  Hi!

  Is there a way to force a scheduled job to fail if it has been running for about an hour so that I can be notified through mail?

  Or is there a way to force a scheduled job to fail if it has been running for 1hr and automatically rerun it?

   

  Thanks!

  Use Another job to MONITOR the running time and act accordingly!

  how about:

  CREATE  PROCEDURE IsJobRunning @JobName as varchar(100) = Null as

  --check!!

  if (@JobName IS NULL)

   RETURN -1

  Declare @theID as uniqueidentifier

  --get the ID

  Select @theID = A.job_id

   FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','dbServerName'; 'Uname'; 'pwd' , 'SET FMTONLY OFF  exec msdb.dbo.sp_help_job')  as A

  WHERE

  A.[name]= @JobName

  if EXISTS(

  Select *

   FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','dbServerName'; 'Uname'; 'pwd' , 'SET FMTONLY OFF  exec master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs 1,dbo')  as A

   WHERE A.[Job ID] = @theID AND

         A.Running = 1 

  )

   RETURN 1

  ELSE

   RETURN 0
