Scheduled job won''t run

  • Over 3 years ago I wrote a VBscript that runs as a job under SQL Server 2000. In the last week it has stopped working. The "view history" option shows no runs for the job -- it simply doesn't run. The Windows Event log shows no problems either. When I log in as Admin, I can successfully run the job (right-click in EM and "Start Job") and it works fine. I recreated the job but the new job displays the same problem.  (Oh, yes. the SqlAgent is running on that box, the job is enabled, and the nightly backup, run from the same box, starts just fine.)

    Any ideas what else to look for?

     

    TIA,

    Bill

  • - Is the schedule active ?

    - who is job-owner ? (and is cmdshell open for non-sysadms (don't if not explicitly needed !  )  ?

    - does the sqlagent service account have the needed auth. for the vbs ?

  • What does it show under "Next Run Date"  ??

    Sometimes I've had the job enabled, but the schedule was not enabled. They both must be enabled.

    Perhaps there's an "end date" in the schedule ?
