How to get complete error detail when a job fail, through notification

  • Hi,

    Well whenever my job gets fail i get the notification through the operator that my job failed and i get the following statistics.

    JOB RUN: 'ABCD_TODO_REMINDER' was run on 3/16/2008 at 12:30:02 AM

    DURATION: 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds

    STATUS: Failed

    MESSAGES: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 153

    (ABCD_TODO_REMINDER). The last step to run was step 1 (ABCD_TODO_REMINDER).

    These are the statistics, i want to get complete error details in my email, as operator is configure to send email, i wonder if sql server 2005 provide this facilty to get complete error detail while sending notification, or i have to do something extra....if yes wat is that...

    Highly appreciate any feedback

  • select * from msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory where message like '%failed%'

    Ones that you need the full failure message on you could write a job to check this table every x minutes and do a sendmail job with the full error message as the message body for jobs that failed.

  • Thansk Animal Magic for you quick response, well yup better to add another step on job failure and get the details from sysjobhistory table and then emailing it.
