Try sysjobschedules.

You can get pretty much the same information from the sysjobhistory table, which is in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Look at run_date, run_time, and run_duration.

If you're interested in current rather than historical data, use sysjobschedules as Lynn suggested.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies !!!

The sysjobschedules doesn't provide me when the job started and finished information. Also, I am not looking for the next run date or last run date information.

I need the table or something which gives me the information like :

When actually the SQL Agent job started and what time it finished.

This information I can get in SQL Server 2005 by quering the sysjobacitivity table with the start_execution_time and stop_execution_time columns.

Regards,

Sree

You'll have to use the sysjobhistory table and compute the end date/time using the run_date, run_time, and run_duration columns.

Hi Manu,

Thank you very much for providing me with the SP.

I have a crazy doubt, please correct me if I am wrong.

Is the date and time shows the time at which the job finished executing ?

Thank you once agian for your valuable SP.

I was in the middle of writing a SP to get the job start time and end time in SQL Server2000, now I can use your SP and modify it to get the result what I am looking for.
