Schedule job failure

  • i guys,

    A scheduled job is failing continuously with this error

    Executed as user: BLAH\admin. Failed to execute get connection string command. Inner Error ------------------> Row#: 0 Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Instance: "DBShadow" Procedure: "sp_syscollector_get_warehouse_connection_string" Line#: 16 Error Number: 14686 Error State: 1 Error Severity: 16 Error Message: "The MDWInstance and MDWDatabase parameters of the configuration store cannot be null." Help File: "(null)", Help context: 0 GUID: {0C733A63-2A1C-11CE-ADE5-00AA0044773D}. OLE DB Error Record dump end. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

    Even if I change the user, it still doesn't work.

    This is what the job is doing:

    Step 1:

    Type: Operating System (CmdExec)

    dcexec -c -s 1 -i "$(ESCAPE_DQUOTE(MACH))\$(ESCAPE_DQUOTE(INST))" -m 1

    Step 2:

    Type: TSQL

    EXEC [dbo].[sp_syscollector_purge_collection_logs]

    Step 3:

    Type: Operating System (CmdExec)

    dcexec -u -s 1 -i "$(ESCAPE_DQUOTE(MACH))\$(ESCAPE_DQUOTE(INST))"

    There are few different teams at play here. Not sure where to start looking at first. Can you please let me know where should I start here and where could be the problem?

    Thanks a lot.

  • Maybe, the spp causes this error. You can excute the spp in your database directly. I saw that error message here: parameters is not null.

  • This is data collector and the management data warehouse.

    I would first start by checking the configuration, under management - data collection - (right click) management data warehouse.

  • Thanks guys. I will give these a whirl..
