Odd issue with Maintenance job histories

  • Hi all,

    On a particular server I keep getting timed out when I try to access a job's history, everything else in MS Studio refreshes ok, and thhe problem is isolated to a particular server, any idea what the cause is?

    Cheers,

    Jim

  • Hi, I had a similar issue when there was no Service Packs installed for MS SQL 2005 and when I had an issue installing SP3 on the same server and it failed on database services part of the install ...

    MCITP: Database Administrator 2005
    MCTS SQL Server 2008
    MCP SQL 2012/2014
    MCSA SQL Server 2012/2014
    MCSE Data Management and Analytics

  • Possible, but there are òther servers still on SP2 that don't exhibit the issue.

  • Check for excessive locks on MSDB database

  • You might try checking also how many records are in the table holding the job history. I've seen the GUI timeout just cause there were so many records to return from the table. I believe the table is sysdbmaintplan_history.
