Job History with Timeline
Have you ever had a problem which you suspect was caused by two jobs running simultaneously? This script will give you a visual representation of the period that jobs were running over. It uses the REPLICATE function to produce a series of spaces (which represents the period before the job ran) and X's (to represent the period the job was running.
Enjoy!
