In this post, I am sharing one DBA helpful script to find the status and schedule information of SQL Server Agent JOB.

Using SSMS, We can also find this information, but working with the script is always better.

As we are Database Administrator, we are also responsible for reporting of different type of database objects.

We can use below script to report important information about the SQL Server Agent JOB.

USE msdb
GO 
SELECT 
	SJ.name AS JobName
	,CASE
		WHEN SJ.enabled = 1 THEN 'Enable'
	ELSE 'Disable'
	END AS JobStatus
	,SJ.description AS JobDescription
	,SS.name AS JobScheduleName
	,CASE
		WHEN SS.enabled = 1 THEN 'Enable'
		WHEN SS.enabled = 0 THEN 'Disable'
	ELSE 'Not Schedule'
	END AS JobScheduleStatus
	,SS.active_start_date AS ActiveStartDate
	,SS.active_end_date AS ActiveEndDate
	,SS.active_start_time AS ActiveStartTime
	,SS.active_end_time AS ActiveEndTime
FROM dbo.sysjobs AS SJ
LEFT JOIN dbo.sysjobschedules AS SJS
        ON SJ.job_id = SJS.job_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.sysschedules AS SS
        ON SJS.schedule_id = SS.schedule_id
GO

In this post, I am sharing one more script related to SQL Server Agent JOB.

In our reporting environment, one day I was facing performance issue. During my investigation, was found that one of the SQL Agent JOB was creating problems.

Because of JOB scheduling problems, one of the SHRINK database related JOB started in working hours which created performance issue.

If we have large system with lots of SQL Agent Jobs, The DBA is also very much responsible to keep an eye on all running SQL Server Agent Jobs.

Below T-SQL script, returns the information on all running SQL Agent Jobs.

SELECT
	SJ.Name
	,SJ.job_ID
	,SJA.run_requested_Date    
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS SJ 
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity AS SJA
	ON SJ.job_id = SJA.job_id
WHERE SJA.run_requested_date IS NOT NULL
	AND SJA.stop_execution_date IS NULL
