SQLserver agent Job doesnt work

  • Hi

    I have made a packages that works nice when I execute the package but when I am doing a schedule job then doesnt it work.

    This is the error code:

    "The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0xB4B1D2612F8DC04194B919CFBE45923A (reason: The system cannot find the file specified).  The step failed."

     

    I have tried to change the permissions and nothing seems to help.

    Can anyone explain why it doesnt work

  • Unfortunately, without understanding what step 1 does I am only guessing as to what the real issue is.

    When you run the package yourself it runs from your PC and under your login security.

    When you schedule a package it runs from the SQL server and under the "Run as" that you set in the package.

    I would make sure that the userid that the package is running under can get to wherever it needs to go i.e. windows directories, databases, etc....

     

    Good Luck

  • Also, if you are using mapped drives then make sure that the server has the same drive mappings.


    When in doubt - test, test, test!

  • Is there a way to check wich userid that are used?

    Is there any differenses when I use a domainuser (\\domain\user) as the owner of the job.

  • When you open the scheduled job there should be on the first screen a job owner...  that is who is running the DTS package scheduled.

    When you manually run the package it uses your authentication.
