On our SQL Server theres a SQL Job which is ran every hour. On one particular hour it doesn't seem like the SQL Job was ran, and that was due to the SQL Server Agent being stopped during a backup.
If SQL Server Agent has been stopped, are the jobs which are supposed to be ran during the time its stopped simply ignored, or ran later when SQL Server Agent is running again?
They are ignored.
You can set up a schedule to start automatically when SQL Server Agent starts if you want to do some custom logic here such as checking for missing runs (and you can assign multiple schedules to a job)

We have an SQL Server 2014 with a lot of Jobs that are scheduled every 12AM. They are around 70-80 jobs that will run at 12 AM. All jobs run successfully, then we just noticed that we can no longer access the SQL server on a client workstation, nor telnet the port of the SQL. The services are still running but when we try to restart the SQL Service, it does not restart successfully. The only way to make this work again is to restart the server.
This is now happening for 3 days straight and we cannot isolate what may be causing this.
We have checked all the logs in SQL and even the event logs of the windows but there is nothing to show about any error that may cause this.
There is no any scheduled task outside SQL Job that are scheduled at midnight.
Hope you can help me as this is a big issue on us since this is a production server and we cannot avail to have the server to restart every day.
I have 6 ssis packages. All packages are for loading flat files into sql server table. I have created a sql server agent job to automate the flat file load process and put all packes exxecution in different steps. If the first file fails to load into the SQL server table, all the succeeding steps (packages) should not execute. Can I create a transaction to in sql server agent to do this?
Thank you for your help and time.
Change your job step to "Quit the job reporting failure" for the On Failure setting. No need for transactions at all.
Is it possible for script to run on its own on sql server when connection closes without sql server agent?
I'd like to start for example long insert script from ETL and have it run through the night without logging into remote server and running that there.
SQL Server Agent is doing the work at the moment but it would be nice to dynamically adjust those scripts in ETL software without having to change job steps in agent.
Hope there is just some obvious trick which hasn't crossed my mind :)
Does the SQL Server Agent affect the performance of SQL Server?
Do I need to stop it to increase SQL Server speed!
If yes, please give me more details
The SQL Server Agent is a service which executes any jobs you have configured on the server. It will not inherently affect performance itself, as it's not running most of the time.
When it runs a job, the performance hit will be identical to if you were running the items in the job yourself.
If you were to disable it, you wouldn't be able to run any jobs. Probably not a great idea.
I have created a package using SSIS 2012 that uses data mining query & runs perfectly well in SQL Server Data Tools.
The problem is that it does not finish running when scheduled on SQL Agent. The package runs about 60 seconds in data tools and it never finishes when scheduled.
I have enabled logging but nothing is logged while running as a job.
Please advise.
Update 1:
Error message: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Pivot of Integration Services or higher.
Update 2:
Package ran by setting delay validation to true on data mining query.
However, the job on sql agent runs in funny way every second job takes 12 minutes to run while every other one takes 1 minute to run.
You do not have the SSIS bits installed on that machine. Find your installation media and click back through the install process. Ensure that you have selected the SQL Server Integration Services Service (isn't that a mouthful).
