job history getting deleted within 3 days

  • can u please advise me y the job history in sql server agent is not retaining for more than 3 days for some job

  • I can't verify this, as I don't have access to a SQL2005 instance at the moment, but I'm fairly certain the default is to keep the history for a maximum of 1000 job runs, and a maximum of 100 for any given job.

    To change it, you will need to configure this in SQL Agent. I can't give you exact keystrokes (for the reason explained above), but you'll probably find it somewhere if you right-click SQL Agent in SSMS.
