Agent Job

  • I have a job that runs nightly, it normally completes in a very short time but the Log File Viewer History shows it as still running after the last run, while Explorer details show it as not running as does sys.dm_exec_sessions.

    I have tried stopping the job and get a failure message indicating the job is not running!

    I have restarted the agent but still the job is reported in the History pane as still running!!

    I have tried the usual searches and not found a solution. Has anyone come across this and if so found a solution; the running time in Job History is still incrementing.

    ...

  • Sounds like a bug, are you on the latest Service Pack for 2012?

  • I've seen this kind of behavior before when a SQL Agent job gets interrupted by something like a server reboot. You can usually find if that happened in the Windows Event Viewer of the server SQL is running on.

  • How large is the dbo.sysjobhistory table in msdb? Seen similar on the same version/patch level when the table grows huge.
