Can not open sql agent job

  • I get this error when i double click on my job to open.

    Cannot show requested dailog.(SqlMgmt)

    Failed to retrive data for this request.

    An Exception occured while executring T-SQL statement or batch.......

    Cannot perform this operation when SQL Agent is starting. Try again later.

    (MicroSoft Sql server error:14258)

    This happens to all the jobs under Agent. I installed SP2 3073 patch today, does it effect any ways.

    thanks

  • have you tried opening the job remotely through SSMS on another machine?

  • On the SQL Server, check the status of the SQL Agent in Services.msc and see if it is stuck in the starting state. If it is, try restarting it manually.

  • In Services.msc if SQL Server agent is stuck and shows the status restarting since long...

    You need to stop it from command prompt:

    net stop "SQL Server Agent(MSSQLSERVER)"

    Once stoped; start it:

    net start "SQL Server Agent(MSSQLSERVER)"

    Hope this will work 🙂
