Title says about as much as I can say, I have tried stopping these packages from running but the stop operations seem to have no end. How can I kill the running operations?
I have tried restarting the server but they still seem to be running
Update:
Here's the activity monitor processes with all the operations still running as above:
So my solution, which is not really a solution was just to delete the SSISDB and create a new one. If you find a real solution please let me know
Right click SSISDB under Integration Services Catalog - Select Active operations - Select your operation and click stop.
You can also script this to for example
USE SSISDB
GO
EXEC [catalog].[stop_operation] 82428
You can also get all your running status by doing this:
SELECT 'exec [catalog].[stop_operation] ' + CAST(operation_id as varchar(10))
FROM [SSISDB].[internal].[operations]
where status = 2
And then copy them to a query window and execute it.
And if that doesnt work - You could either stop your SQL Job agent Job or kill the processes under Activity Monitor - But that should be the last option.

I have two SSIS jobs that are stuck in Created Execution status. They cannot run since the package version has changed (I get Error Msg 27150: The version of the project has changed since the instance of the execution has been created. Create a new execution instance and try again.) I do not want to run this anymore, just delete it.
How can I remove these from the execution log? catalog.stop_operation does not work since there is no active operation for this job.
Note: the job does not appear in Active Operations, since it never started.
SSISDB keeps track of all operations that are currently active/executing. In order to retrieve a list of all active operations, you need to right-click SSISDB and choose Active Operations
You can then click the Stop button located at the bottom right of the window
It’s also possible to do the same process via T-SQL. You can stop a package by calling the stored procedure catalog.stop_operation passing the operation ID as a parameter
Use this query to retrieve all currently running packages in the SSIS. Catalog and their IDs:
SELECT * FROM SSISDB.catalog.executions WHERE end_time IS NULL
The statement below stops the execution of the SSIS package with operation_id=65
EXEC SSISDB.catalog.stop_operation #operation_id = 65
I am using SQL Server 2016, and have some Jobs running in the SQL Server Agent. Today I found one of the job is taking too long (10hours!) to run and is still processing, so I try to stop that. I tried right-click and stop the job, it showed a success message. However, when I go to the Job Activity Monitor, it is showing that the job is still running! I also tried the following code:
USE [msdb]
GO
EXEC dbo.sp_stop_job N'Process Reserving MI (except problematic tables)'
GO
It also says the job stopped successfully. But again when I go to the Job Activity Monitor, it is showing that the job is still running!
Can any one please help?
At the end I have to ask the server team to reboot the server in order to solve this problem
I use RODBC to send queries to an SQL-Server. Sometimes they take too much time to run, so I need to cancel them.
Clicking the red "stop" button in RStudio yields this error message:
R is not responding to your request to interrupt processing so to stop
the current operation you may need to terminate R entirely.
Terminating R will cause your R session to immediately abort. Active
computations will be interrupted and unsaved source file changes and
workspace objects will be discarded.
Do you want to terminate R now?
And if I click yes my session is indeed terminated. (note: using Rgui instead of RStudio doesn't make things better)
However:
when I use another software (named "Query ExPlus") to connect to this same SQL-Server, I have a similar stop button, and clicking it instantly interrupts the query, without any crash.
when I connect to a PostgreSQL database using the RPostgres package I can also interrupt the query at any time.
These two points lead me to think that there should be a way to solve my problem. What can I do?
So far my workaround is:
library(RODBC)
library(R.utils)
withTimeout(mydf <- sqlQuery(myconnection, myquery), timeout=120)
Note: I don't have permission to kill queries from the database side.
I've just stumbled upon the odbc package. It allows to interrupt a query at any time.
Basic usage goes like this:
library(DBI)
myconnection <- dbConnect(odbc::odbc(),
driver = "SQL Server",
server = "my_server_IP_address",
database = "my_DB_name",
uid = "my_user_id",
pwd = "my_password")
dbGetQuery(myconnection, myquery)
I don't have a deep understanding of what happens behind the scenes, but for what I've seen so far in my personal use this package has other advantages over RODBC:
really faster
get the column types from the DB instead of guessing them (see here)
no stringsAsFactors and as.is arguments necessary
Most SQL Server users use SQL Server Management Studio (which is free and can be downloaded from Microsoft) to connect to SQL Server or execute commands from the command line via a tool called SQLCMD.
If you can determine the session id that the SQL Command is being run in you can kill the session which would stop any executing command(s). SQL Server will still need time (could be a 'long' time) to rollback any changes made during the execution of the command.
Terminating a session (depending on the software) can take a while to communicate to SQL Server that the session has been terminated. When I connected to DB2 from SQL Server using linked servers DB2 would buffer the terminate command and it would frequently take up to an hour for DB2 to realize the session had been terminated.
To determine what the session you are running in you can try:
select ##spid;
once you have the spid (lets say 86)
you can then issue (depending on if you have permission to do so)
kill 86;
but as Microsoft notes:
Terminates a user process that is based on the session ID or unit of work (UOW). If the specified session ID or UOW has a lot of work to undo, the KILL statement may take some time to complete, particularly when it involves rolling back a long transaction.
Try to close your "tab query" on SQL Server Management Studio
Then it will appear pop-up,
This Query is currently executing. Do you want to cancel this query ?
Cancel anyway, choose "yes".
try to set your connection prior to query:
sql = odbcConnect('Database name')
Then use same line to run your query:
mydf <- sqlQuery(sql, " myquery ")
Note: The running time is dependant on both database and R server but setting up the connection this way should resolve termination problem.
My dbms_job has been running for nearly thirty days.
The number of total time keeps rising, but I can't find any info of the running job.
When I execute sql that is "select * from dba_jobs;", the result shows no job is running.
I set it to broken, but it doesn't work.
How can I stop this dbms_job safely?
DBA_JOBS lists all the jobs created in the database. You could use DBA_JOBS_RUNNING view to list all jobs that are currently running in the instance.
When I execute sql that is "select * from dba_jobs;", the result shows no job is running.
This shows all the jobs created using DBMS_JOBS package. The job might have created using DBMS_SCHEDULER package.
SQL> select job from user_jobs;
JOB
----------
99
I have created only one job using DBMS_JOBpackage which is called 99.
Others are created using DBMS_SCHEDULERpackage which can be seen using:
SQL> select job_name from user_scheduler_jobs;
As per the documentation-
Stopping a Job
Note that, once a job is started and running, there is no easy way to stop the job.
Its not easy to stop the job.
Don't know which version of Oracle database are you using. But starting with Oracle 10g You use the following query to list the scheduled jobs.
SQL>select * from all_scheduler_jobs;
ALL_SCHEDULER_JOBS
ALL_SCHEDULER_JOBS displays information about the Scheduler jobs accessible to the current user.More...
Use the following query to find the currently running job.
SQL>select job_name, session_id, running_instance, elapsed_time, cpu_used
from user_scheduler_running_jobs;
And to stop-
SQL>EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.STOP_JOB (job_name => 'JOB_NAME');
Short of killing the session, you're out of luck.
From the Documentation:
Note that, once a job is started and running, there is no easy way to stop the job.
That's one of the many reasons why you shouldn't use dbms_job anymore. Use dbms_scheduler instead.
checkout SID in "select * from DBA_JOBS_RUNNNG"
thats session ID
kill that session and thats it changes will be rolled back, so it can take "more" time to abort than letting it finish if that bulk update was 90% complete....
Is it possible to set up somehow Microsoft SQL Server to run a stored procedure on regular basis?
Yes, in MS SQL Server, you can create scheduled jobs. In SQL Management Studio, navigate to the server, then expand the SQL Server Agent item, and finally the Jobs folder to view, edit, add scheduled jobs.
If MS SQL Server Express Edition is being used then SQL Server Agent is not available. I found the following worked for all editions:
USE Master
GO
IF EXISTS( SELECT *
FROM sys.objects
WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MyBackgroundTask]')
AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyBackgroundTask]
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE MyBackgroundTask
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- The interval between cleanup attempts
declare #timeToRun nvarchar(50)
set #timeToRun = '03:33:33'
while 1 = 1
begin
waitfor time #timeToRun
begin
execute [MyDatabaseName].[dbo].[MyDatabaseStoredProcedure];
end
end
END
GO
-- Run the procedure when the master database starts.
sp_procoption #ProcName = 'MyBackgroundTask',
#OptionName = 'startup',
#OptionValue = 'on'
GO
Some notes:
It is worth writing an audit entry somewhere so that you can see that the query actually ran.
The server needs rebooting once to ensure that the script runs the first time.
A related question is: How to run a stored procedure every day in SQL Server Express Edition?
Yes, if you use the SQL Server Agent.
Open your Enterprise Manager, and go to the Management folder under the SQL Server instance you are interested in. There you will see the SQL Server Agent, and underneath that you will see a Jobs section.
Here you can create a new job and you will see a list of steps you will need to create. When you create a new step, you can specify the step to actually run a stored procedure (type TSQL Script). Choose the database, and then for the command section put in something like:
exec MyStoredProcedure
That's the overview, post back here if you need any further advice.
[I actually thought I might get in first on this one, boy was I wrong :)]
Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I find it more useful to simply use Windows Server Task Scheduler
You can use directly the command sqlcmd.exe -S "." -d YourDataBase -Q "exec SP_YourJob"
Or even create a .bat file. So you can even 2x click on the task on demand.
This has also been approached in this HERE
I'll add one thing: where I'm at we used to have a bunch of batch jobs that ran every night. However, we're moving away from that to using a client application scheduled in windows scheduled tasks that kicks off each job. There are (at least) three reasons for this:
We have some console programs that need to run every night as well. This way all scheduled tasks can be in one place. Of course, this creates a single point of failure, but if the console jobs don't run we're gonna lose a day's work the next day anyway.
The program that kicks off the jobs captures print messages and errors from the server and writes them to a common application log for all our batch processes. It makes logging from withing the sql jobs much simpler.
If we ever need to upgrade the server (and we are hoping to do this soon) we don't need to worry about moving the jobs over. Just re-point the application once.
It's a real short VB.Net app: I can post code if any one is interested.
You could use SQL Server Service Broker to create custom made mechanism.
Idea (simplified):
Write a stored procedure/trigger that begins a conversation (BEGIN DIALOG) as loopback (FROM my_service TO my_service) - get conversation handler
DECLARE #dialog UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION #dialog
FROM SERVICE [name]
TO SERVICE 'name'
...;
Start the conversation timer
DECLARE #time INT;
BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER (#dialog) TIMEOUT = #time;
After specified number of seconds a message will be sent to a service. It will be enqueued with associated queue.
CREATE QUEUE queue_name WITH STATUS = ON, RETENTION = OFF
, ACTIVATION (STATUS = ON, PROCEDURE_NAME = <procedure_name>
, MAX_QUEUE_READERS = 20, EXECUTE AS N'dbo')
, POISON_MESSAGE_HANDLING (STATUS = ON)
Procedure will execute specific code and reanable timer to fire again.
You can find fully-baked solution(T-SQL) written by Michał Gołoś called Task Scheduler
Key points from blog:
Pros:
Supported on each version (from Express to Enterprise). SQL Server Agent Job is not available for SQL Server Express
Scoped to database level. You could easiliy move database with associated tasks (especially when you have to move around 100 jobs from one enviromnent to another)
Lower privileges needed to see/manipulate tasks(database level)
Proposed distinction:
SQL Server Agent (maintenance):
backups
index/statistics rebuilds
replication
Task Scheduler (business processes):
removing old data
preaggregations/cyclic recalculations
denormalization
How to set it up:
get source code from section: "Do pobrania" - To download
(enabling broker/setting up schema tsks/configuration table + triggers + stored procedure)/setting up broker things)
set up configuration table [tsks].[tsksx_task_scheduler] to add new tasks (columns names are self-descriptive, sample task included)
Warning: Blog is written in Polish but associated source code is in English and it is easy to follow.
Warning 2: Before you use it, please make sure you have tested it on non-production environment.
Using Management Studio - you may create a Job (unter SQL Server Agent)
One Job may include several Steps
from T-SQL scripts up to SSIS Packages
Jeb was faster ;)
You should look at a job scheduled using the SQL Server Agent.
