I believe one sproc basically checks whether log shipping is still in synch, and if not, fires another that generates an error in the SQL log. As we are using the monitoring tool we therefore have double the number of alerts needed.The idea is to disable/delete this job if found redundant.Thanks,BLLCREATE PROCEDURE sp_log_shipping_monitor_backup ASBEGIN DECLARE @primary_id sysname DECLARE @primary_server_name sysname DECLARE @primary_database_name sysname DECLARE @maintenance_plan_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER DECLARE @backup_threshold INT DECLARE @threshold_alert INT DECLARE @threshold_alert_enabled BIT DECLARE @last_backup_filename sysname DECLARE @last_updated DATETIME DECLARE @planned_outage_start_time INT DECLARE @planned_outage_end_time INT DECLARE @planned_outage_weekday_mask INT DECLARE @sync_status INT DECLARE @backup_delta INT DECLARE @delta_string NVARCHAR (10) DECLARE @dt DATETIME SELECT @dt = GETDATE () SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE bmlsp_cur CURSOR FOR SELECT primary_id, primary_server_name, primary_database_name, maintenance_plan_id, backup_threshold, threshold_alert, threshold_alert_enabled, last_backup_filename, last_updated, planned_outage_start_time, planned_outage_end_time, planned_outage_weekday_mask FROM msdb.dbo.log_shipping_primaries FOR READ ONLY OPEN bmlsp_curloop: FETCH NEXT FROM bmlsp_cur INTO @primary_id, @primary_server_name, @primary_database_name, @maintenance_plan_id, @backup_threshold, @threshold_alert, @threshold_alert_enabled, @last_backup_filename, @last_updated, @planned_outage_start_time, @planned_outage_end_time, @planned_outage_weekday_mask IF @@FETCH_STATUS <> 0 -- nothing more to fetch, finish the loop GOTO _loop EXECUTE @sync_status = sp_log_shipping_in_sync @last_updated, @dt, @backup_threshold, @planned_outage_start_time, @planned_outage_end_time, @planned_outage_weekday_mask, @threshold_alert_enabled, @backup_delta OUTPUT IF (@sync_status < 0) BEGIN SELECT @delta_string = CONVERT (NVARCHAR(10), @backup_delta) RAISERROR (@threshold_alert, 16, 1, @primary_server_name, @primary_database_name, @delta_string) END GOTO loop_loop: CLOSE bmlsp_cur DEALLOCATE bmlsp_curENDGOThu, 15 Nov 2012 04:14:44 GMTblacklabellover2003
