SQL Server Agent Error

  • Hi there,

    I'm a rookie at Microsoft SQL and I need your help getting a sqlserver agent job up and

    running.

    Background:

    - We have a database that is fed syslog information. When

    connections are made through the syslog, information such

    as hostname, date, time is recorded and entered into the

    database.

    - These connections are happening continously throughout

    the day

    - We need to be able to have an operator notified when a

    certain number of connections is reached. For example, if

    there are 500 connections made in 30 minutes, we would

    like for an email to be sent to a particular operator.

    Where we are so far:

    - I'm in the process of creating a job in the sql server

    agent service.

    - If i go to the job properties, then notifications tab;

    and then try to send a test email to the nominated

    operator, it displays the following error:

    "Error 22022: SQLServerAgent Error: The SQLServerAgent

    mail session is not running; check the mail

    profileand/orthe SQLServerAgentservice startupaccount in

    the SQLServerAgent properties dialog."

    Hence the problem...

    I've made sure the mail profile is the same as the machine login, im using a corporate or workgroup for outlook - i pretty much followed all the steps i found on the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    Am i going about this task the wrong way? If yes, please

    advise as to what the best way to go about this is. If

    not, how can i get around this error? Help me! Please!

    Cheers,

  • Vonnie,

    This can happen if SqlServerAgent is not logged as the same account as the MSSQLserver. Check your Services on the server. Right click on these services and check the properties for the Log On account.

    All the best,

    Dale

  • Hi Dale,

    I took your suggestion and it worked beautifully - your a machine!

    Cheers,

    vonnie
