SQL Agent Job Failed to Start

  • Hi All,

    I have a job scheduled to start at 5:00 PM everyday. Yesterday this job didn't start. I looked in the Job Activity Monitor view and found that the last Run time = 2009/10/14 5:00 PM, Outcome = Successful. Next Run 2009/10/16 05:00 PM. Somehow it's just skipped a day!? :ermm:

    This is the first time this has happened, can anyone tell my why something like this would happen?

    Many thanks

    William

    No idea unless it was either disabled and re-enabled or the schedule has changed.

  • Is there some sort of log I can check to see if the SQL Server Agent was actually up and running at that time?

  • Thanks I got there. It seems someone bounced the server while the package was executing.... now just to find out who so I can kill them 😉
