Job Success

  • Hi,

    We have created the job with maintanance plan for taking the backup of the database through light speed 2005 tool.

    one of database backup tasks failed on the job but the job status shows as Success even though the backup task failed on it.

    I have verified on the job history ,event log,maintanance history and error log file but i could not find the any adept root cause and also verified the sql job advance option on failure action .

    Is there any to find the root cause for why the status not updated as failure ?

    Thanks in Advance.

  • Hi Sudhakara,

    Check the job properties if "Quit reporting Success" is selected when the job fails. Add an output file to

    the job step. This will give you more details regarding the job failure.

    I think i have enabled that option. will check and update you. what would happen if i have enable that .

    Do you mean to say that because of that success that job status show as success even if backup failes?

  • @ sudha

    It happens sometimes that the backup is done but it is not verified to be consistent and so as a whole; job is success but it doesnt have any backup..( this has very less probablity) but ya it occured with me though.

    Also, do you have any more steps in the job or just a backup?
