Hello,
I need a help to pull information about SQL Server Agent jobs running on multiple instaces. (I am using Powershell)
I require: ServerName, JobName, Status (running, stopped, cancelled), Duration (if running from how long, was that hanged etc), step it is executing etc.
Since in my environment I am facing the Differential backups hanged for long time (days). Is there any way to monitor than Iam trying to.
Same thing with ReOrg jobs as well in the weekends.
Thanks in advance..
Cheers,
- Win

This might help get you started:
$Instances = (Get-Content 'C:\Instances.txt') # Make a text file containing your instances, one on each line
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null
foreach ($instance in $Instances)
{
$sqlServer = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server" $Instance
$sqlAgent = $sqlServer.JobServer
if ($sqlAgent -eq $null)
{
Write-Error "Could not get SMO SQL Agent object for $Instance, permissions issue?"
}
foreach($agentJob in $sqlAgent.Jobs)
{
'Name: ' + $agentJob.Name
'CurrentRunStatus: ' + $agentJob.CurrentRunStatus
'CurrentRunStep: ' + $agentJob.CurrentRunStep
'LastRunDate: ' + $agentJob.LastRunDate
}
}

Thanks for your fast response and help.
I used the PS script and ran today. I received only a single column results with numbers. Might be I missed something.
Is there any TSQL way to get that requested report. Like backup job running from 26:34:45 hrs etc like..
If I found a job running more than 24 hrs, I will kill the process and rerun to success in weekends.
Thanks in advance.

Did you create the text file with a list of your instances?
This is what you should see:
Name: Job Name 1
CurrentRunStatus: Idle
CurrentRunStep: 0 (unknown)
LastRunDate: 03/30/2013 18:53:11
Name: Job Name n
CurrentRunStatus: Idle
CurrentRunStep: 0 (unknown)
LastRunDate: 03/30/2013 18:53:11
.
.
.
Name: syspolicy_purge_history
CurrentRunStatus: Idle
CurrentRunStep: 0 (unknown)
LastRunDate: 04/02/2013 19:25:50
You could pull the answer back, likely with a single query, using T-SQL and Invoke-SqlCmd by referencing the job tables in msdb directly.

Very cool, Orlando. Good link, too! Book Marked.

Yes, please..
I have created a text file with list of servers (I am using powershell for the same list).
I could see only single column in result set, converted to CSV file.
Length
23
24
25
26
I have been using a query in my environment, is this the best one, any changes or better options than my below query, but its not giving results for latest, SQL Server 2012:
Please suggest.

INSERT INTO

sp_help_job might be a better option for you.
I looked into this once before when writing a synchronous version of sp_start_job and I think the trouble you're going to face, whether you go with T-SQL or PowerShell, is going to be figuring out when an executing job, and the step that is currently executing within that job, actually started executing. You can look at dbo.sysjobactivity but it's messy and I could not see where it was exposed in SMO as an object property.

You're using an undocumented proc. See if the documented proc I mentioned will be more helpful or research differences in the interface for the one you are using on 2012.
