SQL Server Agent - Operators

Hi,
When I tried to configure an operator in SQL server job agent then i can't add more than 100 characters in "email name" field.
Any thoughts??

No. I want to add multiple email addresses. but issue is when total length of characters of all email addresses reaches to 100, it cut down additional characters.
Example: [email protected];[email protected];........; [email protected]
now assume we have total 102 characters, SQL will cut down down the last two characters and will make my last email address as "[email protected]"
Hi Muhammad,
SQL Server operator email addresses are limited to 100 characters. The behavior is by design.
To work around this issue, you can create a group email in Exchange server, add all the emails you want into the group, then use the group email address when configuring the operator.
For more information, please review the following link:

Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine.
Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent. When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc.
I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem. Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
Kind Regards

The problems solved
steps:
1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
I hope not to forget something
Thank You all for the help

Sql server agent permission

Hello Experts
Very Urgent here
what kind of permission do we need to grant for night operators that execute/kick off a sql server agent job ? because I saw some of them have a sysadmin access? Always Thankfull!

Hi,
The SQL Agent has 3 roles that can be assigned from msdb database, the first two roles have the authority to execute the jobs they own only and the third role can execute any jobs, please check the security matrix for these three roles in the below link
for more details.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188283.aspx
The three roles are the following:
SQLAgentUserRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentOperatorRole

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.

Reporting Services 2012 for SharePoint and SQL Server Agent "Subscriptions and Alerts"

After installing Reporting Services for SharePoint (Denali) in my test farm, I'm trying to configure the "SQL Server Agent" access for Reporting Services. From Central Admin I'm going to the Reporting Service applicaiton configuration screen and selecting
"Provision Subscriptions and Alerts". I've tried both options on this screen. I've manually executed the "download sql script" in SQL Server, as well as entering a user with SQL sys admin rights on the SQL server into the login fields on the screen.
The role and permissions have been created for the application pool service account, but Reporting Services is still trying to connect with the annonymous login because I'm getting the following alert each time I open the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts"
screen:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
The "status" on the screen still shows "SQL Server Agent State cannot be determined". Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!!

Thanks for your reply!
1) Looks like the new Reporting Services does not run as a Windows Service so it's not listed in the "Configure Service Accounts" pulldown. As a result, I don't see how to set the service account. It's only assigned to an application pool.
I installed it into an existing application pool and that application pool "is" in the list and has a domain service account already assigned.
2) Which users need to be in here in order to configure the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts" screen? I already have the farm admin account which is the account I use when running Central Admin.
3) As mentioned in #1, I've installed Reporting Services into an existing application pool with other service apps.
4) This link is for Reporting Services 2008 R2 which is very different install process. But I did follow the SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 RC0 installation instructions and the Reporting Services is functioning correctly with no errors.
I'm just not able to configure the sceduling the alerting with interfaces with the SQL Server Agent.
Thanks!

Unable to start SQL server agent service

hi,
We have 2 Node SQL Cluster that was working fine. Then We migrated the Linux DNS to Windows DNS successfully.Now restarted the SQL Server after it when we try to start the SQL Server Agent service its says the below msg while machine name and cluster
entries are in windows dns and resolving the IP to name and name to IP
Error msg: The MSSQLSERVER service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service." error message.
But whenever we set the Linux DNS Server ip in SQL Servers then it successfully starts the service. Now i want to know why its happening and what are the requirements or DNS entries/SPN which we missing when we migrated the linux DNS to windows
dns
Sagar

I was experiencing this issue or one just like it on one of our SQL clusters (SQL Server 2008 R2, two node).
The fix for us was the database Security Login for: NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$<instancename> was missing. The actual service account assigned to the SQL Agent service was a valid domain account and we had the credentials correct in the service
configuration, so no changes were needed there.
Using SQL Server Management Studio we manually added this BUILT IN account ( NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$<instancename> ) to the instance, and then assigned it user role = sysadmin (to go along with the default role = public).
Once this was done, we tried to restart the clustered SQL Agent service and it started and remained started.
Hope this helps someone, we spent over a day pouring over the installation trying to find the cause.
This worked for me, thanks:-)

Unable to view SQL Server Agent while logged in as user

Hello Everyone,
I have granted SQLAgentUserRole permission to one of the user and using enterprise edition of SSMS. still user is not able to view SQL Server Agent. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

There is no Enterprise Edition of SSMS. There is SSMS Basic and SSMS Complete. Prior to 2012 sp1, only SSMS Basic were available with Express Edition - but as of 2012 sp1 Expredd also offers SSMS Complete. SSMS Complete is selected bu default when you install
SSMS (unless you are prior to 2012 sp1 and are using Express, of course).
However, even SSMS Basic *should* show Agent assuming you have permissions for that. This is hearsay, but from trusted sources. Here is what to do:
Check what is installed for the machine from where you are running SSMS. You can do that using SQL Server Installation Center - see this blog post: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/tibor_karaszi/archive/2011/02/10/what-does-this-express-edition-look-like-anyhow.aspx
(towards the end).
On that machine try both this problematic account as well as an account which is sysadmin. Does the sysadmin account see Agent? If so, you know permissions aren't granted properly. If not, then you know the tool is the problme.
Also try the problematic account from a machine where you know you see Agent normally. Again, this will help you assess whether the problem is the tool (SSMS) or permissions for the account.

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

How do I find out if Sql server Agent's login has rights to a DB?

How do I find out if the SQL server Agent's login has rights to the target DB, that is the DB on which I will be executing a query ? Is there a query for this ?
Thanks.

The job will run with the permissions of owner of the job and only be modified by the owner
or sysadmin role members.
you need get the owner of the job and for example 'ABC' is the owner of the job then pass value in the below query
DECLARE @DBuser_sql VARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE @DBuser_table TABLE (DBName VARCHAR(200), UserName VARCHAR(250), LoginType VARCHAR(500), AssociatedRole VARCHAR(200))
SET @DBuser_sql='
SELECT ''?'' AS DBName,a.name AS Name,
a.type_desc AS LoginType,
USER_NAME(b.role_principal_id) AS AssociatedRole
FROM ?.sys.database_principals a
LEFT OUTER JOIN ?.sys.database_role_members b ON a.principal_id=b.member_principal_id
WHERE a.sid NOT IN (0x01,0x00) AND a.sid IS NOT NULL AND a.type NOT IN (''C'')
AND a.is_fixed_role <> 1 AND a.name NOT LIKE ''##%'' AND
''?'' NOT IN (''master'',''msdb'',''model'',''tempdb'')
ORDER BY Name'
INSERT @DBuser_table
EXEC sp_MSforeachdb @command1=@dbuser_sql

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 when execute a package from SQL Server Agent

We have the next problem:
When we execute a package from a Job of SQL Server agent, it shows the success messege, but reviewing the results, the package didnt do all the tasks.
When we run it mannually by MSIS the package, it shows the success message and it works fine.
The workflow of the package is :
1) Shrink the databases (executing a sql file)
2) Backup the databases (Back up Database task of MSIS)
3) Rename the files to .BAK extension (by the Foreach loop container and fyle system task)
4) Execute command to compress the it (by a .bat)
5) Move the compress file to another location (by another Foreach loop)
Manually run correct, but when is a a SQL AGent Job that execute the package it does only the first 2 steps.
we are ussing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (coffee) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
We are using a user with administrator privilegies
Cheers

Can you check if account running package has proper access. You may need to define a proxy account for that.

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

SSIS fails to load files from network when executed via SQL server Agent (SQL server 2008 R2 SP 2)

Hi All,
I have a simple SSIS package that reads a flat file and copies it into a SQL Server table.
When the flat fiel is on the C drive I have no problem runnign this package from SQL Server Agent, but as soon as I update the path to a network location the package only works when I run it manually, but fails when is executed via the SQL Server agent job.
The error says "cannot open the datafile", while the datafile location is valid.
Is this a kind of limitation of a SQL Server Agent that only local files are allowed to be processed?
Thanks,
Andrei

Hi selfdestruct80,
According to your description, you created SSIS package and it works fine. But you got the error message when the SSIS package was called from a SQL Server Agent job.
According to my knowledge, the package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package.
A SQL Server connection that uses integrated security fails because the current user does not have the required permissions.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses.
A registry-based SSIS package configuration uses the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys are user-specific.
A task or a connection manager requires that the current user account has correct permissions.
According to the error message, the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword as ArthurZ mentioned. To solve the problem, you need to go to Command Line tab, manually specify the paassword in SQL Agent Job with the command like below:
/FILE "\"C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\SSIS\Package.dtsx\"" /DECRYPT somepassword /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Problem Running SSIS Package with a SQL Server Agent

SQL Server: SQL Server 2012
VS: Visual Studio 2012
Hello,
      I have been having a problem running SSIS packages by using a SQL Server Agent job. I first created these SSIS packages in a separate IS project in Visual Studio. I imported the packages to the Integration Services (Package
Store) instance on my SQL Server and tried to create a job that would run them from there.
      At first I read around about needing a proxy account to allow the agent/packages to access the file system since these packages are importing data from a flat file in the SQL database. So I created a temporary admin user to
use as the user for the agent. I did this by going to Services.msc on the server and linked the account the agent's "logon as". Then arose another issue where I am getting an error about using the incorrect type for my connection managers.
The connection manager "TestFile" is an incorrect type. The type required is "OLEDB". The type available to the component is "FLATFILE". Source: Data Flow Task Flat File Destination [2]     Description:
Cannot open the datafile "O:\*****\Success.txt"
I am not sure what this even means as I am getting this error even with a test package that doesn't do anything with the database. I have just two flat file connection managers in this test project one for grabbing the source file and one for
creating the new test file.
I am not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
