Arguments

  • [ @job_id= ] job_id
    The job identification number for which to return information. job_id is uniqueidentifier, with a default of NULL.

  • [ @job_name= ] 'job_name'
    The name of the job. job_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

    Note

    Either job_id or job_name must be specified, but both cannot be specified.

    Description

    DEFECT

    Server operation that requests the target server to defect from the Master SQLServerAgent service.

    DELETE

    Job operation that removes an entire job.

    INSERT

    Job operation that inserts an entire job or refreshes an existing job. This operation includes all job steps and schedules, if applicable.

    RE-ENLIST

    Server operation that causes the target server to resend its enlistment information, including the polling interval and time zone to the multiserver domain. The target server also redownloads the MSXOperator details.

    SET-POLL

    Server operation that sets the interval, in seconds, for target servers to poll the multiserver domain. If specified, value is interpreted as the required interval value, and can be a value from 10 to 28,800.

    START

    STOP

    Job operation that requests the stop of job execution.

    SYNC-TIME

  • [ @target_server= ] 'target_server'
    The name of the target server. target_server is nvarchar(128), with a default of NULL.

  • [ @has_error= ] has_error
    Is whether the job should acknowledge errors. has_error is tinyint, with a default of NULL, which indicates no errors should be acknowledged. 1 indicates that all errors should be acknowledged.

  • [ @status= ] status
    The status for the job. status is tinyint, with a default value of NULL.

  • [ @date_posted= ] date_posted
