SQL Server Agent Job Duration monitor alerts incorrectly

As per SQL Server MP guide, changes in Dec 2007 update : Fixed a script that was resulting in invalid alerts being generated from the agent job's Job Duration monitor.
In my SCOM 2012 environment on few SQL servers I'm getting an alert from Job Duration monitor for SQL jobs that have completed well within the defined thresholds. Interestingly this monitor then resets on its own(The monitor has been initialized for
the first time or it has exited maintenance mode) and immediately turns critical again. I do not see any pattern around these state changes. These are weekly jobs, however the Job Duration monitor continues to alert for these specific jobs 10-15 times a day.
This is creating unnecessary noise in the environment.
Is anyone else facing this issue? I know I can disable this default monitor and create my own monitor. However I want to check if this is a known bug in this SQL MP(version 6.4.1.0).
Note : I'm aware about an updated MP version 6.5.1.0, however the release note doesn't specify if it fixes this issue.
Thanks,
Harry
Thanks, Harry :-)

Resolution: The issue was that the SCOM Agent was getting restarted repeatedly. Post restart health calculation was done again and the SQL Job duration monitors would reset and generate new alerts.
There is a recovery configured in an aggregate monitor to restart the SCOM Agent if Handle Count/Private Bytes of Health Service/Monitoring Host breach a set threshold. I had to create an override to change the thresholds for all Health Service/Monitoring
Host and exclude the recovery on Physical servers.
If there are large number of workflow on an SCOM Agent due to multiple MP(SQL, HP, etc.), the increase in Handle Count/Private Bytes is usual.
Thanks, Harry :-)

  • SSIS Package Fails when Scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job

    I have an SSIS package that runs without any problems when executed through BIDS.
    However, when I schedule the SSIS as an Agent job, it fails completely or part way through. When it partially runs, the part that it is failing on is a Script Task that moves the source data file to an archive folder (on the same server).
    I have tried using my domain account as the owner of the job, then the job fails straight off and I get an error:
    Unable to determine if the owner (Domain\MyID) of job JobName has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'Domain\MyID'
    If I change the owner to the 'sa' account , then the job partially runs, but then fails because 'sa' is a SQL account and does not have access to the filesystem.
    I have managed to get it to work by using the SQL2008_Local account and granting modify permissions to the affected folders.
    My question is - what is the advised way of doing this?
    Thanks
    Gary

    Hi Garyv.King,
    When you see a SSIS package fails running in a SQL Agent job, you need to first consider the following conditions:
    1. The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent differs from the original package author.
    2. The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
    For more detailed information about the issue, please following this KB article:
    An SSIS package does not run when you call the SSIS package from a SQL Server Agent job step
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760 
    You can check SQL Server Agent’s activity logs, Windows Event logs and SSIS logs to get more clues. Also the tool Process Monitor is helpful to track the cause of registry or file access related issues.
    The following 4 issues are common encountered in the SSIS forum.
    1. The package's Protection Level is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey but your SQL Server Agent service account is different from the SSIS package creator.
    2. Data source connection issue.
    3. File or registry access permission issue.
    4. No 64-bit driver issue.
    For more information about it, please see:

  • SQL Server Agent Job Failing on Job Step

    Hi,
    Firstly, apologies if this post has been made in the wrong group.  Running SQL Server 2012.  I'm attempting to add a SQL Server Agent Job which calls a stored procedure that sends a Database Mail message.  The SQL Server and SQL Server Agent
    both run under the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account.  The Database Mail service has been enabled, and a public profile created.  When running the stored procedure manually, I receive no errors - everything runs as expected and I do receive an
    email containing the expected information.
    I've created the job, job step, job schedule, attached the schedule to the job, and assigned the job to server, all using T-SQL without error.  I've also enabled the mail profile on the SQL Server Agent, and I know that part is working because when
    the job fails, I get an email notification of the failure.
    I've checked the command text in the job step and parsed it within the SQL Job Step Edit window to confirm, it shows as parsing correctly.  However, when I manually run the job itself, I get the following:
    Execution of job failed.  See the history log for details.
    I check the history log and it shows:
    [474] Unable to refresh Database Mail profile Database Mail Profile. (reason: ) (Not a typo, the history log shows no reason)
    [260] Unable to start mail session.
    [396] An idle CPU condition has not been defined - OnIdle job schedules will have no effect
    The command text on the failing job step is as follows:
    DECLARE @date [varchar](10)
    SET @date = CAST(GETDATE() AS [varchar](10))
    EXEC [dbo].[GetExceptions]
    @company = 'MyCompany',
    @checkDate = @date
    With regard to the date value being passed as varchar: This stored procedure is used to check for exceptions against multiple databases on this server (hence the company parameter) via dynamic SQL.  I'd much prefer to use proper data typing but this
    is the only way I could get it to work.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on anything else I could check, or insights into why this is failing?  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Best Regards
    Brad

    I am not sure if this really helps but I would do follow the below steps:
    1. make sure sql server agent has database mail enabled(rigt click on server agent--properties--alert system--enable database mail and choose right profile.) and RESTART THE SQL SERVER AGENT.(i know you said it i working, but sometimes,  restart the
    sql server agent might fix)
    2. check agent error log and check if any error messages.
    3. run the command text you mentioned in sql server and see if it is working.(i know you said it is working but just to make sure).
    4. make sure sql server agent service user has permissions to run database mail in msdb. check this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186358.aspx
    5. Check the output from select * from msdb.dbo.sysmail_log and if it says anything
    6.it does not look like the job log is getting truncated but to make sure, get the job step output to a text file.to do this, edit the job step and on the job step properties click on advanced,  enter path to the output file. this will give the complete
    output for the step.
    Hope it Helps!!

  • 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.

  • One sql server agent job suspend

    One sql server agent job--run full backup of one database is suspended from activity monitor.
    How to find why it is suspended and troubleshoot?

    "Suspended" is a common status for a thread.  It indicates the thread is waiting on an external resource, which backups often are
    Check few things:
    1. Database size, how much backup is completed from below command and location where backup files are being placed
    select session_id,command, percent_complete
    from sys.dm_exec_requests
    If that on network than might be due to slow netword backup take some time.
    2. Check job history, expected
    completion time of backup job and also if any change in the I/O and CPU time for the SPID
    3.Check wait type of suspended spid, SQL server and event viewer logs. If any I/O issue on the server. Like disk responding slowly that might be a cause of delay.

    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

  • Error: Failed to acquire connection while exporting a file using SSIS package through SQl Server Agent job.

    Hi Team,
    I am running a sql server job which is loading data to a sharepoint document library.File is an excel format and is getting loaded
    when executed through SSDT solution .But when i am using an SQL Agent job to pick up the file it doesnt get the path and agent job fails with the error "Failed to acquire connection".I have deployed the SSIS Package through SQL Server 2012 deployment
    methodologies.
    I am not able to trace the error of loading data from a sharepoint library.library. Sql agent jobs works fine when i give local path.The
    account which is running the sql agent job is the same who has access to document library.I also tried to run the job through proxy account. I am using a xml configuraion to store my credentials.I am able to palce the same file to a network drive in the same
    server through sql server agent job. The only problem is when I am trying to load the file to a sharepoint folder.
    Thanks,
    Arsa..

    Is that the WebDAV method that you are suggesting here to map the n/w drive?
    Its kind of webdav but you will be using windows nw drive to store data
    yes, I am able to create the file to D: , but didn't check with the C:.

  • SQL Server Agent Jobs error for Slowly changing dimension

    Hi,
    I have implemented Slowly changing dimension in 5 of my packages for lookup insert/update.
    All the packages are running good in SSDT. And when i deployed the project to SSISDB and run the packages all are running successfully. But when i created a job out of that and run the packages, then 3 packages ran successfully and 2 packages failed. 
    When i opened All Execution Report. I found the following error:

    And in the 2nd experiment, I removed slowly changing dimension task and implemented normal lookup for insert/update, and set the source reading limit again to 4,00,000 and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded.
    Now i am not able to figure out, what exactly is the problem with Slowly changing dimension task for more than 15,00 records in SQL Server  Agent Job run?
    Can anybody pls help me out.
    Thanks
    Bikram

    Hi Vikash,
    As i have mentioned in the above post, below 2 scenarios: 
    "Then i opened Provider package in SSDT and changed the source reading record limit from 4,00,000 to 15,000 in source
    query and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded. more than 15,000 failed.
    And in the 2nd experiment, I removed slowly changing dimension task and implemented normal lookup for insert/update, and set the source reading limit again to 4,00,000 and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded."
    That means i am able to connect to sql server.
    But if i change the 1st scenario and read 4,00,000 records, the job fails and shows the above mentioned error.
    Similarly in the 2nd scenario, if i implement SCD look up,  the job fails and shows the above mentioned error.
    And i am consistently reproducing this.
    Thanks

  • SQL SERVER AGENT JOB ERROR - SSIS PACKAGE

    Hi , 
    I have a SQL server agent job which runs SSIS package as the daily job. The SSIS package contains multiple child package. Its a master package which calls other SSIS package. The master package calls 23 SSIS packages, few of the packages runs in parallel.
    I am getting the below 2 different errors more frequently. It fails only in the production server, I scheduled the job in UAT server, it did not fail. Also when we run the master package with out sql agent job, it did not fail. 
    Error 1 :
    R6025  - pure virtual function call.  The return value was unknown.  The process exit code was 255.  The step failed.
    Error 2 : The step did not generate any output.  The return value was unknown.  The process exit code was -1073741819.  The step failed.
    We tried browsing for the answers ,no luck. It failing in live , so we need to run the package manually in live server every time. 
    Please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards, 
    Dhivya Sivakumar

    Hi Vijeth, 
    Thanks for your reply. 
    1) Run the Package manually and check whether it runs successfully.  -
    No Failures. Package completed succesfully
    2) If Step 1 is successful,
    a) Point the same package to the UAT database and run it and check whether it runs successfully or not. -
    We tried to schedule the package almost for 1 month. No failures in UAT. 
    b) In UAT database, point to the Production database and run the package. - I am not sure, if i can do this.I will try and let you know the result.
         These steps will help us identify whether the problems lies within the package or the Environment. 
    3) Run the Package manually in production Environment using dtexec utilily. -
    No Failures. Success.
    4) Check the ID used to run the SQL Agent job and modify to an account with elevated permissions or GRANT more permissions to the existing ID. -
    The account used currently is having all the privileges. Its the most powerful user in live DB.

  • 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:

    "\"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

    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:

  • SQL Server Agent Job intermittently running for packages on SSISDB

    I created an SSIS package to pull data from OLAP Cube and push it into SQL Server using SSIS 2o12. I deployed the same on the SQL Server SSIS DB and created a SQL Server Agent Job to run the package. I have an account configured to run the job (not by
    creating proxy in the job, but SQL Server Agent is running under that account), that has access to the OLAP Cube. The job is running sometimes and failing sometimes. Why the job behaving weirdly. Any help on the issue will help me a lot. I am using SQL Server
    2012 SP1 enterprise edition (11.0.3000.0) (if it helps). The error message which pops up when it fails is :
    OLE DB Source failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202009
    SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E05.
    An OLE DB record is available.  Source: ""Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services.""  Hresult: 0x00000001  Description: ""Error Code = 0x80040E05, External Code = 0x00000000:."".

    Hi,
    You are using Execute SQL Task to run a MDX query, right?  If so, here is an approach/workaround for your reference. If the MDX query doesn’t have parameters, you can create a view in SQL running the MDX query and make the Execute SQL Task to get data
    from that view. If the MDX query has parameters, you can try a Function and create a stored procedure, and then set the Execute SQL Task to execute that stored procedure.
