  • Reply To: SQL Server Agent Not Updating Job Next Run Date

    With the new job, did you use the same start date? If so, may not hurt to bump the new start date up to the next expected run date.

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • Reply To: ReportExecution2005.asmx

    Are you really using SSRS 2005 or 2008? If so, I would recommend upgrading to a supported platform.

    But, I wouldn't recommend adjusting the files manually when there is a GUI...

    To add to what Grant said, are you using this in a stored procedure and passing that B700 and C900 as parameters? If so, then this could be a parameter...

  • Reply To: Task Convert excel report into CSV - Field flows 1 failed

    Maybe I am a bit ignorant here, but can't Excel save as CSV? Do you really need an SSIS package to convert an Excel file to CSV?
