Job with steps problem

Hi all,
I have Windows 2003 r2 Server x64, sql 2005 sp1 x64 with sql 2000 latest sp
on one machine.
In SQL2005 I have created 2 maintenance plans - one for 2005 and second for
2000
Also created 3rd job (first 2 were generated by maintenance plans) with the
following steps:
1. cmd to move filese from A to B
2. SQL SISP package \Maintenance Plans\2005
3. SQL SISP package \Maintenance Plans\2000
When I execute that job it goes to step one and move those file, it's ok.
But step 2 and 3 are not executed correctly, I mean they are executed
(Successful) but that maintenance plan is not executing. After all I'm
getting the successful result but no backup are mage
Tried to execute those maintenance plans one by one. 2000 - successful but
nothing happens, the same is for 2005
When I execute the job associated - all is ok.
How could I add defined JOB to the Job Steps, to make it all run?
Thank you in advance
Alex
I don't think it is a good idea to call job from another job's step.
I mean you have to be certain that it is really business requirements
Take a look at sp_start_job system stored procedure in the BOL

job steps synchronous?

Quick question - if I have several steps in a job are they run one after the other or can there potentially be overlap. In one step I create a file and the subsequent step copies it, so I'm concerned that the first completes before the second begins
TIA
Frank SThey are sequental.
Bojidar Alexandrov|||Frank,
My experience is that it is no overlap.

JOB STEPS OUT OF ORDER

Hi People, I'm facing a very strange situation !
I recently imported some jobs using a script and I
realized that all the steps are out of order when I click
on start job, for example I HAVE 4 steps and it shows like
this 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 ! WHAT IS THAT '
I also notice that when I create new JOBS all order for
the steps are wrong ! WHATA IS THAT JESUS !
Please HELP ME ! THANK'S !
.I bet you installed the MS03_031 SQL Server Patch. After
I installed this patch I had the same problem. You / we
will need to wait till the next patch. :(

Job Steps Displayed Out of Order

When selecting to start a job manually, the job steps
appear out of order (step 3 is above steps 1 and 2 and
the like).
Any ideas what is causing this, and how to correct it?And, as I said, I don't see this and can't reproduce it. So something must
be different about *your* job, which is why I asked to see the SQL script.
We're not going to be able to guess at what's wrong unless we actually have
a script that we can use to reproduce your scenario!

When you say step 3, 2, 1..., do you refer to the ID shown on Steps tab, or
the number prefix you may have added in the name of each job step?
If you click on "Move step" (up and down arrows), the ID always stays in
ascending order but the actual job steps move.

Job step cmdexec for applicaiton

Hi,
In a job, as one of the last steps, I want to execute an application.

Can someone please let me know the command (cmdexec) to be put

Right now, I have put "E:\Program Files\Postscript\gsview\gsview32.exe" which is not working

I know for dts packages, the command is
dtsrun /FE:\temp\Let-Stat MIS\Letters_Import.dts /NLetters_Import

Thanks and regards

job script

Hi all,
I'm doing some scripts in a schedule job. Looks like I have some limitations
on the size of the code inside of the steps.
It's a way to fix this?

Job scheduling

Hi,

I have two jobs scheduled on the Agent. Each job has ten steps. The next step is executed only if the previous suceeds.

I want Job 2 to execute only if Job 1 suceeds. How do I schedule that?

I was thinking that I can have the ten steps of Job 2 as steps (11 to 20) of Job 1 with each step executing after the previous one succeeds. If I do that then I can get rid of Job 2.

Let me know what approach you would advise.

Thanksthats what i would do|||I think that is the only option. I am not aware of any other way of controlling the job sequence.|||You don't have to merge two jobs into one. At the end of job1, on step 10 choose "go to next step if succeeds" and then add one more step with command:

exec sp_start_job @.job_name = job2

Job schedule success/failure

I have a job that has 4 steps, all of which have to run. They are all T-SQL
scripts. How can I get the job to report failure if step 2 fails but step 4
doesn't?Stephanie wrote:

Are you saying you want the job to continue should one of the steps fail
or are you saying you want all the steps to run regardless of success
and have the job report failure if any of the steps fail. If the latter,
then how will you resolve running the failed step?

want failure of the job as a whole to be based on failure of any one of the
steps. If a step fails, I will worry about that later. But I'd like all
steps to run no matter what and I'd like to get an alert if any of the steps
fail as opposed to just the last step.

You can check the "Append output to step history" for each step. In the
morning, examine the job history and show step detail. If there were any
failed steps, you'll see them there. Make sure each step is created to
proceed to the next step on failure or success.

Job problem

Hello,
I have a job where in one of the steps I'm coping a
database backup file from one server to the other using
an operating system command xcopy. The command I'm using
is below, but the job keeps failing on this step. The
error I get is "The job failed. The Job was invoked by
User TST-SQL\VDURAN. The last step to run was step 3
(copyfile).".
The command works fine if I execute from the actual
command prompt of the source server. My destination
server directory is shared and I have set my permssions
to full control for everyone. Please help.
xcopy d:\backups\TestBackup\OrdersDB.bak
\\duran\DBBackups\
TIA,
VicWhat is the exact error for step 3 ? Is this using a CmdExec job step ?
If you look at the step history you should see the exit code for the step
and the error.
If the file exists you will want to use the /Y switch for xcopy to allow
overwring of the file although this would generally hang the step if this
was the issue. How about just using copy /Y does this work ?
I take it that the SQLService account is running under a domain account ?

the xcopy command? Also, you may want to create the job
step to execute a command (.cmd) file rather than the
command itself. This would allow you to do some type of
eror code processing. It's been a long time since I've
done that in DOS batch files, but it should be doable.
Most likely you either have a path problem or a
permissions problem though.
I know this is a rather vague response, but hopefully it
will lead to something.

I got kind of a similar issue with few jobs. To pin point
to the culprit, I set the DTS package to log the whole
process.
I found out which steps in my DTS package were failing and
not the generic SQL message from the job history, which
never says exactly what happened.
I have quite a few stpes in each job that uses windows
tasks. Two of those needs some time to be completed.
The first one, unzips a daily file to be run by other
steps to copy or update some tables.
The second step, copies the unzipped files to a different
server.
I applied two solutions for those command steps.
1. For the unzip command, I added an activeX step, which
loops while the file is being used by the DTS. Problem
solved here.
2. For the copy unzipped files to a different server (I
had to copy instead of moving files due to some internal
applications), I did take the step off the DTS and
schedule it to run a few minutes after the main job is
completed. Problem solved! for good.
Set the DTS log first to see exactly where your DTS is
failing, I bet is the move step (same thing happened to
me) I hope this helps. Good luck

Job not working in SQL server

Hi,
I have put a job with 3 steps.
But appear this message : "The job failed. The Job was
invoked by Schedule 15 (IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL). The last step
to run was step 3 (IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL)".
What I Can do to solve this problem'
ThanksYou need to see what Step 3 :- IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL is trying to do.
I would imagine it executes a DTS Package, hopefully that DTS package was
designed to produce a Log output file. That Log file will give you the real
reason for the failure.

Specify an output file for that jobstep and look at the messages in there. Hopefully this program
produces output from which you can determine what it wrong.
