Greg, thats a great idea, wish I had thought of it! Im getting to that point, lots of jobs and lots of email, and beyond that processes that run on various non SQL machines that still have to be monitored. This is a good start. Only question I had was do you need global temp table rather than plain?

I have found that xp_sendmail does not like accessing standard temp tables that were created outside of it. I presume that this is caused by xp_sendmail running as a seperate connection, and therefore being unable to access the temp table that the job has created. I find that a similar problem occurs with variables.
Have you any suggestions as to how this difficulty might be overcome? (or, failing that, a better understanding of what might be causing this?)
Dave.

Dave's explaination is exactly the reason why I used a global temp table.
Dave I think you are right on regarding a different connection. I think this is because you could be logged on as user "XYZ123", but when you run xp_sendmail it runs under the MSSQLSERVER account to send the mail. Therefore a new connection "must" be established to send the mail.

I required a similar solution to monitor failing jobs, but across multiple SQL Servers. I ended up writing a script using SQLDMO to get this done. I don't think you would be able to do this using TSQL unless you used linked servers (which wasn't possible in my environment).
Good article.

Julian

Good Idea. I'm working on retrofitting my report process and other automated DBA process to run from a single server and monitor multple servers. I also am having problems getting it to work across all our servers. Maybe I'll consider re-writing in SQLDMO. Thanks for the tip.....

We do a similar thing - check several different servers for failed jobs nightly. We have one job on a master server that queries MSDB on the other servers (yes, we use linked servers). Each step in the job runs the query on a different server and appends the results to a text file. The last step is to mail the text file.
It's simplistic, but pretty easy to maintain and use. If anyone wants the code, let me know.

If its not too long, post the code here, or you can add to the script library.

We do the same thing with a DTS package that uses an ActiveX script to log into each of our 41 servers and query msdb. The results are written out to our web server so I just need to look at the web page each morning. No linked servers necessary.

Looks like lots of good methods to accomplish the samething.
Betsy - I would like the script that uses the linked servers.
