  • Hi,

    I am using Sql Server 2008 R2,

    I want to create a Job in Sql Server Agent.

    I had created a job but it is not executed on given schedule.

    The Problem is,my Sql Server Agent is not showing the green arrow,

    I had checked the services for the same,

    it is showing status as Running,

    Mode as Automatic

    Please help me.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Right-click on Agent in SSMS. If "Start" has been greyed out, it is already running.

  • check and verify that sql server agent services are up and running. Also check if any error is recorded in log.

  • Hi,

    On right clicking Agent Start option is gray.

    i had check in services also it is showing me as running.

  • Check the job history to see if the job failed. (did the job even start?)

  • The green arrow is missing if you do not have permission on the host server to stop and start the service, thats all it signifies
