Custom sp_start_job to delay next task until SQL Agent Job has completed

  • Article

The system stored procedure sp_start_job is a very useful T-SQL command that starts a SQL Agent job. The problem with this is that it starts the job and it doesn't wait until the job is finished and sometimes I want to start a job and wait until the job is finished and move on to another job or task that depends on the result of the previous job.
