SQL Server Agent and Jobs and executing @EventData

I have a SQL Server Agent Job and within it a Job Step which states "Execute Report Subscriptions" and a command which has...
exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job '6FF53AED-855F-43AB-9FB7-064062B8012E' --9:07 subscription
GO
WAITFOR DELAY '00:08';
Now, I find within SQL Server Agent the Job '6FF53AED-855F-43AB-9FB7-064062B8012E' and its step command which is...
exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='ca4e5410-2758-4a1a-9b06-513821e0d962'
How can I drill-down further into the @EventData 'ca4e5410-2758-4a1a-9b06-513821e0d962' to see what it does? I do not see 'ca4e5410-2758-4a1a-9b06-513821e0d962' within SQL Server Agent and Jobs or am I way off base here as to what exactly the @EventData
parameter seems to be?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
According to your description, you need to know the what does SQL Server Reporting Services do when fire a subscription, right?
When you create a subscription several things are added to the RS server
A row is placed in the Subscriptions table identifying the name of the report, along with parameter settings, data driven query info and so on to process the subscription
A row is placed in the Schedule and ReportSchedule tables with the timing of the subscription
A SQL Server Agent job is created to control the scheduled execution of the report, and this is stored in the sysjobs and sysjobsteps of the MSDB database.
When the subscription runs several things happen
The SQL Server Agent job fires and puts a row in the Event table in the RS catalog with the settings necessary to process the subscription
The RS server service has a limited number of threads (2 per CPU) that poll the Event table every few seconds looking for subscriptions to process
When it finds an event, it puts a row in the Notifications table and starts processing the subscription
Please refer to the links below to see the details.

Will Sql Server Agent start job when previous instance is running?

Just as an example, I have a job that is set to run every 5 minutes. The job takes 30 minutes to complete. So sql server agent executes the job at 9:30AM. Will the job run again at 9:35AM even though the previous instance hasn't completed?
In my case, I would like to reproduce what Task Scheduler already has, which is to
not begin a new instance until the previous instance has completed. When the previous instance completes, then 5 minutes later, the job will be run again.
Thanks.

Apparently, it will skip it until the job is completed: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/865042/will-a-sql-server-job-skip-a-scheduled-run-if-it-is-already-running

SQL Server Agent daily job indicates completed but stored procedure and tables indicate otherwise -- 2nd time in 4 years also on Sunday?

Hi
We have scheduled job running a console application daily. For some reason on Sunday's only the scheduler says it ran successfully but no email confirmation, table entries and the normal processing occurs.
This happens only on a Sunday and for no explained reason. No problem on the day before or after...
I think this also happened with Daylight Savings adjustment. Has anyone else encountered this?
Any ideas or suggestions
Environment is:

Thanks for your reply. I was out sick all last week.
I too suspected our network and/or security features or maintenance.
Me and my manager decided to include a text log file which we append certain key points for each iteration when the vb.net console app runs to hopefully determine what is happening sporadically.
I created many errors and scenarios ( DB and network connectivity, unable to send email) and they were caught and appended to the logfile so all I can do is wait to see when/if this occurs.
Sincerely
George

Schedule SSIS packages as job in SQL Server Agent errors

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and created few SSIS packages and schedule them using SQL Server Agent and every time I try to schedule packages via SQL Server Agent my jobs keep failing. I am using domain/ione as the owner and when I invoke the job on
ServerA let's say and the job gets executed by domain/ServerA$ and fails as it does not have enough privileges. How do I fix this issue firstly without the proxy and why is the job being executed by domain/ServerA$ when the owner & user who invokes
it is domain/ione?
Thanks in advance............
Ione

Hi Ione,
The owner of any SQL jobs should be SA or any other non-expiring account
If you do not want the proxy used, then add the needed priveleges.
The owner of the job is one, the SSIS step gets executed by the account the Agent is running under.

Execution of a batch file within SSIS fails in Sql Server Agent Job

Hi All,
I have an SSIS Package, which simply runs a batch file , the code for the batch file is
MOVE \\cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB\CurrentAlerts\* \\cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB\AlertsArchive
If i run the SSIS package manually it runs fine and moves all the files, however if i run the package through a Sql Agent Job it fails with the following error
The directory "\\Cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB" does not exist
This is where the batch file is located, i am not able to understand if the SSIS package is running fine then why not the sql agent job?
I also tried to create a sql agent job using Operating System(CmdExec) and i copied my batch file code in the command i am running it as SQL Server Agent Service Account , and here it fails as
Executed as user: CAMELOT\svcDW. Access is denied. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed
Does this mean this user doesnt have the rights to excute a batch file? how did this user even come up i am not running it from this user i am running it from SQL Server Agent Service Account . I dont know who is that user and if he even has the rights to
execute a batch file.
Can someone please help me with any solution for this? either first way or second way anything works fine for me.
Thanks

Hi SQLDEV,
According to your description, you are experiencing the issue "The directory "\\Cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB" does not exist" when run the SSIS package
in SSMS by using SQL Server Agent, right?
In your scenario, since you can run the package in SSDT manually. So as per my understanding, the issue can be caused by that the Services Account of your SQL Server Agent do not have the permission on that folder. To avoid this issue, you can set the folder
permission for your SQL Server Agent account or change the services account to an account who have the corresponding permission. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Sql server agent jobs deleting problem

hi team,
while i am trying to deleting in the sql server agent disabled jobs through sql query, that time i am getting below error.
query is:
delete from dbo.sysjobs
where version_number=5
error message:
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK__sysjobsch__job_i__32E0915F". The conflict occurred in database "msdb", table "dbo.sysjobschedules", column 'job_id'.
The statement has been terminated.

Hi,
You can delete multiple jobs
by using SQL Server Management Studio:
1.In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
2.Expand SQL Server Agent.
3.Right-click Job Activity Monitor, and click View Job Activity.
4.In the Job Activity Monitor, select the jobs you want to delete, right-click your selection, and choose Delete jobs.
For your information:
Delete One or More Jobs

What is the best way to read, process, and write an Excel File Server side...SQL Server Agent Job

So I was using dynamic Excel commands to open and save as using...
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
and
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
which worked all fine and dandy client side. Then when I attempted to create a SQL Server Agent Job, this failed as a result of SQL Server side not being able to execute dynamic Excel commands.
So do I need to therefore try and do this function via Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 commands? And where can I find the commands and syntax to open and save as? I have to Open a .xlsx file, save it as a .xls file, and then open this newly created .xls file and
then save it as a .csv file.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85

I think you might be over complicating things.
You can use SSIS with Excel Source/Destination connections to read in, or output to an excel sheet/file.

What SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long

Is there a way to tell what SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long? View history isn't working in my case because it's only showing completed jobs. John Schroeder

You can use the "Job Activity Monitor" for doing this. Do the following steps. It will open up the Job Activity Monitor.
1.    In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
2.    Expand SQL Server Agent.
3.    Right-click Job Activity Monitor and click View Job Activity.
4.    In the Job Activity Monitor, you can view details about each job that is defined for this server.
In Job Activity Monitor page, we have column called Status. It will indicate whether job is executing or idle. Last Run column will give you the last invocation time of this job.
Use the following link for further reference.

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.

HOw to avoid DeadLocks when you schedule a Sql Server Agent Job and calling SSIS packages

Hi All,
I have scheduled 2 packages in in Sql Server Agent jobs .
First job which is having Package 1 executing at 11 AM and where I am inserting the data in the table.
Second job which is having Package 2 executing at 12 AM and where I am updating the data in the table based on the first job inserted records.
When I am executing my first job it taking more time and executing till 12 AM and from 12 AM my job 2 also starting ,so getting deadlocks conflicts because inserting happening from job1 and updating happening from Job 2.
How to avoid deadlocks and fix the issue.
Please Suggest .
Thanks & Regards,
Anand

Hi Anand,
Here is another solution, you can set the Job 2 not to run based on a schedule, and create another SQL Server Agent Job which starts at 12 AM and run with a specified time interval to execute a SQL statement in which you do the following steps:
1. Get the status information of Job 1 using the statement:
DECLARE @i int;
EXEC @i = msdb.dbo.sp_help_job @job_name = ‘Job Name'
2. If the value of @i is 1 which means the status of job 1 is success and current time is, then start the job 2. So, the statement is as follows:
IF @I = 1
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name= ‘Job Name’

Will dynamic Excel commands in a C# Edit Script run ok as a SSISDB Package and a SQL Server Agent Job?

I've seen some conflicting things in terms of dynamic Excel commands running in a SSISDB Package and a scheduled SQL Server Agent Job...things like that it's not supported...that it won't work...etc...
It's a pretty simple script...to open up a .xlsx file and save it as a .xls file. I am trying to be proactive here and the reason I did it this way is because I could not source the .xlsx file and then I couldn't use OLE DB sourcing because I think the .xlsx
file wants you to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and that entails installing the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine and I cannot do that because our network version of Microsoft Office 2010 is 32-bit and in order to install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database
Engine 2010 it's prompting me to uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 and that is not possible.
Ugh!
So I'm hoping that I can promote and deploy this current SSIS Package to Production and create a SQL Server Agent Job that will successfully run this and its dynamic Excel commands.
Do you know of any hurdles with this? Any anomalies...struggles...
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
Here's the C# Script...which works perfectly client side...
string StrFileName = (Dts.Variables["User::FileName"].Value.ToString());
StrFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(StrFileName);
string StringSourceFile = (Dts.Variables["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString()) + StrFileName + ".xlsx";
string StringDestinationFile = (Dts.Variables["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString()) + StrFileName + ".xls";
// This initiates the Excel Application
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excelApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
// This Opens the Source .xlsx File from Emdeon ePaySmart
Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(StringSourceFile, XlUpdateLinks.xlUpdateLinksNever, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Save the Source .xlsx Emdeon ePaySmart File as a .xls File...note xlFileFormat.xlExcel5
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Close the Source
workbook.Close(false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This shuts down the Excel Application
excelApplication.Quit();

This should work if you use a proxy to run this package in the Agent; see:

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.
Then I have automated the execution of the package through SQL Server Agent Job. But when I executed the package through SQL Agent job, it runs successfully for all the tasks except script task. When it comes to execute the Script Task, it is getting failed
with the below error message.
"Error: 2012-08-29 12:45:14.67

End Error

I have installed the SSIS on the 64-bit environment and SSIS service is running. Also I tried to run the job through 32 bit [job option] but I am getting the above error in all cases.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated !
Thanks,
Navin

Hi Arthur,
My script task access the excel files in a network share, refresh them all and save them. When I execute the ETL manually or thru DTEXEC, it is executing successfully. I am facing the issue when I am executing thru SQL Agent Job only. Logging also showing
the same error.

Error while executing SSIS package which contains Script component through SQL Server Agent Job

Hello All,
I have written one SSIS 2012 package which is fetching records from CSV and put it into staging DB and from staging DB , using SSIS script component task, I am inserting data into Dynamics CRM. So far it is working fine when
I manually execute SSIS package.
but when I run the SSIS package using SQL server agent job, I encounter below error. After seeing below error at step "Insert TLM Headers Script Component " I understand that it is failing at script component which I have used in SSIS package,
but I am not sure what is the cause behind that? please advise.

domain\user account has not proper rights
That being said, often SSIS jobs require a proxy to be runnable and this is how you make one up

SQL Server Agent and SSIS

I created a SSIS package that litterally just export a view onto a server. The database, ssis and location are all on the same server. When I run the SSIS package in SSIS works perfectly. When I run it in SQL it doesnt work. I have read way to many articles
trying to figure out how to fix this. The best was something about a proxy. I really just want to run the package through as a JOb through SQL Server Agent. Any directions would be great.

No I am still a bit confused.
1.) I created both Jobs as the admin.
2.) The NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT is by default for whatever reason is running the job when I scheduled
it.
3.) Just so that I could try and run the job I tried to follow the article that was given in the first post. I got to the second script and I get the below error.
Msg 14529, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_proxy, Line 45
Proxy "ARSHADALI-LAP\SSISProxyDemoUser" is not a valid Windows user.
Msg 14262, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_verify_proxy_identifiers, Line 51
The specified @proxy_name ('SSISProxyDemo') does not exist.
Is there a more simpler way this seems almost like over kill.

Is that domain machine or is it in work group?

Excel Import Fails in SQL Server Agent Job but not when executed in BIDS

We have a SQL Server agent job that has ran successfully for the past 6 months. It started failing about a week ago. I don't believe anyone installed anything on the server. The proxy account used to run the job is an admin on the server.
I've tried everything I can think of or that I found on searches. I even changed the connection manager from an Excel source to using an Microsoft office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLEDB connection and it still runs in BIDs and not as an agent job.
I also setup my LANID as a proxy account to see if the job would run (checking security) -- and it fails with the same error.   I also made sure the path is
\\server\share rather than a drive letter. Any ideas?
The package is executed in 32 bit mode. The package still runs fine in BIDS (where BIDs is opened on the server) but fails in the SQL Agent job with:

I logged on to the server with the account that the SQL Agent runs under and ran the following from a command
line to execute the package:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.exe" /FILE
"\"K:\SSIS\xxxxxx\xxxxx.dtsx\"" /CHECKPOINTING OFF
/REPORTING EWCDI /X86
I wanted to see if it was a security issue with the agent account account - but
this ran fine.
I then updated the SQL Agent job to use an operating system command instead
of a SSIS package on the job step. This fails...
The issue is definately with the SQL Server Agent
