SQL_EXECUTE_JOB

Executes a job on the MS SQL Server.

Syntax

SQL_EXECUTE_JOB JOB=...

Syntax	Description/Format
JOB=	Name of the MS SQL job.

The agent uses the stored procedure sp_start_job in the database msdb in order to start the MS SQL jobs.

The status of the AE job depends on the started job's execution:

Status of the MS SQL job	Status of the AE job
MS SQL job has successfully ended	ENDED_OK
MS SQL job has aborted	ENDED_NOT_OK
User has canceled the MS SQL job	ENDED_CANCEL

The AE job also aborts if the user is not authorized or if a database other than Microsoft SQL Server has been used.

The agent calls the stored procedure sp_stop_job if you terminate the AE job while the MS SQL job is still active. In doing so, the MS SQL job does not abort immediately and is monitored until its end has been defined.

Tip: You can write a script to retrieve a list of all available MS SQL jobs. For more information, see SQL_GET_JOBS.

Examples
