Failure of index maintenance job.

  • I have an index maintenance job which runs once every week.

    It has been failing for some reason for the last 2 weeks , although it had succeeded the week before .

    Heres the script .

    EXECUTE EDMDefault.dbo.IndexOptimize @databases = 'APEXProduction',

    @FragmentationHigh = 'INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',

    @FragmentationMedium = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE',

    @FragmentationLow = NULL,

    @UpdateStatistics = 'ALL',

    @OnlyModifiedStatistics = 'Y',

    @LogToTable = 'Y'

    Thanks in advance 🙂

  • Since none of us are looking over your shoulder, please will you post the stored procedure definition and the error message?

    Thanks

The step failed.

    Really not able to find the definiton of the sp ... any help where to look for it ?

  • Mmmm... that's not too helpful. Try running the proc from the SSMS so that the messages don't get truncated.

    You'll find the proc in the EDMDefault database. Expand the database, then Programmability, then Stored Procedures, then right-click on IndexOptimize and choose Modify. Either that or run USE EDMDefault, then EXEC sp_helptext IndexOptimize.

  • This looks like my index maintenance stored procedure.

    Could you check if you have output - files configured in the job?
