Maintenance Plans

  • I'm having issues setting up maintenance plans in 2005.

    Management studio lets me start a new Maintenance Plan and configure it, but everytime I try to save it I get an error message that says "No Description Found."  I have found very little information about this problem, but what I have seen mentioned SSIS so I figured this would be a good place to post.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • has ssis been installed, without it on the box where you are creating the plans it will fail to save the plan. The wizard will get to the last step but thats it.

  • Yes it has, forgot to mention that.

    I also installed SP1 yesterday.

  • I have the same issue. I do have Integration Services installed and have created successful maintenance plans in the past, however I too, get this message. Initially there was no description, I have added one, but I still get the message about no description being found.

  • I'm not sure what I did, but it is working now.  I called Microsoft to get some help and, just like when your car stops making that 'weird noise' when you take it to a mechanic, it started working fine.

    1 thing that I have been doing a little different is not selected system databases in any of my plans.

    Maybe that'll help you out.

  • Also FYI on the maintanence task of deleting old back ups. I had a problem where it would not delete the old files. It was looking for extension .bak So I changed that after I got some advice here to just bak and the files are now getting deleted

  • I have noticed that since I have applied SP1 to a test SQL 2005 that when I create SSIS packages when I save them I get a 'No Description Found' as well.
