  • Mark,

    That is why I wanted to know what the job history stated. At least then you would know where to look. Once you know what is starting the job then you can try and track down what to do about it. The Job history is the ONLY place that you can find that information.

  • Gary Johnson, sorry but I don't understand your comments.

    I looked at the columns in the sysjobhistory table. I saw no column that appears to indicate how/who starts a job.  There is a column for "server".  I am assuming that this column means the server on which the job executed.

    Do I have the wrong table, etc.?

    TIA

  • GaryA,

    Look in the column "message" for job step 0.  It should contain something like:

    The Job was invoked by Schedule nn

    (if invoked by SQLAgent's schedule)

    or

    The Job was invoked by User xxxxxxxx

    (if invoked by outside influences)

     


    Cheers,
    - Mark
