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

  • 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:.
    Try with c:, as c: require special permisssions

  • 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:
    Message
    Message Source Name
    Subcomponent Name
    Process Provider:Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description:

    Slowly Changing Dimension [212]
    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.
    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

  • 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 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.

  • SSIS package fails under SQL Server Agent job

    Hi All
    I have designed a SSIS package to encrypt a file using Cipher (EFS) it works fine from BIDS & Package Execution Utility.
    But SQL Server Agent job is failing to do this. I am getting the error as
    " In executing C:\Windows\System32\Cipher.exe /e /a C:\Test.txt at "",The Process Exit code was 1 while the expected was 0." 
    Please help me.
    Thanks

    Two things that usually come to mind when this happens from BIDS locally to the SQL Agent are
    1. Security is not
    adequate under the SQL Agent Service Account
    Rule the security problem out by setting up a proxy account that you know ahs security to run the needed tasks in the package.  Either that or give the service account the permissions needed.
    2. 32bit BIDS development and running under a 64bit Platform in your SSIS installation
    This can be fixed by selecting run in 32bit more or running the package with the 32bit installed version of DTEXEC found in the Program Files (x86) folder where you installed tools.
    Next, setup logging in the package so you get a more detailed error message.  Event handlers on the tasks will be much more detailed using the OnError event.  you can write that to either a flat file with a data flow in the event handler or simply
    insert the event into a table using the ? as the parms.  If you need assistance setting that up, here are basic steps for a SQL Server table
    1) Select the task and click the event handler tab in BIDS
    2) Select OnError event handler in the list
    3) Click the enable link and drag a Execute TSQL Task over to the window
    4) Create a table in your SQL Server database (create one so you don't litter your user DBs if needed)
    5) Open the task and add the connection as needed.  Then add this statement
    INSERT INTO dbo.TableYouCreated
    (PackageName, SourceName, EventInfo)
    VALUES (?,?,?)
     6) Go to parameter mappings and add 4 new mappings as following
    System::PackageName
    Input
    nvarchar
    0
    System::SourceName
    Input
    nvarchar
    1
    System::ErrorDescription
    Input
    nvarchar
    2
    Save and reimport the package and then the event of the errors should insert into the table in detail

  • VBScript Runs Correctly From Command Prompt, But Not From SQL Server Agent Job

    I'm trying to run this script on my local machine to do some post-batch cleanup and it doesn't run correctly from the scheduled job (or when I invoke the job).
    Here's the script in question:
    Option Explicit
    Const filePath = "C:\Documents and Settings\jmunn\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Logs\"
    Const holdDays = 6
    main
    Sub Main()
    ClearArchive
    End Sub
    Sub ClearArchive()
    Dim fso 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject
    Dim fld 'As Scripting.Folder
    Dim f 'As Scripting.File
    Dim delLogName, delLogOut, delCtr
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set fld = fso.GetFolder(filePath)
    delLogName = filePath & "Nightly Backup - Backup Logs Deleted" & ".txt"
    Set delLogOut = fso.CreateTextFile(delLogName, True)
    delLogOut.WriteLine(delLogName)
    delLogOut.WriteLine("")
    delLogOut.WriteLine("-- The following log files were deleted on " & DateValue(Now()) & " at " & TimeValue(Now()))
    delLogOut.WriteLine("")
    delCtr = 0
    For Each f In fld.Files
    If Left(f.Name, 48) = "Nightly Backup - SQL Server Databases_Subplan_1_" And Right(LCase(f.Name), 4) = ".txt" Then
    If DateDiff("d", f.DateCreated, Date()) > holdDays Then
    delLogOut.WriteLine(f.Name)
    fso.DeleteFile f, True
    delCtr = delCtr + 1
    End If
    End If
    Next
    If delCtr = 0 Then
    delLogOut.WriteLine("No log files were deleted this run...")
    End If
    Set fld = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
    delLogOut.Close
    End Sub
    If I put the script in its own file and run it from the command prompt, it runs just fine. If the script runs from the SQL Server Agent job, the for-loop will delete the files correctly, but the filenames
    do not get written to the deletion log file and the counter does not get incremented, so according to the job log, nothing was deleted. Why does the script run differently from each invocation? It can't be a permission thing, the service that logs in has full
    access to the directory and the files do get deleted. Any ideas out there?
    Between this and other outstanding issues, I'm quickly losing faith in SQL Server.  >=o(
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

  • Management Studio Fails when added Integration Services step to SQL Server Agent Job

    Hi,
    I have two new servers I've setup with Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, Visual Studio 2012 SP4. I've previously been on SQL 2008 and VS 2008 so this is new to me.
    I am finding SSMS is throwing an exception on both machines when i do the following:
    1. Go to SQL Server Agent | Jobs
    2. Create a new Job.
    3. Select Steps and click New Step
    4. Change the job type to SQL Server Integration Services Package.
    Following error occurs:
    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception. (SqlManagerUI)
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The C++ module failed to load.
     (DTEParseMgd)
    Index was outside the bounds of the array. (DTEParseMgd)
    I also find if I take an existing job with SSIS package steps and attempt to edit those steps the same message appears. This issue happens on both my servers as they have been configured almost identically. This doesn't occur when selecting any other job
    type.
    I've also tried installing cumulative update 8 in a hope that this may fix it but with no success.
    As my entire environment is based around SQL Agents running SSIS i'm a little bit concerned, especially since I have some tight deadlines getting these servers running.
    I have found nothing relating to this issue. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I hadn't installed CU3 however as a test i tried installing CU4 and this didn't help. Since my first emails i have more issues that have brought a complete hault to the upgrade project.
    If i double click on a package to run it manually I basically get the same issue. This means i have no way of running any packages except throught VS.
    I've also found that regardless of the order of the software installs it still fails. It's related to SP1 of SQL and SP4 of VS.
    I'm on Server 2012. When install in the following order SQL 2012, SQL SP1, VS2012, BIDS, VS SP4 i have no problem until VS SP4 is installed. If i install VS SP4 then BIDS it also fails at the last step. If i install all the VS and BIDS software first, then
    SQL then SQL SP1 it fails at the SQL SP1 step.
    This means i could actually install everything and either ignore the SQL SP1 or the VS SP4 and i'd be fine however this is not really a solution as i will never be able to patch the software and once live this is very dangerous.
    I am still surprised there is no obvious solution to this. I'm only installing MS software on a fresh box and only installing 5 pieces of software (including the SPs). I would have though if this was an issue others would have come across it too.
    Has anyone else installed all these components and got them working on the same OS. I believe early on in my testing i installed these in Windows Server 2008 and didn't have the issue.
    Regards.
    Simon.

  • Manage SQL Server Agent Jobs

    What is the best way to manage SQL Server Agent Jobs?
    Requirement: If any job fails I need an entry(log) to be done in a table.
    Please use Mark as Answer; if my reply solved your problem. Use Vote As Helpful if a post was useful. |WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/SONNIE.HIM | |+91-9742-354-384 |

    Thanks all,
    I went through all the links except provided by
    Tom Phillips, couldn't open it. The thing is that I know results of a Agent job are stored in a table and I can create a SSRS report too and subscribe it to myself or I can use these system tables as a source for my destination table (as asked in the question)
    and create a job to run that code every (so) minutes. But what if the subscription to that report got failed due to network error and what if the job which is managing other jobs, itself fails.
    Is there any full proof idea which I can implement. My client has 2008 R2 installed.
    I have created an object termed as Alerts_FollowUp which I use for sending SMS to respective owner including me. The idea is to make an entry into a table with job name and status. If it status is failed then via Job name I can pick the owner name and number
    stored in my master table and have an entry done in the Alerts_FollowUp. After this using FIORANO I am sending these records to a telecom lease line network which are sending my texts to the respective mobile numbers.
    I believe the provided explanation was necessary and sufficient.

  • SQL Server Agent Job

    I want to learn how to create a SQL Server Agent Job. After I googled it, I see that it can be found under Databases under Object Explorer, But I don't see that option. Can someone tell me where is it or how can i create one? I also need to
    understand the steps to create one. (I just have basic knowledge of SQL Server of using small queries like Update, Delete, Select statements, etc). A plain english explanation would be very helpful.

    NO answer can be provided unless you show us the error message. There can be numerous reasons for backup job to fail. See job history for details please post complete information present in job history.
    Check errorlog and note what error message is there at time when the backup job failed. You could find something useful. Please learn how to post question in forum just saying I have a problem will not help both of us.

  • SQL Server Agent Job steps

    I've searched and can't find the answer to this, would like to post it in the appropriate forum. (Using SQL Server 2008R2) I'm having trouble with a long string of email addresses in one of my SQL Server Agent Jobs. I'd like to edit it for readability but
    can't find a way to do it. Currently smashing all the addresses together works,  The job executes and returns the correct data and sends the desired emails, but if I try a continuation character it sends emails to the first person on the list, then no
    others.
    It works fine when all the email addresses have to be in one long string with no spaces. (Example below) Hard to read/edit.
    ,@recipients ='[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]'

    Prashanth, This runs every two hours five days a week for the last two years. The only problem I have with it is that the line of email addresses is difficult to read and edit when employees leave and are replaced. 
    Thanks for looking at this for me - We like it because it's easy for smart phone users to read when they're out and about. EDITED TO ADD: Although this interface wraps the address line, in Microsoft's SQ: Server Agent, the line just stretches off to the
    right apparently infinitely.  DietSquirt

  • 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.

  • Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?

    Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?
    This has been a very common question I have seen relatedt to Database mail and I thought will post here so if you run into this issue, it could be due to one of the following and also have mentioned below how to get around them. Bottom line is datbase mail works fine with SQL Agent jobs and maintenace plans in SP1 on all platforms.
    1. If you see this on 64 bit platform and on RTM build, this is a bug that is addressed in SP1.
    2. If you see the below error message, it is known issue and this is because of design that requires SQL Agent to restart, if SQL Agent was started before enabling databasemail and setting a new profile. We are evaluating to change this design of not requiring to restart agent for our future release.
    Re: 264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
    This problem will go away after restarting SQL Server Agent in this case. Thanks,
    Gops Dwarak, MSFT

    This may be related to the fact that DBMail, by default, shuts itself down after 10 minutes of inactivty.  If the mail service isn't running, you won't be able to queue up any mail messages.
    There may be a built-in mechanism for addressing this problem, but I found that I can detect this situation and start the mail listener before sending db mail.  I use the following in stored procs that need to send email.
    You could increase the inactivity period for db mail shutdown from 600 seconds to some larger value.  It might not make sense to do so, since shutting it down releases its resources back to teh system; if your SQL server only sneds mail infrequently, it might be better to start the mail listener on demand.  Someone with more experience than I might want to add their two cents' worth.  :-)
    /* Check the mail engine. Start the service if is is stopped         */
    /* -- the DB Mail engine shuts down after 10 minutes (of inactivity) */
    /* -- this setting can be changed, but we probably don't need to.    */
    DECLARE @rc INT
    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.service_queues
                   WHERE name = N'ExternalMailQueue' AND is_receive_enabled = 1)
        EXEC @rc = msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp
        -- TODO: add handling and logging for any engine start issues

  • 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
       Code: 0x00000001

       Description: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
    End Error

    Finished: 12:45:14 PM

    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,

    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.
