Description

Retrieves a list of all run of a specified SQLAgent scheduled job

The list is augmented with last run status, duration, message and notification data for all steps in the job.

It must be noted that Step 0 ('Job Outcome') will always be present as a system-generated step and contains a summary of job execution information. There will then be one or more additional step details for the job, depending on how many steps the job has and how many ran before the job completed or gave an error.

It requires the presence of the following functions:

** NOTE: This code was written for SQL 2005 and greater. There are slightly different views for obtaining data from SQL 2000, or for obtaining data in SQL 2005+ that has been subjected to an upgrade from SQL 2000. While upgrading maintenance plans generally works, I have always found it beneficial in the long term to recreate them from scratch. The feature set is better, and there are some tasks that are not 100% happy working across editions. I have therefore not included versions of the code that support SQL 2000 version maintenance plans.

Code

Stored Procedure:

DROP PROC usp_GetMSDBJobRunDetails

GO

CREATE PROC usp_GetMSDBJobRunDetails (@Job_ID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER)

AS

/****************************************************

Purpose: To list a single SQL Agent scheduled job and

the historic run details if they exist.

The Job_ID passed as a parameter determines the job

to be displayed.

Job_ID was used ratehr than name as the name can be changed

through the GUI but the Job_ID remains the same,

and it was originally intended that this SP be called

from an SSRS report using click-through to a sub-report (so no need

to actually type the GUID)

Utilised the followng function(s) to retrieve

results and/or to enhance readability:

dbo.udf_GetMSDBJobList - gets a basic set of job details

dbo.udf_IntToDateTime - converts the MSDB date and time integers into a datetime variable

NOTE: All steps (0..n) will be return for each job, as there may be several combinations of results type

which would be complex to code for, but which would make sense if displayed as a report grouping

1. Job failed on invocation - only step #0 with fail status

2. Job failed during invocation - steps 0..n with fail status for steps #0 and #n and success for steps in between

3. Job succeeded - steps 0..n all with succeeded status

Unfortunately, step #0 contains summary information - for single-step jobs, step #0 and #1 appear to have duplicate info.
