SQL Jobs Between Two Time Periods

  • Does anyone have any utility procedure to find the SQL jobs that

    are scheduled to run between any two variable timeframes? The next run date

    in the SQL EM Job Details would not work, since it is just the next run date.

    For example, let us say I have a job that runs every 2 hours, and let's say the next

    run date is 4 PM. If I need to find the jobs running between

    9 and 11 PM, this job would run during that time (at 10 PM, every 2 hours) and hence needs to be

    reported. I would appreciate is anyone has any script to do so. Though I could query

    the system tables in msdb, I would prefer not reinvent the wheel if someone has already

    done so.

    thanks.

  • Interesting. This could easily get confusing to read. Are you looking for a query that reports all jobs that "potentially" will run between some time frame?

  • Hello, the following script has not been fully tested. But you get the point, you can do your own debugging.

  • This procedure shows history between two runtimes. I am looking for something that would show

    the jobs sheduled to run between provided timeframes in the future.

    I appreciate your time.

    Thanks.

  • The first select statement shows the NEXT run date for the Jobs. The second select statement shows the history.

    To show all the scheduled date/time, not just the NEXT run date, I guess you have to play around with the sysjobschedules table in msdb e.g. the freq_type, freq_interval fields should give you the infor.
