maintence job failed, where to find detail

  • I have a maintence plan called reorg that did some thing like check database integrity, update statistics, reorgnize index, delete old history.

    But it failed this weekend, from the job history I can see the error log as below,

    I cannot see which step was errored out. I tried to see the history in maintence plan, there is nothing recorded for today's run.

    where can I find out which step it failed and what was the reason it failed.

    Thanks

  • You need to check the maintenance plan history - not the agent job history. To do that, right-click on the maintenance plan in Object Explorer and view history.

    This will show you all of the tasks in the maintenance plan - and which one failed. Once you find the one that failed, in the bottom of the window the error text will be displayed. Note: this is not very easy to read because of the size - so I copy/paste the text into notepad to view.

    If you have any issues figuring out what failed and why, please post back and we'll help you figure it out.

  • Thanks,

    I did check the maintence plan history, see the last lines in my original post, there is not a record for today's run in the history, the last run was previous Sunday.

    So I cannot find any information about today's run in maintenance history.

    I was surprised too to see there is not a row for today's failed run.
