Remarks

Removing a job step automatically updates the other job steps that reference the deleted step.

For more information about the steps associated with a particular job, run sp_help_jobstep.

Note

Calling sp_delete_jobstep with a @step_id value of zero deletes all job steps for the job.

SQL Server Management Studio provides an easy, graphical way to manage jobs, and is the recommended way to create and manage the job infrastructure.

This stored procedure shares the name of sp_delete_jobstep with a similar object for the Azure Elastic Jobs service for Azure SQL Database. For information about the elastic jobs version, see jobs.sp_delete_jobstep (Azure Elastic Jobs).

Permissions

You can grant EXECUTE permissions on this procedure, but these permissions might be overridden during a SQL Server upgrade.

Other users must be granted one of the following SQL Server Agent fixed database roles in the msdb database:

  • SQLAgentUserRole
  • SQLAgentReaderRole
  • SQLAgentOperatorRole

For details about the permissions of these roles, see SQL Server Agent Fixed Database Roles.

Only members of sysadmin can delete a job step that is owned by another user.

EXEC dbo.sp_delete_jobstep
    @job_name = N'Weekly Sales Data Backup',
    @step_id = 1;
