I have a SQL2012 running multiple Jobs successfully except for one. The one job executes a stored procedures which drops a table and the table gets recreated via an insert statement. Every morning I see the table empty which leads me to believe it's getting executed but when I look at the History of the job it shows nothing at all. And I don't get any notifications when the job fails.
I am curious if there is a specific log location I can look to see the job is getting started but something (maybe a backup) starts and kills the job.

I have an SSIS job which pulls data from one database and pushes into another. Currently the actions are triggered when a record is inserted into a table.
My understanding is using a SQL Server trigger to launch an SSIS Job is not advised. Suggesting to me the preferred route for this use case is to use a recurring schedule.
If I schedule every 10 seconds, will the ETL job launch again if the previous run has not finished? (Is there a better word to describe this behavior in the computing spacing?) If the job relaunches, is there a preferred way to accomplish this behavior?
If I schedule every 10 seconds, will the ETL job launch again if the previous run has not finished?
No. The next run time is computed once the job finishes, based on the "Starting at" and the next interval that meets the cycle interval.
While it is running the "Start Job at Step" option on the SQL Server Management Studio interface will be grayed out.
If you try to kick off the job again forcefully using sp_start_job, you'll get a error message saying it's already running.
I have two SQL Agent Jobs.
One fires weekly, one is supposed to fire monthly.
The both contain a series of select statements for the same database and tables. I then email the results out. Both jobs also contact a series of insert/update statements to update the same 2 tables.
The queries for both jobs work when run directly from management studio. The email is sent, and the tables are updated.
The problem is when I run the monthly query as a job, the weekly job works as expected. I noticed yesterday, my monthly job didn't send the email it was supposed to. Upon further investigation, it did run the update statements, but the email itself failed.
The error in the log states
"Executed as user :dbo. The EXECUTE permission was denied on the
object 'sp_se
Upon investigation, I do see this as being a relatively common error, and I see the fixes people are doing. That being said, I am curious why these two jobs would have different results given its the same database, same tables, having similar queries, and looking in the job they both are being run as the same user.
Any suggestions on what to look for would be welcome.
On the advanced tab of the step, it had DBO in it, I removed it and the job ran
We are getting timeout issues on our databases. So I trurned on SQL Server Profiler and see SQLQueryNotificationService running every second with long duration. I checked the Service Broker and there are bunch of SQLQueryNotificationService queues created. I don't think we created any of these queues also there are bunch of stored procedures like these SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-15c5b84b-42b0-4cfb-9707-9b1697f44127. Could you please let me know how to drop them? If I drop them is there any impact on the database? Please let me know. I appreciate any suggestions.
Do you have an ASP.Net web site running or another application that creates Sql Server Cache dependencies? It is Sql Server Service Broker queues, it executes that WAITFOR ... statement which waits for around one minute (60000 msecs), then executes again next second. Shouldn't normally cause problems, it shouldn't block or delay your "normal" queries or stored procedures.
However, I saw it causing issues for me once - one of the stored procedures, when executed from the same web application that established the cache dependency, did timeout (or rather came back in 120 secs which is not acceptable). Exactly the same stored procedure, executed under the same account with same parameters, but from Management Studio, ran fine without any issues. It was SQL Server 2005 SP4.
SQL Profiler showed that in the middle of execution of my stored procedure (and always after the same INSERT INTO ... statement), its execution was interrupted and instead of its statement there was that WAIT FOR .... from Sql Query Notification, completed in one minute, then another WAIT FOR... starting and again, completed in 59 secs - and only after that the Profiler showed me my stored procedure completed. With the duration of 119000, which is almost exactly two minutes.
It was if that query notifications were joining the transaction within my stored procedure.
What helped: recompiled the offending stored procedure. I simply changed its script, did ALTER statement with some minor syntax changes. No problems after that.
I am working with SQL Server 2008. Using the Agent, I have created a job and scheduled it to execute every minute.
The job executes a stored procedure that moves data from table XXX, to a temp table, and then eventually into table YYY.
The execution of the job may take more than one minute - since the data is rather large.
Will a second instance of the job be started even though the first instance is still running?
If so, should I mark records in temp table (status = 1) to indicate that those records are being processed by a previous instance of the job?
Is there a way for me to check that an instance of the job is currently running, so that I don't initiate a second instance of the job?
Is there another solution for this that I am unaware of? (throughput is important)
Only one instance of a particular job can run at any one time.
So there is no need to take any particular precautions against another execution of the same job beginning before the first one has stopped.

Running Jobs

If a job has started according to its schedule, you cannot start another instance of that job on the same server until the scheduled job has completed. In multiserver environments, every target server can run one instance of the same job simultaneously.
I need your suggestion on tracing the issue.
We are running data load jobs at early morning and loading the data from Excel file into SQL Server 2005 db. When job runs on production server, many times it takes 2 to 3 hours to complete the tasks. We could drill down to one job step which is taking 99% of the total time to finish.
While running the job step (stored procs) on staging environment (with the same production database restored) takes 9 to 10 minutes, the same takes hours on production server when it run at early morning as part of job. The production server always stuck up at the very job step.
I would like to run trace on the very job step (around 10 stored procs run for each user in while loop within the job step) and collect the info to figure out the issue.
What are the ways available in SQL Server 2005 to achieve the same? I want to run the trace only for these SPs and not for certain period time period on production server, as trace give lots of information and it becomes very difficult for me (as not being DBA) to analyze that much of trace information and figure out the issue. So I want to collect info about specific SPs only.
Let me know what you suggest.
Appreciate your time and help.
Thanks.
Use SQL Profiler. It allows you to trace plenty of events, including stored procedures, and even apply filters to the trace.
Create a new trace
Select just stored procedures (RPC:Completed)
Check "TextData" for columns to read
Click the "Column Filters" button
Select "TextData" from the left hand nav
Expand the "Like" tree view, and type in your procedure name
Check "Exclude Rows that Do Not Contain Values"
Click "OK", then "Run"
What else is happening on the server at that time is important when it is faster on other servers but not prod. Maybe you are running into the daily backup or maintenance of statistics or indexes jobs?
