  • Do the create scripts not work?

  • Many jobs or just a Single job?

    Side by Side upgrade to SQL 2005?

    One option could be Redgate Data Compare - and compare the MSDB database (sysjobs,sysjobschedules, sysjobsteps, sysjobservers, sysjobhistory).

  • Easiest way to do this is through an SSIS package. Just open SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, open new integration package, from your toolbox, drag / drop Transfer Jobs Task, double click, specify instances and run it.

  • the servers are not side by side, wht I did was, Selected all jobs(ctrl+A)->Rt.Click on it-> open script. Copied this script and executed on SQl 2000 server, but I can not see all the jobs transferred. My work is first I have to get all jobs from sql production 2000 server to sql test 2000 server and then tranfer to 2005 TEST server.

    As a check on the Target sql2k server, run the following and see if you get results

    Select Originating_Server, [Name],Enabled,[Description]

    From msdb.dbo.sysjobs

    Do any of those results match the Jobs of the Source server?

  • yes, I see 19 rows on the sql 2000 dest server, but i run the same query on sql 2000 source, it shows 71 rows. so It seems to me all the jobs has not been transferred

  • Do you see commonality between the ones that were successful versus those that were not successfully transferred via your script?

    Also, have you checked your script to see that the 71 not transferred were included in your script? When you ran the script, did you encounter any errors?

  • Forgot to move the Operators first, i got it. once I run the script for Operators, then I ran the script for Jobs. All jobs are copied on the destination server. Thanks for all your support guys

  • You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
