Unable to Edit/Delete Job

  • I've created/scheduled a maintanence plan to backup a list of selected databases on my test server.  I recently renamed two of my databases and wanted to edit the maintanence plan I created to now refer to the new db names.  When I try to edit/delete the actual jobs I get the following error: 

    Error 14274:  Cannot add, update, or deleted a job (or its steps or schedules that originated from an MSX server.

    I was able to delete the original maintanence plan. I created a new maintance plan to refer to new db names.  I now just need to delete the old jobs that are now failing.

    Any suggestions?

  • Is this job origination from another server ? (check the "target server(s)" pane when you edit the job)

    You could try to alter the job so it only runs local, or you'll have to modify it at your central job server.

  • Has the server name changed?  If so try running this command:

    Update msdb.dbo.sysjobs set originating_server = <newserver name> where originating_server = <oldservername>

  • Just throwing out an idea.....

    Can you restart the SQL Server Agent and then try to delete it?

    Just a random thought.

    A little bit of this and a little byte of that can cause bloatware.
