currently im using Sql server 2008 r2 (will soon be upgrading to 2014). I need some help in changing job step properties using script.
I have around 20 jobs with each job having 4 steps.
I'm trying to change the below highlighted option using sql server script. Because manually changing all these options is a difficult task.
Please help me in writing script to remove the output log path, uncheck append to log, check log to table and check append log to table options.
I got the script
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_jobstep #job_id=N'5e998659-8539-45d2-bf4f-874375c0a111', #step_id=1 ,
#output_file_name=N'',
#flags=16

I have a SQL Server database set up that I manage using SQL Server Management Studio 17.
In that database, I have 27 tables that I maintain by running pretty simple OPENQUERY scripts every morning, something to the effect of:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS [databasename].[dbo].[table27]
SELECT * INTO [databasename].[dbo].[table27] FROM OPENQUERY(OracleInstance, '
SELECT
table27.*
FROM
table27
INNER JOIN table26 ON table27.criteria = table26.criteria
WHERE
< filter >
< filter >
');
And this works great! But, it is cumbersome to every morning, sign into SSMS, and right click on my database and hit "New Query" and copy in 27 individual SQL scripts and run them. I am looking for a way to automate that. My directory that holds these scripts looks like this:
I don't know if this is achievable in SSMS or in like a batch script. I would imagine for the latter, some pseudocode looking like:
connect to sql server instance
given instance:
for each sql_script in directory:
sql_script.execute
I have tried creating a script in SSMS, by following:
Tasks -> Script Database ->
But there is no option to execute a .sql file on the tables in question.
I have tried looking at the following resources on using T-SQL to schedule nightly jobs, but have not had any luck conceiving of how to do so:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/agent/schedule-a-job?view=sql-server-2017
Scheduled run of stored procedure on SQL server
The expected result would be the ability to automatically run the 27 sql queries in the directory above to update the tables in SQL Server, once a day, preferably at 6:00 AM EST. My primary issue is that I cannot access anything but SQL Server Management Studio; I can't access the configuration manager to use things like SQL Server Agent. So if I am scheduling a task, I need to do so through SSMS.
You actually can't access the SQL Server Agent via Object Explorer?
This is located below "Integration Services Catalog"
See highlighted below:
You describe not being able to access that in the question for some reason. If you can't access that then something is wrong with SQL Server or perhaps you don't have admin rights to do things like schedule jobs (a guess there).
In SSMS you would wnat to use Execute T-SQL Statement Task and write your delete statement in the SQL Statement field in the General Tab.
However, I would look at sqlcmd. Simply make a batch script and schedule it in Task Scheduler (if you're using windows). Or you could use
for %%G in (*.sql) do sqlcmd /S servername /d databaseName -E -i"%%G"
pause
From this post. Run all SQL files in a directory
So basically you have to create a Powershell script that calls and execute the sql scripts.
After that you can add your Powrshell script to the Task Scheduler.
I suggest you add these scripts as jobs for the SQL Server Agent.
I am deploying SSIS packages which are then deployed in DEV (on SQL Server). The packages are executed via job steps using the Integration Services packages job step type (select the type, then select the SSIS server and browse to the package in the catalog)
When this is done, the project and package parameters show up, and we can set certain ones, and others are set via script on the SSIS server so the connection managers IN the package are ok, but FINALLY, my question is:
Does anyone have clever ways to script/deploy the job without having to go change the SERVER: value from, for instance DEVSSIS to PRODSSIS ?
Previously, we were running these packages via PowerShell script that would figure out the local server. We wanted to use the more standard SSIS step so that parameters could be changed if needed in the job step but now it looks like we will have to change the SSIS server by hand.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks
At a previous shop, we would script out the job, and then at the top we would add a variable, (like #SSISServerName) and populate it based on the value of ##SERVERNAME (WHEN ##SERVERNAME = 'MyDevServer' THEN 'MyDevSSISServer' etc...)
Then obviously, go through the rest of the script and replace hard-coded SSIS Server Names with the new variable.
It worked back in SQL 2005 for sure. We could use that job script to deploy the same job to any environment as long as we had accounted for it as a possible ##SERVERNAME value. Dunno if anything has changed in SQL 2014 to prevent this strategy from working.
I needed some guidance with a task I have never worked with SQL Server 2012. Your help would be very much appreciated. I have inherited a data model in SQL Server.
Basically, I have 5 SQL scripts:
Script A
Script B
Script C
Script D
Script E
For running successfully script B,it needs access to tables generated by script A to perform calculation. Basically, the scripts are feeding each other. I need to run the scripts in a specific order.
My first idea was "stored procedure". So far, I have in the past only written a stored procedure to execute code from the same script that do not require executing other scripts.
My question is, what are some ideas you propose for automatically executing the above 5 scripts in a specific order? how can I do this? What would you recommend me to think when doing this?
Running the complete list of scripts takes around 10 hours.
You could easily create a new SQL Server Agent Job task like this:
Expand the SQL Server Agent node and right click the Jobs node in
SQL Server Agent and select 'New Job'
In the 'New Job' window enter the name of the job and a description
on the 'General' tab.
Select 'Steps' on the left hand side of the window and click 'New'
at the bottom.
In the 'Steps' window enter a step name and select the database you
want the query to run against.
Paste in the T-SQL command you want to run into the Command window
and click 'OK'.
Click on the 'Schedule' menu on the left of the New Job window and
enter the schedule information (e.g. daily and a time).
Click 'OK' - and that should be it.
Repeat these steps for each scripts in the order you want them to run. And, there you go!
I have a SSIS package I am trying to schedule. I create a new job under SQL Server Agent. On the Command line tab of the jobstep, I choose "Edit the command-line manually".
The changes are retained as I switch from tab to tab within the job step but whenever I exit and save the job, the changes are lost.
Any ideas what's going on?
I'm on SQL Server 2008.
This is a confirmed bug, but here's a workaround that my team uses:
1) Script the create job statement (without your edits)
2) Delete the job from SQL Agent
3) Perform your edits in the create script
4) Execute the create job
This will allow you to keep your manually modified command line options.
There is a bug with the Set Values properties in SQL Server Agent for SSIS packages. You need to save the job step while still on the tab I think(?). I'll see if I can remember and reproduce the steps, but you're not going crazy. ;)
You may need to click "OK" for the job step, and "OK" for the job before moving on to any other changes in the job.
try a copy save as on the package and save change the protection level to encrypt sensitive data with password
I had the same issue when trying to append /DumpOnError to the command line tab of the only step in a job. What I realized was that the change was really performed. And I found it out by generating the "create job" script. What was happening then? Well, it seems as if in the edit box of the command line tab you always got the "default" configuration, however the real one is. I checked it on three installations. 2008 standard, 2012 enterprise and 2017 enterprise.
I am trying to edit or view the SQL Agent's job (I am the owner of this job) from SSMS 2005 and I can't find out how to do this. When I am double-clicking a job or entering job's properties I get empty "New Job" window.
Is there some way to correct this behavior?
You can genereate SQL Script for SQL Job and then edit it. right click the job and then
click generate SQL Script. Here you can also change the job properties with the sql sciript
I ran into this problem a while back. I'm not entirely sure what caused it, but the fix was installing sp2 of sql server onto my local machine (or whichever machine you're using ssms on). the only documentation i found at the time suggested that that was the only solution.
I suggest you create a new job explicitly, then try editing your new job the same way and see what happens.
In particular, it's possible that your old job really is empty.
not sure what your issue with SSMS is. Maybe you dont have permission?
Unless your sa you need to be a member of the SQLAgentOperatorRole in MSDB?
If you can still run queries then look at the sysjobs and sysjobsteps tables in the MSDB database, this has all the properties
You can use the sp_update_job to modify the job
