Hi,
Schedule backup job which usually completes in 1 to 2 minutes, it's been running for over three hours. Meanwhile transact log backup job executed and it's hanging also.
I stopped the jobs, which now shows last run status 'cancelled'. But the spid still exeists in 'current activity' pane with status 'runnable'.
No locks or blocks!
Is there anyway I can get rid of this spids so that I can start backup job again?
It's very urgent..
THanks
Hi Sql Pro,
Can u help me answer these 4 questions....
Can u schedule system/user databases backup when they are currently being used..
Does SQL Agent automatically start when u start SQL Server , if not why..?
Yesterday I setup a new server and most of the backup scheduled for midnight failed ...what maybe the reason...?I had set up all jobs as previously...?
What does the red 'X' against each job in the job scheduler indicate..?
Is there anyway u could start SQL Agent automatically ?????
Regards,
Bindu....
Hello,
Does anyone has a script or knows how to find out whether the schedule job completed or not?
If I schedule the job to backup all databases on server and e-mail me when job completes.
But one time the job got stuck and somehow never completed. Is there a way I can schedule the job to see whether the other job completed or not?
Thanks for the Help

When I change the SA password on my server the current Scheduled SQL Jobs no longer work. If I run DTS packages by themselves and not from the Scheduled job window they work fine. I am using the sa as the Owner of the jobs and my SQL Agents services use a Domain Account. If I rebuild the jobs after the sa password is change they work fine. However, I don't want to rebuild 100 jobs every time I change my SA password.How can I fix or get around this problem without rebuilding my jobs?

I have SQLServer 6.5 SP5a update running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6
with 4 gig RAM and 4 processor.
Suddenly the SQL 6.5 jobs running on the production server started running very very slow. A job that suppose to run in 30 minutes are running like 2 hours and completing successfully.
(I suspect the after the Norton Anti virus automatic live update may be the reason but not the Second Vulnerability as mentioned by Microsoft Bulletin last week)
I check the SQLServer, ran the performance monitor, checked pagefiles, disk space, databases,memory, tempdb. Everything seems to be normal.
I rebooted the server, checked any other process making that slow. But no use.
Please help me out with this issue as this is a production and the CRM applications from the clients uses the database server.
Thanks in advance,

Hi there,
I've got an urgent thing I need to resolve.
I have a package that has a file connection. We have set the connection in the package for development - we also have the connection in a config file.
We are calling the package from SQL Jobs. In the step we call the package in, we try to set the value for the connection in the Data Source tab. However, the package does NOT use the value we enter.
I then removed the connection from the config file - then the package uses what the connection was set to in development. It still will not use what we enter in SQL Jobs.
Furthermore, when we run the package we lose the values that we put in the DataSource tab!!!!
My work around has been to change the SQL Job type from an INtegration services package to a straight command line - this works.
The question is - can you set a package's connection strings from SQL Jobs using the SSIS Job Type ???
Thanks!!!
Hi,
I have a very peculiar problem. I have few CommandExec jobs on SQL Server 7.0 which has been scheduled to execute at a specific time. The jobs are executing properly but, the problem is they stop after the completion. i.e after finishing the jobs they still flash a message "Executing the job" they don't flash the message "Not Running" this is happening only to commandExec jobs, I have also few TSQL jobs which are working properly. I tried even giving the duration (start and stop time) but no use. Has anyone encountered this problem? If you have a solution PLS pass it on to me. I am in a very desparate situation.
Thanks in advance.

I am not able to run more than 8 jobs in SQL Server using SQL Agent JOB.
Any ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
How do we know the list of all the backups that are present in a particualr backup device like file# and time of backup taken etc for the purose of restore?
When I run :
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM BackupDeviceName
it doesn't give that info. Can anyone tell me the exact command to list all the files of a backup device so that I can restore the right one??
Thanks.

I have 3 seperate jobs to backup my database. 1 for a full backup, 1 for differentials, and the 3rd for the transaction log. Each is on its own schedule. The problem I have is that sometimes the transaction log job will try to start while one of the other two are in process. When this happens, an error is generated and I get paged (which is very anoying at midnight) Is there any way to block the transaction job until the other two are complete? It should still run, just not at the same time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a DB Maintenance plan created that performs optimizations, integrity checks, and a database backup. The optimizations and integrity checks work fine, but the backup job fails. The backup job is to write the .bak file to a network share.
When I change the owner of the job to "sqluser", the job fails at step 0 withe the following error:
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (rsnsqluser) of job DB Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'Online Database Server Maintenance Plan' has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'rsnsqluser'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).
Checked with the system admin for this server and sqluser has priviledges to do everything, including write to the network share.
So, now I change the owner of the same maintenance job from sqluser to "sa". I now get this error:
Executed as user: RSNsqluser. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
Checked the settings for MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT in Control Panel. Everything seems to be in order according to the other threads I have read.
For grins, I tried to ensure the sqluser password on the SQL Server Agent was correct. When I try to enter the new password I get this:
sql server agent startup account could not be verified
I click yes (it asks if I want to continue anyway).
Is the password not being registered properly in the agent?
One other thing, the sqluser user is listed under Security|Logins as connecting with Windows Authentication. We have several other servers that are set up the same and work fine. What am I missing? I'm pulling my hair out! :eek:
HI Guys.
i cannt' understand what's going on the server.. actually i have created a two jobs for full backup for my databases.. One is running perfect but one is giving me following error.
Can any one tells me where i m doing mistake.
Message
Executed as user: Domainuser. Cannot open backup device 'Database_Full(\192.0.0.1BackupsFULL_Backupsdatabase_Full.BAK)'. Operating system error 53(error not found). [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3201) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
Our sysadmin accidentally uninstalled SQL Server started to panic and reinstalled. Thankfully the data/transaction files to our important databases were still present and I simply reattached them but our DTS packages our gone.
However, we've done weekly backups of the msdb database. How do I get the DTS jobs out of these backups?
Such a simple task. Not doing as it should!!
This Maintenance Cleanup Task is set to delete all BAK and TRN files it's made (in seperate maintenance plans) in given path, with the given file extension, delete files based on the age of the file at task run time. Delete files older that 4 days.
The files are now backing up for months and months. I'm not going to take care of this. I've got a computer to do this for me, every time it runs its jobs, every 4 hours and once overnight.
This is ignoring commands and refusing to do as it's told. I've checked the settings in here over and over. It's so simple - what could be wrong? I've checked the path, the file age, the extensions... The disks are getting full!
Has anyone seen anything like this?
The backup jobs on one of our sql servers started hanging. The job appears to be complete because the backups are on the disk but the job never completes when viewed in the activity manager. sqlmaint.exe had numerous instances running all night long but the job never completes.
sql server 2000 standard edition sp3a
Windows server 2000
The jobs on this server have run successfully for well over a year and just recently they started hanging. We've done everything short of reboot the server. We've restarted the agent, shut down the sqlmaint.exe but alas nothing we do lets the job complete.
Other jobs that are not back up related are working as they should.
There is plenty of disk space.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance because we are lost as to the cause and resolution.
Hi, I've just been given the task of finding out how to implement a backup procedure for our SQL server databases. Most are running 2000, some 2005.
I'm a programmer, and I'm used to having a DBA to help me! I've seen a few methods on the web involving a stored procedure and running the task from task manager.
I need to backup and restore all the databases in SQL Server 2000 and work out a way of displaying whether or not it was successful.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction as I've no idea how to do any of this really. I guess if I could setup a sproc to loop through the databases that would help, but I'm not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance.
I want to schedule a database backup using SQL Server Agent Jobs how can i do this?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwe currently use Backup Scripts from Ola Hallengren, It Says Full (non copy-only) and differential backups are performed on the primary replica. Full(Copy-only) backups and transaction log backups are performed on the preferred replica.
we currently do FULL(COPY_ONLY) Backup everyday and LOG Backups for every 15 min, is there any performance benefit on running the FULL (non copy-only) on the preferred replica .
Intially my backup was working fine since couple of days it started failing, when i checked the backup through maintainance plan i saw that it does'nt recognize the mapped drive it says invalid drive.
Basically i want to take backup of the on database A from Server A to Server B which i mapped. G:oppxyz00t142linktest.
Both Sql server and Agent use the system account => kavitha is the user account through which i login hence i think this is the system user name, i have been give full access to the mapped drive.
I appreciate your help.

My database backup which was scheduled to run every day at 2A.M is still running, I issued kill command for the process at 10.45A.M , rollback process is still running for the last two hours. Can anyone help me out how to solve this problem.

Can I backup a db which is on server1 by sitting at server2 by way of running a script on server2.
Thanks.
My overnight backups hang occasionally. I say this because there is no consistancy to when the routine will hang. It happens on the first step where it reindexes. The only user database on the server is about 12GB. The server is dedicated to SQL so nothing else runs on it. It has 2x 800 MHz processors with 2 G of ram of which 1.5 is allocated to SQL.
I can't trace the error because it happens before the report is written to. There are a few tables with a million plus records that take up almost a 1G per table.
It was my understanding that if users were in the database they would notice a big performance loss but that the backups would still run. Could it dying because of resource contention? I'm at a loss and really could use some input. I can't afford to go a whole weekend without a backup.
Is there a way for me to progammatically check who is the database prior to the job kicking off?
Any ideas as to what would cause an inconsistant hang of job is greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Kelsey
Hi,

By mistake i restored a database to different one.
It actullay overwrote it.
Is it possible to roll it back to the state before i restored.
I need your answer as soon as possible
I have got a recent backup problem that just does not make sense. The system is able to perform hourly backups of my transaction logs fine but my daily backups of the entire database which occurs every night now fails. I tried recreating my daily backup job all over again from scratch and the job still fails.
When I perform a manual backup of the database however the system works fine.
Hi All,
