Getting failed jobs in the last hour

  • Hi

    I am having some problems identifying which jobs has failed in the last hour on SQL Server 2000.

    On SQL Server 2005 I use this:

    SELECT DISTINCT GETDATE() as ts, name, start_execution_date, stop_execution_date, message, server

    FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs

    INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity ON msdb.dbo.sysjobs.job_id = msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity.job_id

    INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory ON msdb.dbo.sysjobs.job_id = msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory.job_id

    WHERE (stop_execution_date > dateadd(hh, -1, getdate()) OR start_execution_date > dateadd(hh, -1, getdate()))

    AND message LIKE 'The job failed%'

    To identify which jobs has failed in the last day on SQL Server 2000 I found this:

    SELECT sjh.server,sj.name, CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),sjh.message) as message , sjh.run_date, sjh.run_time

    FROM msdb..sysjobhistory sjh

    JOIN msdb..sysjobs sj on sjh.job_id = sj.job_id

    JOIN (SELECT job_id, max(instance_id) maxinstanceid

    FROM msdb..sysjobhistory

    WHERE run_status NOT IN (1,4)

    GROUP BY job_id) a ON sjh.job_id = a.job_id AND sjh.instance_id = a.maxinstanceid

    WHERE DATEDIFF(dd,CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),sjh.run_date), GETDATE()) <= 1

    I can't seem to make it return the failed jobs in the last hour though :unsure:

    Can anyone help me figure out how to retrieve that?

  • Try changing WHERE DATEDIFF(dd,CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),sjh.run_date), GETDATE()) <= 1

    to

    WHERE DATEDIFF(hh,CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),sjh.run_date), GETDATE()) <= 1

    Hi Greg

    Thanks for the suggestion - I tried it myself with no success though.

    I have come up with my own solution to the problem:

    As run_date and run_time in msdb..sysjobhistory both are int values, instead of datetime (As start_execution_date in SQL Server 2005) making me able to compare them with the present date and time, I converted the two int's into one datetime.

    That enables me to compare the values, and establish whether or not a job has failed during the last hour.

    Here's my code:

    -- converts the run_date and run_time int's into a datetime

    DECLARE @date char(8)

    DECLARE @time_hh char(2)

    DECLARE @time_mm char(2)

    DECLARE @time_ss char(2)

    SET @date = CONVERT(char(8), (SELECT TOP 1 run_date FROM msdb..sysjobhistory WHERE run_status = 0 ORDER BY instance_id DESC))

    SET @time_hh = (SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(CONVERT(char(8), run_time),1,2) FROM msdb..sysjobhistory WHERE run_status = 0 ORDER BY instance_id DESC)

    SET @time_mm = (SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(CONVERT(char(8), run_time),3,2) FROM msdb..sysjobhistory WHERE run_status = 0 ORDER BY instance_id DESC)

    SET @time_ss = (SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(CONVERT(char(8), run_time),5,2) FROM msdb..sysjobhistory WHERE run_status = 0 ORDER BY instance_id DESC)

    DECLARE @datetime_char datetime

    SET @datetime_char = CONVERT(datetime, (SELECT @date + ' ' + @time_hh + ':' + @time_mm + ':' + @time_ss))

    -- checks whether or not the last job to fail was executed less than an hour ago

    IF (@datetime_char > dateadd(hh, -1, getdate()))

    BEGIN

    PRINT 'One or more jobs failed in the past hour'

    -- insert what to do when jobs have failed

    END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    PRINT 'No jobs failed in the last hour'

    -- insert what to do when no jobs has failed

    END

    Of course the action taken when a job has failed, shouldn't be a print - it's just to see if it works 🙂

    If anyone has comments/suggestions to the code I would appreciate it.

  • This is what I use to list failed jobs

    SELECT DISTINCT

    CAST(CONVERT(datetime,CAST(run_date AS char(8)),101) AS char(11))AS 'Failure Date',

    SUBSTRING(T2.name,1,40)AS 'Job Name',

    T1.step_id AS 'Step_id',

    T1.step_nameAS 'Step Name',

    LEFT(T1.[message],500)AS 'Error Message'

    FROM msdb..sysjobhistory T1

    JOINmsdb..sysjobsT2

    ON T1.job_id = T2.job_id

    WHERET1.run_status NOT IN (1,4)

    ANDT1.step_id != 0

    ANDrun_date >= CONVERT(char(8), (select dateadd (day,(-1), getdate())), 112)

    i'm still a bit rough on t-sql

    can you tell me what the 112 is for at the very end?

    Hi

    The 112 at the end is a format style for dates. 112 is the ISO standard -> yymmdd

    You can see several ways of formatting dates here: http://www.sql-server-helper.com/tips/date-formats.aspx

  • THis will give the list of the jobs even there any step also gets failed.

    select distinct b.server, a.name 'Job_Name' ,b.step_id ,

    +' Jobs run_status :'+ convert(char(2), b.run_status) +' ,' + b.message as message,

    B.run_date,B.run_time, B.run_duration

    From msdb.dbo.sysjobs a

    join msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory b on a.job_id = b.job_id

    join msdb.dbo.SysJOBSteps D on a.job_id = D.job_id

    where b.run_status in(1,0)

    and D.last_run_date <> 0

    and D.last_run_time <> 0

    and (message like '%(10) without succeeding%' or message like '%failed%')

    and Message not like '%The step succeeded%'

    and b.instance_id in ( select Max(instance_id) from msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory C where C.job_id=A.job_id GROUP BY Run_date, step_id )

    and b.run_date >= convert(char(10),getdate()-1,112)

  • Hi

    I Use this in a scheduled job to run every hour to check for failed jobs.

    I also set up a db mail procedure to email if any jobs fail on that server.

    Saves setting up notification for all the jobs when one procedure covers them all.
