Maintenance Plan "fails"..

Thanks in advance for any insight.
On occasion, one of my schedule jobs will "fail", in that all tasks
complete, but it still reports failure. Strangely enough, nothing is written
to SQL Server log, but I do have the following entry in the Event Viewer:
"SQL Server Scheduled Job 'DB Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'Non-Great
Plains Daily Backup'' (0x01BF5D1C32E9FF418D67E99A77A4A014) - Status:
Failed - Invoked on: 2004-06-08 20:00:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job
was invoked by Schedule 35 (Schedule 1). The last step to run was step 1
(Step 1)."
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
MorganAny messages in the report file? (Did you specify a report file, btw?)

The only thing in the report file is that it was unable to delete one of the
database backups. Other than that, all of the steps completed. Would that
cause the job to think it failed?
Thanks,
Morgan

seperate job, that way if deleting a previous days backup failed it wouldn't
look like the databases didn't get backed up since that would be a seperate
task with its own status.
Thanks,
Morgan

using ActiveScript, TSQL of whatever is your preference...

Maintenance for SQL 2005 Express:

Maintenance for SQL 2005 Express:How to create a maintenance schedule for 2005 express. In SQL2000 there was Maintenance for creating schedules where did it get moved to in SQL 2.005 express?

since SSIS(SQLServer Integration Service) is not there in the Express, you can not create maintenance plan in SQL Serer Express. You can make your own script and call that using windows scheduler.

You have lot of limitation in Express. If you want more feature you may go for licensed versions

SQL Server Agent is NOT included with SQL Express.

You can use a combination of Stored Procedures, SQLCmd.exe, and the Windows Scheduler to create and run your maintenance routines.

And here are some open source projects and guidelines that seem to provide much of the SQL Agent service to SQL Express.

Maint Plans

Hi
SQL Server 2005 sp2
I have a maint plan that was created via the wizzard using separate schedule
fpr each task
sub_plan1 - history clean up; scheduled onec a day at 03:00AM
sub_plan2 - Full backup for all databases; scheduled onec a day at 03:00AM
sub_plan3 - Log backup for specific databases ; scheduled daily every 10
minutes
sub_plan4 - maintenace cleanup; scheduled onec a day at 03:00AM
I face 2 problems:
1. sub_plan2(Full) works only for those databases that are not part of
sub_plan3(Log)
2. sub_plan4 does not work
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks,
YanivHi
Have you set up the reporting and logging options for the maintenance plan
(next to manage connections) on tool bar. Knowing what the error messages
are! Make sure that your log backups are not running at the same time as the
full backup.
