Hi,
A Maintenance Plan Job for UpdateStatistics is scheduled from SQL Server 2008 and it is a weekly job (Sunday). Last Sunday it failed with the below error. Can some body help me to fix the issue.

The error does not show enough detail to debug the problem. Have you tried running the the package using the dtexec command line and redirecting the output to a file so you have the complete logging?

It will give you the failure message as the results you have there are truncated.

Having just re-read your question and realising you are using a maintenance plan.

You can edit your maintenance plan and if you click on the button that looks like 2 pages which when hovered over has the text "reporting and Logging" you can add logging output to a file. When the plan is ran this file will have the whole output and give you more information as to why the process failed which is not included in the SQL agent job output.

Has the job worked before? Has there been any changes in permissions?

Have you tried running the query in SSMS logged in as the same user running the job?

Thank you,

The job is running since 3 years,,, last 2 weeks it got failed. Nothing has been changed compare to earlier.

some body suggested to delete and recreate the job.. actually, it worked for them.

But I want to know the actual reason of the issue.

To know the actual reason, you need detailed logging.
