Hi
I have a full database backup scheduled at 2AM in the morning
everyday and If I see that job status in Sql Server logs
current activity , it shows me that database has been backed
up at 2AM....But the problem is when I go to jobs and try to
do a view job history it doesn't give me the details of the
job and I didn't clear the job history..Can anyone tell me the
reason why it doesn't show me the job history.
Thanks

How can I allow non SA accounts access to view completed Job History of certain jobs.
Development application owners may receive notification of a Production SQL job failing and have no way to see step "details" of the failed job.
I received this error while trying to view a job's history while using SSMS.
syntax error (ll DB Maint'']) (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
anyone see anything like this? I dropped a database yesterday that was included in the maintenance plan, but forgot to take it out of the plan itself.
Hello, I browsed the internet for an answer but all I can
find is the mention of a third party tool called log explorer
that cost a grand for a single license ... no thank you,
but basically what i want to do is be able to open the .ldf file
that is created to log transactions when you first create a database.
Or if there is another method to view transaction logs then please mention it.
I tried DBCC Log('database') which did not provide me with much information
which I can use.
Thanks in advance,

Can any one tell's me about this...
I want to give developers access to view SQL Job history, but not let them inhert permission to create local jobs like they get with the fixed server roles.
how can this be achieved? Or can it only be achieved by giving them access to the tables in msdb and querying them?
Hi. I'm very new to SQL Server and would greatly appreciate any advice with regard to my two questions below.
I've recently been given responsibility for a pair of clustered Windows 2003 servers running SQL Server 2005. Looking through SQL Server Management Studio, I found the following three maintenance plans:
- System Maintenance Plan (all system databases)
- Plan 1 (1 database)
- Plan 2 (4 databases).
All three maintenace plans had the following elements configured, in the following order:
- Check Database Integrity
- Backup Database (Full)
- Shrink Database
- Update statistics
- Clean Up History
with the exception that Plan 1 doesn't have a 'Shrink Database' task (because, I'm told, its data is pretty static), but none had a Maintenance Cleanup Task, so I added one to each plan specifying 14 days of old backups to be kept in all cases except Plan 1, where I limited it to 2 days, the database being over 7 GB in size. All links between tasks in all plans are AND constraints, value 'Completion'. All .BAKs are written to tape by Symantec Backup Exec as part of the daily backup.
Two questions from this:
1. Since .BAKs are written to separate folders for each database, do I need, for example, four Maintenance Cleanup Tasks for the Plans covering four databases - one for each folder/database? I can't see a way of specifying that a Maintenance Cleanup Task should apply to multiple databases or search subfolders based on database name, so I assume I need four consecutive Maintenance Cleanup Tasks within a single plan? Is this the way to do it?
2.The data displayed when I right-click a maintenance plan and choose View History shows:
date and time run
plan name
task name
duration
log type
log source
Since I added a Maintenance Cleanup Task to each plan, the only task shown in the Task Name column is Cleanup History (set to 'Older than 7 days'), and the duration is 00:00:00, where previously all tasks were shown and the overall duration was over a minute.
However, the .BAK files are being created (size looks OK), the application log contains entries suggesting the backups and other tasks completed successfully, and if I expand the SQL Server Logs node and view the current file I can see entries which give the same 'success' messages (presumably this log is the source of the 'success' messages in the application log?).
Why does there appear to be an anomaly between the 'View History' display and the SQL Server Log and application log? Should I be worried, or is what I can see in the SQL Server Logs and application log sufficient grounds for a good night's sleep?
Thanks,
Ed

I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe 'view job history' on Enterprise Manager is showing me only 4 or 5 run histories. I want to see more history on each of the jobs.Even I changed the limit to 10000 lones from 1000 lines on the server properties in the job system option, I am still seeing only the last 4 or 5 histories for each job(there are a total of 70 jobs on the server).Any ideas??Thanks.

Anyone tell me why some of my SQL-agent jobs have no history?
Some jobs are reporting history fine, others say "No history"

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the sql job history. I have a sql 2000 server that was recording all the job history on my sql jobs just fine until the other day. Today I checked the history and the jobs didnt show the past history anymore. Just today's history. So if the job didnt run today there is no history for that particular job. This isn't true, the job was run a few days ago. I know that no one went in and cleard the history on the jobs. What causes this issue, is there a way to not make this happen in the future? Is there a way I can recover the past history for my jobs.
Thanks for your time!! TIA

View 8 Replies View RelatedWrite a CREATE VIEW statement that defines a view named Invoice Basic that returns three columns: VendorName, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceTotal.

Hi guys 'n gals,
I created a query, which makes use of a temp table, and I need the results to be displayed in a View. Unfortunately, Views do not support temp tables, as far as I know, so I put my code in a stored procedure, with the hope I could call it from a View....
I tried:
CREATE VIEW [qryMyView]
AS
EXEC pr_MyProc
and unfortunately, it does not let this run.
Anybody able to help me out please?
Cheers!
hello,
I'm am looking for a smart solution for keeping history of changes in records in my sql database. Not only history of a record but also which user caused the change and when (I have the username in session).
for now I added 4 fields to each table: "created by","created on","cancelled by",cancelled on", when the user create a record the 2 first fields are filled and and a user delete a record the two last fields are filled and the record is not really deleted but it won't be shown again (I'm using "where createdby is null").
this solution is taking the performance down and it does not solve the editing record tracking. creating new records and cancelling old ones for editing/changing solve that but than I m having problems with the primary key and relations to other tables.
I tried also to use a table that holds records that descirbes every change in records in my tables. it's very hard to search old data that way.
I know that oracle databases has a smart solution for history... please someone advise me..

How do I keep th job history of a job, say if I re-create the job?
We recreate the jobs often as part of a code move, but I'd like to retain the history of the previous jobs?
** sp_help_jobhistory -- only shows the jobs that exist, and not old jobs that no longer reside on the server.
Thanks,

Hi
I'm using merge replication between 10 SQL server 7.0 SP2 machines. One central server is the publisher and 9 subscribers. I’ve setup an alert to get a message in case of conflicts. I defined it to trigger everytime the performance counter conflicts/sec rises above 0.
After some experimenting this seems now to work reliable, but there is still one point which bothers me. All conflicts are kept in the conflict history and everytime I get a message through the alert the number of copnflicts stated in the message increases by one.
Also if I open view replication conflicts in EM all conflicts can still be viewed even those I manually resolved. I can't even find a way to seen which conflicts are new ones and which have been resolved already. Does anybody know a way how to reset this numbers without going through all the conflict tables.

In SQL 6.5, when a scheduled job failed, you could see the error message in the history. In SQL 7.0, it simply tells you which was the last step to run. Is there a place which will report the actual error message generated by the task?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have set up a job as sa.After few days I changed the sa password.Now I am not able to view the latest job history since then.It says the last run as 'succeeded',but it is not showing the latest history since the time I changed the password.It still shows the previous history only.Do I need to delete the job and reschedule it?
Thanks!
I feel stupid asking this because I have worked with SQL Server 6.0/6.5 for serveral years now, but I can't seem to find the task history in 7.0. When I look at a task, I can tell if each step ran or not, but I am used to seeing error messages upon failure by right-clicking on the task and choosing history.
How do I find this in 7.0? In casual looking for a few days, I've come up empty.
Thanks.
I heard there is a way to publish the results of SQL 7 jobs to HTML files.

Hi all,
I have several transaction tables on which I need to track the changes. That is I need to maitain
the history of changes. Only few column values are changed often.
Which is the best way for tracking the changes.
1.Store the whole record after the change ?
Or
2.Store the ColumnName & its respective old & new value ?
Or any other better.
Note : UI part & SP's will take care of the tracking & no plans for triggers.
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to build a cube to monitor the sales performance. My measure is the sale amount. My dimensions include 1) Time 2) Sale hierarchy (salesman, sales office, region), and 3) Product Line. The problem I have is that when the salesman move from one office to another, the sales occured before this movement should continue to be credited to the old office. Only sales happen after the movement should be credited to the new office.
How should I implement the cube to achieve this effectively? We have more that 40,000 sales, about 500 offices, in the company to monitor. So I don't think keeping a copy of the sales hierarchy whenever there is a change is feasible.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated!
Thanks.
