Failed to notify ''operator name'' via email?

  • I recently encountered a situation on a new server (SS2012) where I wanted an email notification if any SQL Agent job failed to execute to successful completion but could not get it to work. I never had the problem before. ????

    To test it, I created a SQL Agent job with a T-SQL script that was bound to fail, executed it, and no email message was received.

    To make a long research story short, placing this short T-SQL script at the beginning of all SQL Agent jobs' T-SQL scripts solves the problem:

    "SET XACT_ABORT ON"

  • It works 4 m... Thanks 😀

  • This was the answer I needed. Thanks.

    Hi all,

    some time ago i had the same problem.

    I fixed this and make a docu to solve this.

    But i have no idea how i can post this document here.

    If everyone would have this, send me a mail: <A href="mailto:gerd.hoefler@gmx.at">gerd.hoefler@gmx.at</A>

    8 years and 2 days, several versions of SQL and this post still helps...:w00t:

  • I sometimes see criticism of posting on old threads. I think the criticism is misplaced.

    Good information is never antiquated.

    I just had the same problem.

    Ihad to enable DatabaseMail on the SQL Server Agent -> properties -> Alert System (check the checkbox), and then restart SQL Server Agent.

    It works now, thanks to a posting by "Johnny" in microsoft.public.sqlserver.serverwith the topic "How to setup Operator for sending alerts?"

    HIH

    8 years later, this is still relevant.... thanks, that was causing my problem today 🙂 Two servers, one with this set right and one it got missed on and we couldn't figure out why some jobs notified upon failure and others didn't.

  • Perfect! That's just the info I needed.

  • Hi Gerd

    I have sent an email to you asking yu to send me the document but got a bounced back email.

    Can you please tell me your present email id?

    Thanks.

  • Just wanted to keep the "Thank You" chain going into year 2016!

    I was having this exact same problem in SQL Server 2008 and enabling Alerts for SQL Server Agent and restarting the service worked for me.

    Thanks a million!

  • The answer is still going strong - than you.
    enable DatabaseMail on the SQL Server Agent -> properties -> Alert System (check the checkbox), 
    2016 - nice if the error message could have given more clues.
    Anyway - thank you
