SQL 2005 Job history

  • I have scheduled a sql 2005 job to run at 1am in the morning,

    example:

    10-09-10 > I created a job

    So the job properties show scheduled for the first run on 11-09-10 , 1 am.

    Now, when I checked the job history on 11-09-10 I didnt see any job history for it.

    Howver I could see that the last executed date was 11-09-10, but no job history.

    Please advice.

  • I think the job history entry for 11-09-10 has been removed from msdb database.

    Regarding this situation I have following suggestions:

    1) Increase the job history log size (right click on SQL Server Agent -> Properties -> History...)

    2) For important jobs, setup notification to send you an email

    3) To see the history of 11-09-10, restored the backup of msdb to a test server with different name and query it.

    4) If this job is created by a maintenance plan, check the log folder. It will have text file report for each execution.

    Hope this helps you.
