Initiating subscription is a tedious task in SQL Server Reporting Services. Each subscription in Reporting Services is setup as a SQL Server Agent job, but the job names are Unique Identifier its hard to remember and re-call. Have complete information in single query makes one easy to validate and execute the report with ease
You can manually invoke the job using T-SQL
USE [msdb] EXEC sp_start_job @job_name = ’4008B6C3-D588-4D31-A565-F9527015DE79′
In the below code change the <ReportServer> parameter to corresponding ReportServer database name.
USE <ReportServer> GO SELECT sj.[name] AS [Job Name], c.[Name] AS [Report Name], su.SubscriptionID, su.OwnerID, c.[Path], su.Description, su.EventType, su.LastStatus, su.LastRunTime, sjs.next_run_date, CASE ss.[enabled] WHEN 1 THEN 'Yes' WHEN 0 THEN 'No' END AS [IsEnabled] , CASE WHEN [freq_type] = 64 THEN 'Start automatically when SQL Server Agent starts' WHEN [freq_type] = 128 THEN 'Start whenever the CPUs become idle' WHEN [freq_type] IN (4,8,16,32) THEN 'Recurring' WHEN [freq_type] = 1 THEN 'One Time' END [ScheduleType] , CASE [freq_type] WHEN 1 THEN 'One Time' WHEN 4 THEN 'Daily' WHEN 8 THEN 'Weekly' WHEN 16 THEN 'Monthly' WHEN 32 THEN 'Monthly - Relative to Frequency Interval' WHEN 64 THEN 'Start automatically when SQL Server Agent starts' WHEN 128 THEN 'Start whenever the CPUs become idle' END [Occurrence] , CASE [freq_type] WHEN 4 THEN 'Occurs every ' + CAST([freq_interval] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' day(s)' WHEN 8 THEN 'Occurs every ' + CAST([freq_recurrence_factor] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' week(s) on ' + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 1 = 1 THEN 'Sunday' ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 2 = 2 THEN ', Monday' ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 4 = 4 THEN ', Tuesday' ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 8 = 8 THEN ', Wednesday' ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 16 = 16 THEN ', Thursday' ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 32 = 32 THEN ', Friday' ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN [freq_interval] & 64 = 64 THEN ', Saturday' ELSE '' END WHEN 16 THEN 'Occurs on Day ' + CAST([freq_interval] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' of every ' + CAST([freq_recurrence_factor] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' month(s)' WHEN 32 THEN 'Occurs on ' + CASE [freq_relative_interval] WHEN 1 THEN 'First' WHEN 2 THEN 'Second' WHEN 4 THEN 'Third' WHEN 8 THEN 'Fourth' WHEN 16 THEN 'Last' END + ' ' + CASE [freq_interval] WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday' WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday' WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday' WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday' WHEN 5 THEN 'Thursday' WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday' WHEN 7 THEN 'Saturday' WHEN 8 THEN 'Day' WHEN 9 THEN 'Weekday' WHEN 10 THEN 'Weekend day' END + ' of every ' + CAST([freq_recurrence_factor] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' month(s)' END AS [Recurrence] , CASE [freq_subday_type] WHEN 1 THEN 'Occurs once at ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_start_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') WHEN 2 THEN 'Occurs every ' + CAST([freq_subday_interval] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' Second(s) between ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_start_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') + ' & ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_end_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') WHEN 4 THEN 'Occurs every ' + CAST([freq_subday_interval] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' Minute(s) between ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_start_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') + ' & ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_end_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') WHEN 8 THEN 'Occurs every ' + CAST([freq_subday_interval] AS VARCHAR(3)) + ' Hour(s) between ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_start_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') + ' & ' + STUFF( STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST([active_end_time] AS VARCHAR(6)), 6) , 3, 0, ':') , 6, 0, ':') END [Frequency] , STUFF( STUFF(CAST([active_start_date] AS VARCHAR(8)), 5, 0, '-') , 8, 0, '-') AS [ScheduleUsageStartDate] , STUFF( STUFF(CAST([active_end_date] AS VARCHAR(8)), 5, 0, '-') , 8, 0, '-') AS [ScheduleUsageEndDate] , [ss].[date_created] AS [ScheduleCreatedOn] , ss.[date_modified] AS [ScheduleLastModifiedOn] FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS sj INNER JOIN dbo.ReportSchedule AS rs ON sj.[name] = CAST(rs.ScheduleID AS NVARCHAR(128)) INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules sjs on sj.job_id=sjs.job_id INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysschedules ss on ss.schedule_id=sjs.schedule_id INNER JOIN dbo.Subscriptions AS su ON rs.SubscriptionID = su.SubscriptionID INNER JOIN dbo.[Catalog] c ON su.Report_OID = c.ItemID order by [Report Name]
