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.

Sql Server Agent: job hasn't run once today. Scheduling problem?

I created this job yesterday at about 4PM; the view history shows that it last ran successfully at 11:53PM. These are the settings I put:
Schedule Type: Recurring
Occurs: Daily
Recurs every: 1 days(s)
Occurs every: 5 minute(s)
Starting at: 05:00:00 PM
Ending at: 11:59:59 PM
Start Date: 10/30/2014
No End Day (selected)
The job is enabled, but it hasn't run once yet today. I don't want to start it manually because it should've started already. It is currently not running.
What can the problem be?
Thanks.
VM

The output is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) - 10.50.1617.0 (X64)
The length varies, but it's usually a bit over an hour to finish. It's set at 5 minutes so that, as soon as it completes, it runs the job again. The job history yesterday was: 5:48P, 7:03P, 7:43P, 8:58P, 9:53P, 10:58P, 11:53P. The job downloads some files,
and that's why the job varies in length.

I would say there is no point in scheduling a job which runs for 1 hr to run at every 5 mins although as per SQL Server agent logic if job is currently running and it misses schedule it will only start when job is finished. I would say to change logic to
run every 1 hr.
Plus I cannot find the support article but I know there was bug where Agent job could miss schedule can you please apply
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. There are 2 reason
1. it might fix your schedule skipping issue
2 You would come under purview of extended support. Which I guess is very important.
You can easily open job activity monitor and look for column Next run date

SQL Server Agent Job is not running as per schedule

I have a job that is supposed to run every 6 AM. It was running last week but not this morning.
The big problem is that there are no error messages what so ever. I checked Agent History, SQL server logs and Windows system logs.
I checked the schedule and it is set to run everyday and there are no limits on how long it is supposed to run and it is enabled.
Did anyone get this problem before?

Hi,
Sometimes there are valid reasons a job will NOT kick-in on the scheduled time. Sometime ago, our database full backup job didn't start on time and in fact just
got skipped over. Upon further investigation, a idiot started doing defragging on the target (destination) server without informing anybody in the enterprise and the previous days backup was running over 24+ hours instead of 2 hours. Sometime people cheat
and try to enable/disable jobs and in those cases you may want to add notification if something like this happens. http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1803/auto-alert-for-sql-agent-jobs-when-they-are-enabled-or-disabled/

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:

Elapsed: 2.761 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.

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

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:

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.

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.

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!

How to run a SQL Server Agent job step on certain days/frequency

I've a SQL Server Agent job. One of the requirement is that a particular step should only run on certain frequency i.e. Certain Date and time. Any suggestions how can that be done?
GBM

yes
1. Make first step as a Transact SQL step. Keep command as below
IF DAY(GETDATE()) = <Your date value>
AND DATEPART(hh,GETDATE()) = <your time hour)
AND DATEPART(minute,GETDATE()) = <your time minute)
SELECT 1
ELSE
RAISERROR 'Job cant be run at this time'
Then for job step properties set the following properties in advanced tab
This would make sure it will quit the job without executing other core steps untill it reaches the required day and time
You can add more conditions in IF based on requirement like if you want time to be on certain second or month to be particular value etc

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.

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.

How to stop SQL Server Agent Job if Stored Procedure returns value 0

I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS.
I have 2 SSIS packages.
I have created SQL Server Agent Job for running packages.
I have created steps. If first step have run succesfully next step is run.
I have need to add new logic.
I have validation stored procedure, which validate DB table values and returns 1 or 0.
I would like to create logic where first of all this SP is runned. Return value of SP determines if steps are run or not.
I was thinking to use Execute SQL Task for running SP.
If value 1 is returned, then run rest of Tasks is run.
If value 0 is returned, what should I do so that Job is stopped? I need assistance!
I want current step to stop never moved to next step.
Is there any SSIS tasks, which can stop the Job?
Or should I make Step for running validation SP?
How to do so that if value 0 is returned stop Job.
Kenny_I

Please refer the below link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa260308(v=sql.80).aspx
Please read Remarks carefully!!!
Remarks
If a job is currently executing a step of type CmdExec, the process being run (for example, MyProgram.exe) is forced to end prematurely. Premature ending can result in unpredictable behavior such as files in use by the process being held open. Consequently,
sp_stop_job should be used only in extreme circumstances if the job contains steps of type CmdExec.
Permissions
Execute permissions default to the public role in the
msdb database. A user who can execute this procedure and is a member of the
sysadmin fixed role can stop any job. A user who is not a member of the
sysadmin role can use sp_stop_job to stop only the jobs he/she owns.
When sp_stop_job is invoked by a user who is a member of the
sysadmin fixed server role, sp_stop_job will be executed under the security context in which the SQL Server service is running. When the user is not a member of the
sysadmin group, sp_stop_job will impersonate the SQL Server Agent proxy account, which is specified using
xp_sqlagent_proxy_account. If the proxy account is not available,
sp_stop_job will fail. This is only true for Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. On Windows 9.x, there is no impersonation and
sp_stop_job is always executed under the security context of the Windows 9.x user who started SQL Server.

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

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
Bikram

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:
How do I troubleshoot SSIS packages failed execution in a SQL Agent job:

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.
