Deadlock notification(When many jobs hangs)

  • Hi,

    Is there a way to alarm/moniter of any deadlock.

    As many times it happened that many of my application job (due to DML and data fetched from many linked server)and my db bkp jobs hanged was only notified when my jobs kicked of in the next schedule by application team.

    Is there a Query to check, which i can run from Query anlayser.

    Can any one of you suggest ideas.

  • I don't know of a direct way to do that through T-SQL. There are monitoring tools that can alert you when there's a deadlock. I think RedGate's SQL Response can do that.

  • A deadlock won't cause a job to hang. It would cause a job to fail. Are you sure you're getting deadlocks, and not regular blocking?
