SQL Jobs and retrying steps that fail

  • Is it possible to have a SQL Job retry a step, maybe a couple of times, after it fails? And let's say delay the retry for 30 minutes or so.

    (I'm sorry to ask this question, but at least in the only database I see I have access to SQL Server Agent the best I can do is just execute a SQL job. So I can't experiment to find out for myself.)

  • In job setting we have to give the retry Attempts(5) and Retry Interval (After 2 min or 30 min)

    Got to job properties-->Select steps-->Edit the step-->Just below the on Success action you can see the Retry Attempts and Retry interval options.

  • Yes.

    Under the job step properties, in the advanced section, there's a spot for Retry Attempts and Retry Interval which do exactly that.

    Cheers!

  • Thank you, rose and Jacob.
