Re: Job succeeds manually but fails if scheduled



(teddysnips@xxxxxxxxxxx) writes:
I checked on this today. All the jobs that run correctly have exactly
the same owners/permissions as the job that fails. I can't find any
attribute of the job (apart from what it actually does, obviously) that
distinguishes it from any of the other, successful jobs.

One other thing of which I was not aware. Apparently this job had been
scheduled successfully up until about a week ago, when it began
failing.

Any further thoughts/ideas?

Check View History for the job. Don't miss to check View Step History.

Unfortunately, jobs that set up from a maintenance plan does not seem to
write very much useful information, so I'm not really expecting this to
give you anything. (But check nevertheless.) I the maintenance plan has
its own log somewhere, but I don't remember where - or if there was anything
that useful in it.

May you should scrap the plan, and set up the jobs without it.
