVERAGENT on server ACHSQL12. (mscorlib)
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The SQLSERVERAGENT service on ACHSQL12 started and then stopped. (ObjectExplorer)
    BUTTONS:
    OK
    Is there anything I should check?
    Regards
    Paul

    You see the article for getting update :
    Before you can start to use FILESTREAM, you must enable FILESTREAM on the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. Enabling/configuring FILESTREAM is a bit different from configuring other SQL features because it involves making machine wide changes
    and not only SQL instance changes. Also, FILESTREAM configuration has been changed for the February CTP to properly separate the Windows Built-in administrator and SQL administrator roles. In the November CTP, enabling/disabling FILESTREAM required Built-in
    Admin privilege. Enabling FILESTREAM is now made up of 2 admin layers:
    1-     
    The Windows configuration layer handles Windows related setup changes required for FILESTREAM. This requires built in administrator privilege. FILESTREAM settings in the SQL Configuration Manager (SQL-CM) represent this admin layer.
    2-     
    The SQL configuration layer handles the setup changes required within the boundaries of the SQL instance. The SQL Admin can now use sp_configure/RECONFIGURE to handle this FILESTREAM configuration.
