Disabled Schedule

  • Hey,

    We run Siebel on SQL Server 7.0 SP2 and NT4 SP6 and are experiencing problems with the transaction log schedule getting disabled on a daily basis.

    Note, the actual job is enabled, it's the schedule that seems to get disabled daily.  When I re-enable the schedule, the logs back up as normal throughout the day, but the next morning, I have to then re-enable the schedule.

    Has anyone else seen this and also found a fix for it?

    Unfortunately, due to us being a regional node, we can't upgrade the OS or SQL SP levels incase we mess up the replication beteen the HQ and ourselves!

    Cheers

  • The job will disable itself if sheduled run one time.

    Is this the only job get disabled daily? If not, schedule a job to enable it.

  • Hey,

    The job is scheduled to run every 30 minutes between 7:30am and 8:00pm (Mon thru Fri).  It runs without a problem during these times, but guaranteed, tomorrow I will need to re-enable the schedule.

    I could write a script to re-enable the job for me, but thats just avoiding the issue at hand.  Also, the other three jobs on the server do not have their schedule disabled.

    Cheers!

  • Another way to handle it (in a long run, upgrade may kill the issue) is a window schedule job (at command) to call it.

  • We were having the same issue in SQL 2000.  The resolution was to apply the latest service pack.  

    It is a KNOWN problem with both 2K AND 7.0.

    MS Knowledge Base recommends applying latest service pack for 7.0 as well.  Here is a link to the MS Knowledge Base article....

    Hope this helps!!!

  • Don't know if you're still having this problem but I've just spent more time than I should have trying to figure out why I was getting a similar problem. I eventually discovered that somehow an expired end date was set which was not obvious until I went into the 'edit recurring job schedule' window. Once I'd set it as no end date it worked a treat.

    Just as a final note I have also experienced similar problems with job scheduling which were fixed by the latest service pack.
