  • Hey create this procedure in msdb db and exec as

    EXEC usp_job_history '10/02/2004'

    ------------------

    CREATE PROCEDURE usp_job_history

    @dateparam DATETIME

    AS

    SELECT dbo.sysjobhistory.server, dbo.sysjobs.name AS job_name,

    CASE dbo.sysjobhistory.run_status

    WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed'

    WHEN 1 THEN 'Succeeded'

    ELSE '???'

    END as run_status, dbo.sysjobhistory.run_date, dbo.sysjobhistory.run_time, dbo.sysjobhistory.step_id, dbo.sysjobhistory.step_name, dbo.sysjobhistory.run_duration, dbo.sysjobhistory.message

    FROM dbo.sysjobhistory INNER JOIN

    dbo.sysjobs ON dbo.sysjobhistory.job_id = dbo.sysjobs.job_id

    WHERE dbo.sysjobs.category_id = 0 and dbo.sysjobhistory.run_date = datepart(yyyy,@dateparam)*10000 + datepart(mm,@dateparam)*100 + datepart(dd,@dateparam)

    ORDER BY dbo.sysjobhistory.server, dbo.sysjobhistory.run_date, dbo.sysjobhistory.run_time, dbo.sysjobs.name, dbo.sysjobhistory.step_id

    GO

  • Perhaps I am missing something but this stored-procedure only tells you historically the last time a SQL Agent job started and finished, it does not tell you the start time of a job that is currently running. For instance, if I started a job a 6am this morning and it complete 2 hours later, it shows up in the resultset for your query. However, if my co-worker kicked the same job off again at 3pm...there's no record of it whatsoever.

    Am I missing something big here?

  • Try to look in activity monitor, start_time, last_batch, wait_time of your process.
