Job Status

Hey guys,

I need to know the current status for a job that i started.

I knew that sp_help_job give me all this information, but i have to do IFs, so I have to set a variable with this result. I only need the columns last_run_outcome and current_execution_status.

How do I to get only this values from a Job_id ??

i Looked in almost all table from msdb to find these 2 columns and nothing ... :/

Anyone can helpme ?The Answer Is :

use master
exec sp_addlinkedserver @.server = 'LocalServer',
@.srvproduct = '',
@.provider = 'SQLOLEDB',
@.datasrc = @.@.servername
go

select last_run_outcome, current_execution_status from openquery(LocalServer, 'set fmtonly off; exec msdb.dbo.sp_help_job')
go
exec sp_dropserver 'LocalServer'

U donot need to drop the linked server, I did that to ensure that noerror will be shoed when adding linked servers

Bye

job status

Hi,
Is it possible to find out the current status of a job (sql 2000 sql job),
i.e. whether it is idle/running/failed, etc
Thanks in advance!!Try giving select privilages to msdb..sysjobhistory and msdb..sysjobs
tables.
select name,run_status from msdb..sysjobhistory a,sysjobs b
where a.job_id=b.job_id
and name='name of the job'
explanation for run_status:- You could write a case statement with
run_status with below description.
0 = Failed
1 = Succeeded
2 = Retry
3 = Canceled
4 = In progress
Thanks

use -- 1 = Executing, 2 = Waiting For Thread, 3 = Between Retries, 4 = Idle,
5 = Suspended, 6 = [obsolete], 7 = PerformingCompletionActions to modify it
as you like.

Job History is missing

I've come into a new SQL server 200o environment and for some reason, none of
the jobs keeps a history past one day. The current production DBA says he has
no idea what's causing it. Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
Thanks in advance.See if the size of the job history has been limited. This can be found in
Enterprise Manager by selecting your server, going to Management, then right
click on SQL Server Agent and select properties. The Job System tab has
options for limiting the size of the job history log.
