consolidate MSDB

  • Dear Experts, Need your help.

    I have a server running on SQL2005 EE, with 1 user database and with other system db's (master,model,msdb). Now I have restoring in 1 more database with same SQL2005 EE from another system into this server.

    My question is, the existing MSDB have many scheduling jobs/maintenance job. And the New database which I am restoring from another server have its own Scheduling jobs (MSDB). If I restore the MSDB from another server the existing scheduling jobs will be overrided (If not mistaken).

    How to merger this both MSDB / restore all the scheduling jobs from another server.

    please help.

  • Read this blog post on how to script out Jobs, you can use these scripts to create the jobs in MSDB for your restored (newly attached) database.

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  • You can use SSIS Transfer Jobs Task to copy jobs from one server to another:
