How SQL Jobs will work in always ON configuration?
As per my understanding "Always ON" configuration internally have two nodes and active node will always serve the request. But suppose I have SQL Jobs in these nodes then how can I enable/disable these jobs based on active node?
Kindly provide the best practises.

How to find who has modified maintenace plan backupjobs?
Hi folks,
Recently we had a trouble, in Maintenace plan for backup jobs we configured as retention period of older than 4 weeks jobs has to be deleted automatically. but someone has changed the rention period as 3 weeks. we are not able to found out who has modified the plan?
Is there any query has available to modified time,login details has modified the plan?
I checked this query:
select * from sysmaintplan_logdetail
select * from sysmaintplan_log
select * from msdb..sysmaintplan_plans (nolock)
select * from msdb..sysmaintplan_subplans
not having those information...kindly clarify my doubts.

Needing help outputing Sql report to .csv to network folder
I have a sql report that I have scheduled to run every day within the SQL 2008 R2 - SQL Service Agent. My problem is, I need the output for Sql report to automatically download as a comma delimited file to a folder on our local network. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this?

SSRS Subscription run causing locking of the tables and results in SQL Agent job failure
I have one SSRS report which has been scheduled to run first 10 days of every month and has been in place since 2015 but from last week onwards, the scheduled report subscription run had been taking around 2 hours to complete processing which normally take max 10 minutes.
this is also causing issues with the SQl Agent job failure as the table which are being queried by the report run are getting locked and the SQL Agent job is unable to access those tables and getting failed with Time Out error. when Subscription run is completed, all the jobs run within the time without any errors.
I had checked the data set queries for the report, and in some of the data set queries there are WITH(NOLOCK) options defined with the Table definition but not in all the data set queries.
I am not really looking for defining the WITH(NOLOCK) options in every data set as this gives dirty reads but any locking strategy that can be used in SSRS Report which can prevent the SQL agent jobs to fail when subscription runs.
i even tried enabling **READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON** on the database where my tables are present and are being queried but this resulted in the Subscription processing errors though the SQL Agent jobs didn't fail during the subscription run.
i am looking for any lock mode that can be set at the query level or on the connection string or any other option. NOLOCK is not necessarily the answer for this, although good for throughput, it uses dirty reads which can produce inconsistent data.
Any suggestion around this?

SQL Agent CmdExec proxy ignored
I am trying to execute a batch file from a SQL Server Agent job cmdexec step. I created a proxy to execute as my domain account (just testing on my machine for now) and assigned that proxy to the job step. Unfortunately, it seems to (sort of) ignore the proxy. I've reduced my test to 1 simple echo command instead of the batch file while I try to figure out what is going wrong.
echo %date% %time% %username%
The job runs successfully, and this is the output:
Executed as user: DEV\tomstaab. Tue 01/12/2016 12:12:49.64 DEVTOMSTAAB$. Process Exit Code 0. The step succeeded.
`DEV\tomstaab` is my domain username.
`DEVTOMSTAAB` is my machine name.
Any idea why it would appear to *start* executing as me but then switch to the machine account?
`DEVTOMSTAAB` is my machine name.

Stored Procedure : Inconsistent times of Execution
Hi Guys
I have been facing a scenario where one of the stored procedure is taking more time to execute on certain days than the other. The maximum time it takes is arround 10 minutes and the least is 3 minutes. Stored procedure is part of one of the steps in a sql job. The volume of data and the code remains the same.
How would I troubleshoot this case.
Thanks

SQL Job running long. Need timing for each stored proc running.
Hi,
I have a job that just started running long. There is only 1 step which executes a stored procedure. That stored procedure kicks off multiple stored procedures when processing. I'm trying to pinpoint which stored proc is taking so long. What is the best way to determine length of time for each? It runs off hours so I can't execute manually.
Thanks!

PowerShell versions in SQL Server Agent 2008 R2 - How to upgrade from V1.0 to higher versions
I have question about using PowerShell in SQL Server Agent on SQL Server 2008 R2.
* What circumstances would lead to only having PowerShell V1.0 available in SQL Server Agent task steps (even when launching PowerShell.exe from a cmdexec step), and how can I get more advanced versions?
Googling has revealed to me that the sqlps "mini-shell" used by the PowerShell steps in SQL Agent typically returns a version of 2, but is very constrained in terms of the cmdlets actually available to it. Therefore, it is common to launch new PowerShell.exe processes to get access to either v2.0 or v3.0 functionality.
However, when I schedule steps that launch PowerShell in SQL Agent, the shell appears to be version 1. I am beginning to suspect that this server only HAS version 1 installed (originally, I was mislead by launching the SQLPS shell from within SSMS on my workstation and finding version 3.0 available when I would launch PowerShell.exe within the sqlps console - I am reasonably sure that process was launched from my workstation, not whatever is available server side).
Working through this question, I think the answer might be that I need to talk to the sysadmin about updating either the operating system (I think that version number indicates the OS is Windows Server 2003) or install PowerShell V3.0 (or maybe both). Does anyone have any cautionary tales about upgrading PowerShell and SQL Agent? Do we need to uninstall PowerShell V1.0? Will SQL Server Agent be able to pick up the new version of PowerShell without trouble?
Addendum - Version info:
From a PowerShell script run in SQL Agent, using an operating system task (CMDEXEC), which launched powershell.exe and returned $Host.Version information:
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
1 0 0 0

Can powershell script in sql job step call the next step in the same job
I need to call Step 2 only if criteria is met and it is a certain time of day. Here is the PS script for Step 1
Step 1 - check for files
$Checktime = Get-Date
$jobName = "Check For Files"
$stepName = "Send No Invoices Email"
IF ( (Test-Path -Path "\\test\data\AP\*.csv") -eq $true )
{
$sqlConnection = new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$sqlConnection.ConnectionString = 'server=test;integrated security=TRUE;database=msdb'
$sqlConnection.Open()
$sqlCommand = new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$sqlCommand.CommandTimeout = 120
$sqlCommand.Connection = $sqlConnection
$sqlCommand.CommandText= "exec dbo.sp_start_job APProcess"
$sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
$sqlConnection.Close()
}
ElseIf ( ($Checktime -ge (Get-Date 8:00) -and $Checktime -lt (Get-Date 9:00) ) )
{$sqlCMD = "EXEC dbo.sp_start_job N'{0}', @step_name = N'{1}'" -f $jobName, $stepName
$sqlCMD
}
Step 2 - Send Specfic email
I tried to raise an error and on failure go to step 2, but the first step actually failed and sent incorrect emails. I also tried not assigning the jobname and it failed with syntax error. Can PA initiate a step in the same job?

can't find the object that is running this SQL job
I have a disabled SQL job with no schedule and I can't find the object that is running this job.
It's using a service account and is being executed at the same time every day.
I have searched for the job name everywhere, nothing in any jobs, stored procedures, triggers & functions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(...not sure what the point of disabling a job is, if it can still be run?)

Agent Job Error- Sql Linked Server Job error (Error 7350)
I have a scheduled job that is running everyday. The job step is to execute a stored procedure for hourly caching logic for Case load Data.
The job has been successful until yesterday afternoon when it failed with the following errors:
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "EDV_TBI". [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7350)
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "EDV_TBI" returned message "ERROR: TEIID30504 COHORT_PROD_ENT_NICOE: 17008 TEIID11008:TEIID11004Error executing statement(s): [Prepared Values: [] SQL: SELECT DISTINCT g_0."SITE_ID", g_0."DIVISION_DMIS_ID_CODE" FROM "ENT"."CHCS_DIVISION" g_0, (SELECT MAX(g_1."LAST_CHANGED_TIMESTAMP") AS c_0, g_1."DIVISION_DMIS_ID_CODE" AS c_1 FROM "ENT"."CHCS_DIVISION" g_1, "ENT"."CHCS_HOSPITAL_LOCATION" g_2 WHERE g_1."SITE_ID" = g_2."SITE_ID" AND g_1."DIVISION_ID" = g_2."DIVISION_ID" AND g_1."DIVISION_INACTIVE_FLAG" = 'A' AND g_1."DIVISION_NAME" <>". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.
I am unable to test connections or even run the select statements as above ^ since I am not a mapped login on the remote Oracle server. I am an SA on the local SQL server though.
I have double checked these conditions to make sure that it is not true:
a. Allow Inprocess is not checked for the provider
b. SQL Server service is started as a Local Service
c. The user is a regular user that is part of the Administrator’s group. (either local user or domain user)
d. User Account Control (UAC) is turned off
e. SQL Server Management Studio is opened as the regular user using Windows Authentication
I am suspecting that there may be syntax issues or the query is returning too many rows. But not 100% since I cant run those queries myself. Any other way I can proceed to troubleshoot?
Any recommendations will be helpful.

Job Schedule Management tools and techniques
My company has several SQL servers and a few other servers that run jobs, tasks and processes that affect our data. I would like to start managing these jobs as a big picture/view from above perspective. So, I would be able to schedule maintenance, downtime, special projects, optimize the processes, etc...
Are there any tools out there to help manage scheduled processes across servers? Ideally, I would like to see a ghantt-syle chart similar to the MS Outlook Scheduling Assistant, but I'm very open to other tools and ideas.

SQL Job schedule got disabled
Hi,
I am trying to investigate why
all jobs for a particular database were detached from schedule (though jobs were not disabled) but did not trigger having no schedule. (I have attached a screen shot, to identify the Enable check box)
Any thoughts to investigate where shall I look. I could not find any clues from default trace, but have saved default trace into a table
Onwards I am going to setup an Audit. 
Hint.
any changes in schedule will modify "msdb.dbo.sysschedules" and we can find the last modification but unable to check previous -- we should have some thing in default trace data.
select name, date_created, date_modified from msdb.dbo.sysschedules where CAST(date_modified AS DATE) = '2022-10-06'
