Limit size of Job History Log (Log Size in rows and rows per job) is set to max 999999.[/quote]If you set Log Size in rows and rows per job both to 999999.If any of the jobs are running regulary every 15 minutes or lesser will have more log that the less frequent jobs.Reduce rows per job to the level you want and try. Fri, 17 Aug 2012 03:00:24 GMTdurai nagarajanhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1346136-146-1.aspxI have seen strange issue pertaining to Retention of Job history on one of the production server.1. Job is SQL Server Agent Job, this is not created through Maintenance Plan.2. Limit size of Job History Log (Log Size in rows and rows per job) is set to max 999999.3. I want to retain for 3 weeks.4. The history is available for only 2 days.5. There are only 6 jobs, the total number of rows including all jobs in History are less than 500.6. Automatically remove agent history is not working properly. Even I set it, when I close SQL Server Agent Properties window and reopen. The setting whatever I set will not remain same. That checkbox will be unchecked automatically.Thanks in advance.RegardsThu, 16 Aug 2012 11:21:28 GMTpawana.paul
